Report of Water Commissimiers
of Borough of N orwalk.
Nonwam, Coma, Nov. 15th, 1876.
FELLOW Ciriznus:——The Board of Wait-er
Commissioners hereby preéent the following
report for the year ending November lst, 1876,
In accordance with a vote of the Borough,
we have laid 2272 feet of 4 inch iron pipe
from the Lounsbury 1b Bissell Company’s
Mills to the Norwalk Mills, in Vt'innipauk, at
an expense of $1,498 42. The Norwalk
Mills have set a private fire hydrant connect-
ing with this pipe, and have agreed to pay for
the use of the water for fire purposes and for
office use, the sum of two hundred and fifty
dollars ($250 00) per annum. This is the ex-
tent of the addition to the works except the
setting of a 4 inch gate at the head of the’
street leading to the propeller dock, which
gate was furnished by the contractors for
laying the pipe. ‘
On the 25th of March last there was a
fresliet which carried away the sluiccway
across the Kellogg road, made a clear cut
through the road some 25 feet‘in 'width and
undermined the 12 inch main for about fifteen
feet, leaving it suspended with the additional
weight of a 12 inch gate and two 4 inch blow
offs attached to it. The damage was not. dis-
covered until the next morning when the
pipe was found to have stood the great strain
put upon it without breaking, thus prevent-
ing a most serious accident. We have re-
covered the pipe with cement and the town
has repaired the road and the sluiceway.
The hydrants have just been examined and
put in order, and the whole works are believ-
ed to be in good condition.
ngiave granted 51 new applications for
the use of the water, and the increase in the
water rent collections over the preceeding
years is four hundred and twenty-seven 86-
100, ($427 86.)
The running expenses and repairs are six
hundred and forty seven dollars and 77-000
less than last year. .
The amount paid by this department to-
wards the interest on the water bonds due
July lst, and Jan. 1st, 1876 is four thousand
and seven hundred dollars, an increase
over last year of nine hundred dollars and
we expect to be able to pay two thousand
seven hundred and fifty dollars towards the
interest due Jan. lst, 187". The foregoing
together with the accompanying financial
statements is respectfully submitted signed,

One of the novelties of - economy that
France will show us at the approaching ex-
hibition is a process of manufacturing from
refuse particles of bread a variety of useful
products. A gentleman engaged for some
years in this business is said to have realized
afortune of 3,000,000 francs. He has had
an army of men, women, and children em-
ployed in collecting this waste bread from
hotels, restaurants, and private houses.
From the best and fresher scraps is made
what is called erouls rm pot, z”. 2., square or
diamond-shaped pieces for soup, which sell
for 15 centimes or 3 cents :per pound. The
