Perhaps a short history of the; introductiOn of the water and hows ’ h introduction was managed by the; commissioners,- would tbrow some light on the subjeCt, and with which, none’ butthgolder pop- ulation of the borough'iaref‘fCOnvorsant. After several meetin§§;':gtl13 vot'é‘is of the borough decided to havfii'water in- troduced, and elected a board of three commissioners, under whose authority and direction the worksiwere to be con”- struc'ted. .. ' , ' ' The commissioners were Dr. Samuel Lynes, T. H. Morison. and Wm. K. James. f After protracted examinations, the board of commissioners decided to build the principal resorvoir at Silver Mine, and a distributing resetvo“ on Spring Hill. The cont acts for the mas- onry and pipes laid, ere made with what? were be‘Teved to the. responsible parties, none of whom}, were residents ’Of the borough. The contracts were carefully drawn, and if the work had been done according tO’such contrac’ 1, there would not now orheretofore have been any scarcity of water. The trouble was, that the commis- sioners, probably to save expense, did not employ competentgpersons to see that the work was done in accordance with the contracts, hilt engaged unem- ployed young men, who knew nothing whatever of the work they were to sup- erintend, and as a natural consequence, the contractors cheated the borough right and left. The dam, at Silver Mine, was paid for as first-class, solid cement set masonry, and never ought constructed,and leaking when accepted. as it has done ever since. In the low- est portion Of the dam, (the bed Of the i brook,)the writer 8." w boulders tumbled in and the super-structure Of masonry built thereon, andlof course there has been a. large leak there ever since. cher pert-ions of the darn has, and y. '11 continue to leak, until film, whole. dam is reconstructed. Any plastering of cement on the front of the dam would be entirely useless, and money thrown away. To put the dam in good order and make it water tight, will be an ex- pensive job, but it must be done to in- sure against water famine hereafter. At the time the distributing reservoir was built, there was a heavy leak on the westerly side, whether that leak has ever been stopped can easily be tested. . The cement-lined pipes have, in many cases, been found defective, owing to. the want of the proper thickness Of cement covering, which competent in- spection would have insisted upon. Cement-lined pipes that had been in use twenty years before the Norwalk pipes were laid, are now in good order, and players will, 'no doubt, soontbe invited ‘ In the 'prelimmary round which .com- - , ’S‘tL‘Patrickfs church, where the solemn _ 3 our own would be, if they had been laid down and covered as the contract called for, The late William’Glover, a year or two before his death, called the at- tention of the writer to the cement cov- ering of the pipe in Main street, to which he was - connecting. a service, where thecement covering was 'less than one-eight of an inch thick," in-v’ stead Of five-sights, as the contract called for. . —Godillots’ Sardines and Macaroni are the best in the world ; sold only by Betts & Farrington. 2t.
