'was posted yes terday The meeting will be held in Wash ington hall on Monday evening the 29thz at 7 The warrant contains 13 articles which show that the principal busi ness of the meeting will be centered on the question of additional water supply Article 0 is to see if the district will authorize the water commissioners to instal an addi tional water supply for the district and to take by purchase or otherwise such land or rights of way as may be necessary4 Article 10 is to see if the district will authorize the commissioners to petition the Legislature for the legislation necessary to secure the proposed additional water supply Article 11 is to see if the district will vote to authorize the commissioners to buy machinery for the pumping station Other articles deal with the question of extending the fire district limits so as to include that section of the town known as the Montague City road and to authorize the prudential committee to obtain such legislation as may be necessary The move for an additional water supply is' practically the same question that Super intendent Merrill advocated last year Tho water commissioners appear to be favor able to the plan of Allen Hazen consult ing engineer of New York Mr Hazen is of the opinion that the best plan would be to build a well near the Green river at the Country farm bridge for an addi tional water supply It was recently shown that the water pressure is more than adequate now that the Rocky rnoun tain reservoir has been completed "but the water commissioners are of the opinion that there should be an additional supply
