matter of an additional water ‘supply for 
Manchester at the special town meeting 
Monday evening other than to accept the 
report of the committee and. ratify and 
afirm their action in introducing a bill 
before the legislature for the use of the 
water of Round Pond in addition to that 
of Gravel Pond as an additional source. 
“In fact, no legal action could be taken 
toward Skiing an appropriation until the 
bill is passed upon by the legislature. 
The motion, offered by Oliver T.

for the use of the waters of Round Pond 
as an additional source of water supply 
‘for the Town of Manchester, supple- 
- menting those of Gravelly Pond already 
granted,-be ratified and- confirmed; ‘and 
that said committee be continued and 
‘instructed to report at a future town 
“meeting. 
The rest of the evening was spent in
