. It Will be noticed' that" the board
exiierieliced -a change of niind on the
police signal question ' since the last
meeting aud decided that it would be
well to go Into it o the extent of
$5,000 and keep- adding to if from
year to year. There was a lengthy
discussion on the proposition to build
two new schools, next year, one on
AVest Side. Hill and another in the
North End. Some of the members of
the board, notably Mr Bannon, thought
the West Side Hill " school matter
might be deferred,'' there being no
crowding there at- present and not
likely to be any for some time, to
comet He believed in ample school
room; accommodation for the children
in all the districts, but he contended
that the need of a new building should
be more pressing than It is in that
.district before the city decides to add
two mills to its rate of taxation for
that purpose. The other members
favored the project and it went
through. A bond Issue of $:00.0O0 to
meet the floating indebtedness of the
center school district which at pres
ent amounts 1o $200,000, was ordered.

COMPLETED THE PURCHASE.
City Now Owns About 250 Acres at
Wigwam Reservoir.
The city has completed the purchase
oi two pieces of property at the Wig
wam reservoir fronting the old valley
turnpike, which brings the number of
u res In the tract belonging to the city
I i.p to about 520. One of the pieces pur
. chased this week belonged to Clark S.
, and Antoinette L. Woodward, and
j consists of forty-six 'acres with dwell-
ing house, barn and other buildings,
j The other addition was purchased from !
George It. and Cecilia Wedge, and in
; eludes eight acres, with house and .
I barn. The only other Intended pur-
chase by the city there at the present
i t:tnc is an acre or so from Dan Wood
, ruff, and this has been secured, but
the deeds have not yet been signed.
There was nothing between most of
the property and the reservoir but the
road, which will soon be discontinued,
j and iu any case the city needed the
plopei ty as a sanitary precaution and
for the closeness of the outhouses ou
these properties to the water has al
ways been a matter of much concern
to the water board. Besides this, the
laud had to be bought in order to
aise the dam.
One of the parties interested in some
cf the property. Mrs Lucinda Newton,
who has passed her 08th birthday, de
lighted Mayor Kilduff nnd City Engi
neer cairns, who called at the house
to get the deedft signed. Mavor Kil
duff says that Mrs Newton appears to
be in full possession of all her senses,
can read without the aid of spectacles
anil appended her signature to the
deed in a steady, legible hand, which
would compare favorably with the best
efforts of many people who make a
living at the business. She has an
abundance of beautiful black hair and
eyes that dance and glitter as though
Ihey still possessed all the lire and
vigor of youth. She is a brilliant con
versationalist and can discuss topics
of interest in a manner which shows
that although she has almost reached
the century mark, she is still abreast
of the times, not only things of local
interest, but on matters of national Im
portance. Indeed, she displayed such
knowledge of these matters that May
or Kilduff and Engineer Cairns, clever
fellows .as everybody knows them to
be. were confused at some of her
questions and marveled much how one
who is almost as old as this republic
could be possessed of such a wonder
fully retentive memory. She is full
of animation and enjoys a timely joke
as well as she used to in the time of
her girlhood in the district school at
Northlield. where she was born and
reared, though the mayor and the en
gineer are of the opinion that Mrs
Newton must have received a higher
education than one would expect could
be obtained in the village schools of -that
dav and time.
The people about the reservoir ne
cuse the citv of Waterbury of convert
ing that place Into a wilderness aud
claim that a human being Will be soon
a rare bird in that section. Already,
they say. almost all the old neighbors
have disappeared and the place has be
come so lonesome that the birds, foxes,
squirrels, rabbits and other denizens of
the woods appear to be monarchs of
all the.v survey and look vnzi the oc
casional wayfarer who happe-s
there as an intruder, so that soon man
will walk the city's forests at the Wig-'
warn reservoir at the peril of his life.
