Test Wells Specifications Sought From Three Firms
Water Commission Chairman John Burbank announced that specifications for drilling a dozen test wells have been mailed to three firms with bids invited. The project aims to assess subsurface water, potentially completed by November first, at an estimated cost of 25000 dollars. Seismic surveys by Weston Geophysical Laboratories point to Coltsville near the Housatonic River, Brattle Brook off Williams Street, and north of the treatment plant off Holmes Road as likely water-bearing areas. The commission is studying the merits of creating a separate water department, noting higher water revenue is needed to operate current water services under Public Works.

Joint Study Groups Proposal Rejected by School Board
The School Committee voted against establishing joint study groups with the Pittsfield Teachers Association. Association President Edwin R. Grady sent the request to examine curriculum and school problems. Superintendent James P. Reynolds suggested it stemmed from competition with the Pittsfield Federation of Teachers and their practice of going to the School Committee directly. The committee favored current administration led processes for recommending changes and noted no need for the board to oversee such matters. Grady said the association hoped for teachers to have a voice in planning, but he arrived after the discussion.
