Waterbury Aldermen Endorse Wide Public Works Agenda
The board met briefly and approved communications from the mayor urging the city attorney to seek passage of acts. Proposals include speed limits for cars, affordable streetcar fares, safer brakes, Waterbury bond issuance for a municipal water system, and creation of a legal department with a corporation counsel. A ward redivision plan to create 12 to 20 wards is urged to improve elections and accountability. The meeting approved public works recommendations and referred several petitions and sidewalk, street and lighting requests to the relevant committees. The board adjourned for a week.

Water supply improves as Branch rises over five feet
By noon today the Branch stood five feet one and a half inches higher after yesterday’s rainstorm. Water flows into the big reservoir and Superintendent Kennedy expects more from nearby brooks in days. Some areas previously cut off are restored to the old source and the East Mountain reservoir gained about a foot and a half. Embargo on elevators lifted. Waterbury appears safe for winter.
