Special Committee: — Committee appointed to interview Mr. John Mc- Connell, re outlet of nMsry street drain, beg to submit the following report. Your Committee went over the ground and also interviewed Mr. Connell, We rind at the present time there is very little of any sewerage going on to Mr. Connell's property, however we find the discolored water from Knitting Factory going onto this property and keeping acres of low flat land wet and this seems to be the most serious. griv- ance at present. The sewerage which Mr. Connell claims the tow11 had been running on to his property has now been stopped, Nov Mr. Connell's pro- positiohh to the Committee is that if the town will put in an open drain from Mr. Middleton's line fence through a small grove, a matter of about 110 yards; then run 5 one foot tile drain through flat land to connect with large open ditch a matter of about 260 yards or a total expenditure 'of about $300, This being done Mr. Connell agrees to take care of the water through the bal- ance of his land, we recommend that this Council instruct our Solicitor to draft an agreement suitable to these terms.
