The case stemmed from a Chittenden County Court jury's award of damages to a Burlington man who was injured in a boat race during the 1958 Lake Champlain Wateiama sponsored by the Burlington-Lake Champlain Chamber of Commerce.

The defendent John Killary, claimed that a spectator boat had churned up waves which caused him to lose control of his seed-boat. Killary boat was then thrown into the path of a competing boat. The Chamber of Commerce asked that the verdict be set aside because the lower court had allowed counsel for Killary to show colored slides in court showing the extent of Killary's injuries. Killary required plastic sur- I fiery. jjlp Chamber contended that colored pictures "make sharp contrasts thai may be unrealistic.

threatened to explode between Eastman and Irving. Eastman told Irving to "shut up" while the manager was talking, but Irving avoided any further explosions by complying with the selectman's request. Alderman Strong declared that he felt there was much personal feeling against "our manager," mixed up in the entire affair. Irving Responsible For System Irving was responsible for the installation of the siphon system which met with disapproval of Berlin residents but has been widely acclaimed by Montpelier people as it is said to have improved the quality and standards of the water supply. "I know I will be accused of taking sides with the town of Berlin," Mayor Colburn said, but he stood up and pointed at a diagram drawn by Irving on the blackboard and opinioned that the siphon system instilled in li57 is taking water out of the pond too fast and draws the water too low.

Claiming that they no longer have water protection from Berlin Pond because of marshy and muddy conditions in the lower pond, Eastman opened the meeting by asking thnt Montpelier have the dam repaired. The town's demands were increased bv Attv. Parker who said that not only should the dam he repaired, but a cut-off should be installed at the barrier be-j twecn the two ponds. He explained that this cut-off or sill, could be used drv limes when the siphon Mom draws heavily on the npocr pond to keep the low fr i pond from running hack into the upner one.

Agreed Repairs Needed Aldermen Pierce, Manuel Canas and Joseph Abair were in agreement that the dam should be repaired.

Colburn scored a triumph Thursday night in his continuing battle against City Manager Ralph Irving when he publicly sided with the town of Berlin against the manager in its con-tit)versy with Montpelier over Berlin Pond and when he finally was joined by Alderman Leslie Pierce. The discussion ended on a warning note, however, as Alderman Willard Strong declared he would refuse to go along with Pieive's suggestion for an informal meeting of the council with (he Berlin Selectmen unless the city manager was included. Alderman Pierce brought the lengthy discussion between council members and selectmen to an abrupt end when he asserted that he was sick and tired of this haggling and want ed to make a motion that "we get toghether on the spot (Berlin Pond and discuss this thing man to i He then surprised everyone byj demanding the presence of the mayor who had abruptly vanish-; ed from the council chamber several minutes before.

Parker appealed to the council from a human and neighborly point of view, pointing out that both the selecimen and the aldermen are legislative bodies representing tlieir respective towns. He also pointed out that Montpelier may have to supplement its water supply in future years, as the demand for water is increasing here jus! as it is in all other communities. Manager Irving refuted i statement on demands for water, saying that since the installation of the siphon system, the city has used from 2 3 to 2.8 million gallons a day in comparion to over 3 million daily before 1957.
