In a shocking turn of events, the city of Putnam, Connecticut, has been rocked to the core by a scandalous vote on the water works situation. On August 1, 1929, a special city meeting was held at the Municipal building, where a total of 729 votes were cast. The outcome was a resounding 169 votes in favor of the plan proposed by Mayor Richard, the common council, and the board of water commissioners to alleviate the fire hazard plaguing the city.
