Any such revenue bonds may be issued in part for the purpose of redeeming bonds of the authority or of the city heretofore issued to finance parking facilities of the authority or for the purpose of reimbursing the city for money advanced by the city to the authority.

The board of aldermen shall determine the form of the bonds, including any interest coupons to be attached thereto, and the manner of execution of the bonds and shall fix the denomination or denominations of the bonds and the place or 1967] OF CONNECTICUT 95 SP.

places of payment of principal and interest, which may be at any bank or trust company within or without the state. All bonds issued under the provisions of this act shall be negoti­ able instruments within the meaning of the general statutes. Such bonds may be sold in such manner and for such price as said board may determine to be for the best interest of the city of New Haven, but no such sale shall be made at a price so low as to require the payment of interest on the money re­ ceived therefor at more than six per cent per annum, computed with relation to the absolute maturity or maturities of the bonds in accordance with standard tables of bond values, ex­ cluding from such computation the amount of any premium to be paid on redemption of any bonds prior to maturity. (c) Revenue bonds issued under the provisions of this act shall not constitute a pledge of the faith and credit of the city of New Haven. Said bonds and the interest thereon shall be pay­ able solely from the income derived from said parking facilities and, to the extent and in the manner provided in the vote authorizing said bonds, revenues derived from on-street parking meters and appropriations from the general funds of the city of New Haven and such bonds shall contain on the face there­ of a statement to that effect. (d) The vote authorizing the issuance of said revenue bonds shall pledge the revenues to be received from said parking facilities for which such bonds are issued. Such vote may also provide, subject to any agreement with bondholders, for the pledging of revenues from other parking facilities and for the pledging of on-street parking meter revenues. Such vote to fur­ ther effectuate the provisions of this act may contain a cove­ nant with bondholders to maintain substantially the existing on-street parking meters and to collect the fees imposed in connection therewith. Such vote may also contain a covenant with bondholders to make annual appropriations, in amounts to be determined or limited as provided in such vote, which appropriations shall be pledged to the payment of said bonds and the interest thereon as the same become due. Such vote may also provide for mortgaging such parking facilities as ad­ ditional security, and may contain such provisions for protect­ ing and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bondholders as may be reasonable and proper and not in violation of law, including covenants setting forth the duties of the city of New Haven, the board of aldermen and the parking authority in relation to the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, im­ provement, maintenance, operation and insurance of such parking facilities, and provisions for the establishment and maintenance of appropriate sinking funds and reserves, includ­ ing use of a part of the bond proceeds therefor, for the cus­ 96 SPECIAL ACTS [Jan., SP. NO. 88 tody, safeguarding and application of all moneys, and for the employment of necessary personnel. Except as otherwise pro­ vided in this act, the board of aldermen may provide for the payment of the proceeds of the sale of the bonds and the reve­ nues of the parking facilities to such officer, bank, trust com­ pany or other fiscal agent as it may designate for the custody thereof, and for the method of disbursement thereof, with such restrictions as it may determine. All expenses incurred in carrying out the provisions of such vote shall be treated as a part of the cost of operation, provided any engineering, legal, advertising, printing or other cost incurred in relation to park­ ing facilities which are to be financed by the issuance of reve­ nue bonds may be paid from the proceeds of said revenue bonds. SEC. 2. Section 5 of number 8 of the special acts of 1955 is amended to read as follows: Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to prohibit the board of aldermen, in fixing such initial schedule or any revision thereof, to make due allow­ ance for any on-street parking meter revenue or appropriations available for any of such purposes pursuant to the vote au­ thorizing such revenue bonds. SEC. 3. Section 7 of number 473 of the special acts of 1951 is amended to read as follows: Any holder of revenue bonds issued under the provisions of this act or any of the coupons appertaining thereto, except to the extent that the rights here­ in given may be restricted by the authorizing vote, may, either at law or in equity, by suit, action, mandamus or other pro­ ceeding, protect and enforce all his rights under the provisions of the general statutes or under such vote, and may enforce and compel the performance of all duties required by this act or by such ordinance to be performed by the city of New Haven, the board of aldermen, the parking authority or any officer thereof, including the fixing, charging and collecting of rates, rentals, fees and charges for the services and facilities furnished by the parking facility or parking facilities and the making of appropriations pledged to the payment of said bonds and the interest thereon.

AN ACT CONCERNING PENSIONS FOR EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY OF DERBY.

Number 627 of the special acts of 1953 as amended is amended to read as follows: SECTION 1. The following terms, as used in this act, unless a different meaning is plainly required by the context, shall have the following meanings: "Retirement system" shall mean the plan for retirement of city employees as established by this act; "retirement board" and "the board" shall mean the board herein created for the administration of the retirement system; "pension" shall mean a payment made to an employee according to the provisions of this act, other than a return of con­ tributions; "retirement fund" shall mean the fund derived from the contributions made as herein provided for the payment of pensions to city employees retired under this act; "regular in­ terest" shall mean interest at the rate determined from time to time by the retirement board, and shall be substantially that which is earned on the retirement fund, compounded annually on the last day of the fiscal year; "fiscal year" shall mean the twelve months from January first of any year to December thirty-first of the same year, both dates inclusive; "pay" shall mean the salary or wages of an employee for his services to the city. SEC. 2. (a) There shall be a retirement system for the city of Derby, the management of which shall be vested in a retire­ ment board consisting of seven members as follows: The city treasurer; two members of the board of apportionment and tax­ ation, one from each of the two leading political parties; two members of the board of aldermen, one from each of the two leading political parties; one officer of the police department, to be elected by the members of the police department; and one member of the street department, to be elected by the em­ ployees of the street department and all other employees covered by this act. The members of the retirement board from the city boards shall be appointed by the mayor. All mem­ bers shall be elected or appointed for a term of two years, and the term of each member shall continue until his successor is elected or appointed and has aualified. In no event shall any person remain a member of said board except during the time he continues to hold his public office or to be a member of the board or body from which he was appointed or elected. The 1967] OF CONNECTICUT 127 SP. NO. 138 members of the retirement board shall annually select a chair­ man from the membership of said board. The members of the retirement board shall serve without compensation, (b) The city treasurer shall be the treasurer of the retirement fund. Said retirement board shall be trustee thereof and shall have full control and management of all its securities and assets, with f>ower to invest and reinvest the same in accordance with the aws of the state governing the investment of trust funds. The retirement board shall submit annually to the board of appor­ tionment and taxation of the city of Derby a schedule of esti­ mated appropriations of money necessary for the administration of this act, and it shall receive, control, manage and expend all of said fund, according to the provisions of this act, includ­ ing any moneys contributed by employees, with the same powers of investment and reinvestment as are herein provided. Said board shall determine the eligibility of an employee for a pension, his rights, and the rights of the city under this act; shall make by-laws and regulations not inconsistent with the law for administration of this act, and shall do all things neces­ sary and proper toward carrying out the purposes for which the retirement system is created. The board may hire and dismiss employees necessary for the proper administration of this act and fix their compensation, and may engage expert actuarial, auditing, clerical or medical service when deemed advisable by the retirement board. All expenses so incurred shall be paid by the city. SEC. 3. The terms of this act shall apply to all regular full- time employees of the city of Derby who are eligible under the provisions of this section, but it shall not apply to elected officials nor to employees covered by the state teachers' retire­ ment system nor to teachers who were at any time eligible for membership therein. The retirement board may adopt appro­ priate rules and regulations to determine those who are regular and full-time employees within the meaning of this act. Each eligible employee in the service of the city on July 1, 1953, .shall be required to participate in the retirement system so long as he remains eligible therefor, as a condition of his continued employment by the city, such participation to commence on July 1, 1953, unless, prior to said date, such employee notifies the board in writing of his intention not to participate in the system, in which event he shall not thereafter be admitted to the retirement system. On and after January 1, 1967, each eligible employee who enters the service of the city shall, at the end of the first six months of employment, be required to participate in the retirement system, and such participation shall be a condition of his continued employment, as long as 128 SPECIAL ACTS [Jan., SP. NO. 138 he remains eligible therefor, such participation to be effective on the first day of the calendar month following the completion of six months of service with the city, provided such employee shall not have attained the age of fifty years on or before said effective date of participation. The retirement board may adopt rules and regulations relating to the participation in the retire­ ment system of all employees whose active service may be sus­ pended on account of military service, authorized leave of absence or any cause acceptable to the retirement board; pro­ vided such rules or regulations shall be approved by a majority vote of the board of aldermen of the city to become effective. SEC. 4. The city of Derby shall be liable to the retirement board for such an amount on account of future pensions repre­ senting service of employees covered by this act rendered prior to the inception of the retirement system as shall be determined by the board on sound actuarial principles. In lieu of full pay­ ment initially of such an amount, the city shall pay periodically such amounts as the retirement board determines as necessary to discharge such liability over a definite period not exceeding thirty years; provided in no fiscal year shall the payment made on this account be less than regular interest on the amount of such liability still outstanding; and provided further that any unfunded pension credits existing as of January 1, 1967, shall be financed over a period not exceeding thirty years from said date. The city shall also pay annually to the retirement board such amounts as are determined by the retirement board on sound actuarial principles to be necessary, in addition to con­ tributions of the employees, to provide future pensions on ac­ count of service rendered by employees subsequent to the date upon which each shall begin participation in the retirement system. SEC. 5. The uniform rates of contribution to be made by all employees participating in the retirement system shall be determined by the retirement board from time to time, but shall at no time exceed five per cent of pay. Such contributions shall be collectible from employees as deductions from pay and transmitted immediately to the retirement board. In the event of the discontinuance of a member's employment by the city, the board shall pay to him an amount equal to his con­ tributions under this section plus regular interest thereon com­ pounded annually. In the event of the death of any member prior to the effective date of his retirement, an amount equal to his contributions under this section plus regular interest thereon compounded annually shall be paid by the board either to such beneficiary as he may have designated in writing and filed with the retirement board or, in the event that no such 1967] OF CONNECTICUT 129 SP. NO. 138 beneficiary has been designated, such sum shall become a part of his estate; or, at the death of an employee subsequent to the effective date of his retirement, the amount of any excess of his accumulated contributions as of the effective date of his retirement over pension payments made thereafter to him shall be disbursed by the retirement board in the same way. SEC. 6. Any member of the retirement system who has completed twenty-five years of service as an employee of the city of Derby and attained the age of sixty years, or who, sub­ sequent to December 31, 1966, has completed fifteen years of such service and attained the age of sixty-five years, shall be eligible for retirement for superannuation under the provisions of this act. Any member so eligible may retire from service by filing with the retirement board a written statement duly attested and setting forth at what time subsequent to the date of filing thereof, but not later than sixty days subsequent to such date, he desires to be retired; or the retirement board may at its option retire any member so eligible for retirement by furnishing him written notice thereof at least sixty days in advance of the specified date of such retirement. All mem­ bers of the retirement system who have attained the age of sixty-five shall be retired on the day following the attainment of said age, except that any such employee may be continued in service for stipulated periods at the discretion of the retire­ ment board, but in no case after the attainment of the age of sixty-eight; provided that, with respect to employees in service on January 1, 1967, or employed after said date, such service rendered after age sixty-five shall constitute credited service for the purposes of this plan, and members so continued in service shall continue to pay employee contributions for such term of employment. Any member of the retirement sys­ tem who, after fifteen years of continuous service as an em­ ployee of the city, shall be totally and permanently disabled, except as a result of his own wilful misconduct, from earning compensation at any substantially gainful employment, may be retired for disability according to the provisions of this act; provided proof of total disability shall be submitted to the retirement board which shall cause examinations to be made by at least two impartial medical examiners; and pro­ vided such total disability, if shown to the satisfaction of the board to have been sustained during the performance of es­ sential duties pertaining to his employment by the city, shall entitle any member to retirement for disability irrespective of the duration of his employment. "Continuous service" for the purpose of this section shall mean uninterrupted employment; but absence from employment for any reason, followed by 130 SPECIAL ACTS [Jan., SP. NO. 138 reinstatement within one year thereafter, shall not be con­ sidered as breaking the continuity of the service. In the case of absence from employment for more than one year, the re­ tirement board shall determine the period within which the employee may return without breaking the continuity of his service. Reinstatement of an employee in the retirement system shall be conditioned upon such medical examination as the board may prescribe and upon payment to the retirement fund of contributions previously withdrawn together with such an amount as will establish the proper actuarial reserve for that portion of the pension reinstated, which was represented by the contributions previously withdrawn. In computing years of service to determine eligibility of a member for retirement, no year shall be included in which the employee has not been in actual service for at least nine months. Time spent in the armed forces of the United States in time of war by any mem­ ber of the retirement system, or any person who would other­ wise be eligible for membership hereunder, shall be included in computing the length of time of service rendered to the city, provided such person shall apply for and qualify for re-employment by the city of Derby in accordance with the terms of the national service act or any amendment thereto. In computing the length of service rendered to the city, the time spent by a supernumerary policeman on active regular duty prior to his appointment as a regular member of the police department shall be included, except that three years' service as a supernumerary officer, including a minimum of three hun­ dred hours of actual service during said period, shall be equiva­ lent to not more than one year of service as a regular police­ man. SEC. 7. (a) The retirement board shall pay to each mem­ ber who has been retired for superannuation under this act subsequent to December 31, 1966, a pension for life in an amount equal to the sum of five-sixths of one per cent of the first six thousand six hundred dollars of average annual pay received during the five years of service immediately preced­ ing his retirement plus one and two-thirds per cent of such average annual pay in excess of six thousand six hundred dollars multiplied by the number of completed years of service. The retirement board shall pay to each member who has been retired for disability according to the provisions of this act subsequent to December 31, 1966, a pension during the continuance of such disability in an amount equal to the sum of five-sixths of one per cent of the first six thousand six hundred dollars of average annual pay received during the five years of service immediately preceding his retirement plus one 1967] OF CONNECTICUT 131 SP. NO. 138 and two-thirds per cent of such average annual pay in excess of six thousand six hundred dollars multiplied by the number of completed years of service; provided the board may, from time to time, call for medical evidence relative to whether the em­ ployee continues to be totally disabled. If the board concludes on the basis of such medical evidence that the disability for which the employee is receiving a pension no longer exists, or if it is established that such employee is engaged in a sub­ stantially gainful occupation, the board shall order a discontin­ uance of the pension payable to such employee. Pension pay­ ments shall be made on the basis of completed months of retirement and shall become due and payable to the persons entitled thereto on the last day of each calendar month, except that (1) the initial pension payment to a retired member shall be computed as the proportion of the amount of his regular monthly pension corresponding to the fraction of the month elapsed since the effective date of his retirement, and (2) upon the death of a retired member, the final pension payment shall be computed as the proportion of the amount of his regular monthly pension corresponding to the fraction of the month elapsed from the first day of the month to the day of death in said month. No pension payable to a member on account of total and permanent disability sustained during the perform­ ance of essential duties pertaining to employment by the city shall be less than one-half the annual rate of pay received by the disabled employee at the time of his disability. Notwith­ standing anything in this act to the contrary, no pension pay­ able to an employee who was a member of the retirement system on December 31, 1966, shall be less than it would have been if computed pursuant to the provisions of sections 7 and 8 of number 627 of the special acts of 1953 as amended prior to the effective date of this act. (b) The retirement board shall pay to each employee eligible for a pension and retired before January 1, 1967, a sum of twenty-five dollars per month, pay­ able from the month of January, 1967, in addition to any pen­ sion benefits received by such person pursuant to any other special act. SEC. 8. Any person eligible to receive a pension pursuant to this act who is retired after December 31, 1962, shall receive such pension without deduction for any social security pay­ ment for which such person may be eligible pursuant to the federal social security act. With respect to persons retired before said date, the provisions of section 8 of number 627 of the special acts of 1953 shall apply. SEC. 9. An amount equal to all moneys received by any 132 SPECIAL ACTS [Jan., SP. NO. 139 member as an award payable by the city under the workmen's compensation act shall be deducted from any concurrent pay­ ments provided under the act. SEC. 10. No action for amounts due under the provisions of this act shall be brought but within three years after the right of action has accrued. Any person legally incapable of bringing an action when the right accrues may sue at any time within three years after he becomes legally capable of instituting suit. All amounts not claimed within said period shall remain abso­ lutely a part of the retirement fund. SEC. 11. The right of any person to a pension or the return of contributions, any benefit or right accrued or accruing to any person under the provisions of this act, and the cash and securities held under this act, shall be exempt from any state or municipal tax, levy and sale, garnishment, attachment, or any other process whatsoever, and shall be unassignable. SEC. 12. The retirement board shall, on or before Novem­ ber first of each year, file with the board of apportionment and taxation an annual report showing the financial condition of the retirement system as of the end of the last-completed fiscal year, including an actuarial valuation of assets and liabilities, and setting forth such other facts, recommendations and data as may be of value to the members of the retirement system and of the city of Derby.

The bonds of each issue shall be dated, shall bear interest at such rate or rates not exceeding five per cent per annum, shall mature at such time or times not exceeding twenty-five years from their date, and may be made redeemable before maturity at such price or prices, and under such terms and conditions, as is provided by the legislative body prior to the issuance of such bonds. The common council shall determine the form of bonds, including any interest coupons to be attached thereto, and the manner of execution of the bonds, and shall fix the denomina­ tion or denominations of the bonds and the place or places of payment of principal and interest, which may be at any bank or trust company within the state. All bonds issued under the provisions of this act shall be negotiable instruments under the provisions of the general statutes. Such bonds may be sold in such manner and for such price as is determined to be for the best interests of the municipality, but no such sale shall be made at a price so low as to require the payment of interest on the money received therefor at more than five per cent per annum, computed with relation to the absolute maturity or maturities of the bonds in accordance with standard tables of bond values, excluding from such computation the amount of any premium to be paid on redemption of any bonds prior to maturity. (b) Revenue bonds issued under the provisions of this act 1967] OF CONNECTICUT 205 SP. NO. 215 shall not constitute a pledge of the faith and credit of the city of Norwalk, but shall be payable as to principal and interest solely from the funds provided therefor from revenues under the provisions of this act and shall contain on the face thereof a statement to that effect; and such bonds shall not be subject to the debt limitation prescribed by section 7-374 of the general statutes. (c) The ordinance authorizing the issuance of revenue bonds under the provisions of this special act shall pledge the revenues to be received from the parking facility or parking facilities for which such bonds are issued. Such ordinance may also pledge off-street or on-street parking meter revenues, or both, for such purpose and may further provide for mortgaging such parking facility or parking facilities as additional security, and may contain such provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bondholders as may be reason­ able and proper and not in violation of law, including cov­ enants setting forth the duties of the city of Norwalk, of the common council and of the parking authority in relation to the construction, improvement, maintenance, repair, operation and insurance of the parking facility or parking facilities, and pro­ visions for the custody, safeguarding and application of all moneys and for the employment of necessary personnel. Except as otherwise provided in this special act, the common council may provide for the payment of the proceeds of the sale of the bonds and the revenues of the parking facility or parking facili­ ties to such officer, board or depositary as it designates for the custody thereof, and for the method of disbursement thereof, with such restrictions as it determines. All expenses incurred in carrying out the provisions of such ordinance may be treated as a part of the cost of operation. (d) The ordinance providing for the issuance of revenue bonds may also contain such limitations upon the issuance of additional revenue bonds as the common council deems proper. SEC. 8. All rights of any holder of revenue bonds issued under the terms of the special act prior to the effective date of these amendments are expressly validated and shall continue in full force and effect. SEC. 9. Any holder of revenue bonds issued under the pro­ visions of this special act or of any of the coupons appertaining thereto, except to the extent that the rights herein given may be restricted by the authorizing ordinance, may, either at law or in equity, by suit, action, mandamus or other proceeding, protect and enforce all rights under the provisions of the gen­ eral statutes or under such ordinance, and may enforce and compel the performance of all duties required by this act or by 206 SPECIAL ACTS [Jan., SP. NO. 216 such ordinance to be performed by the city of Norwalk, the common council, the parking authority or any officer thereof, including the fixing, charging and collecting of rates, rentals, fees and charges for the services and facilities furnished by the parking facility or parking facilities. SEC. 10. Revenue bonds issued under the provisions of this special act, their transfer and the income therefrom, including any profit made on the sale thereof, shall at all times be free from taxation within the state. SEC. 11. All moneys received under the provisions of this act shall be deemed to be trust funds, to be held and applied as provided in this special act. The ordinance authorizing the issuance of revenue bonds shall provide that any officer to whom, or bank, trust company or other fiscal agent to which, such moneys are paid shall act as trustee of such moneys and shall hold and apply the same for the purposes hereof, subject to such regulations as this special act and such ordinance provide. SEC. 12. The property of the authority shall be exempt from taxation. The authority may invest temporarily in direct obligations of the United States of America such portion of the proceeds received from the sale of bonds or other funds as is deemed available for such purpose.

Appeals from the rulings of said building inspectors may be taken to the board of di­ rectors. Property owners seeking approval of such plans shall pay a fee of one dollar at the time such approval is given. Failure to build to plans as approved shall constitute a viola­ tion of bylaws and regulations of said association, and the 1967] OF CONNECTICUT 267 SP. NO. 271 board of directors may petition any court having jurisdiction to direct the demolition of that part of the structure erected contrary to such approved plans and the erection in lieu thereof of the building conforming to the approved plans or seek other remedies as may be provided by law.

Said authority shall have all powers granted and duties pre­ scribed in this act and may exercise the powers granted under chapter 102 of the general statutes insofar as the water supply system of said town is concerned and may exercise the powers of chapter 103 of the general statutes insofar as the sewer sys­ tem of said town is concerned. SEC. 2.

NO. 354 in the town of Sprague, at such time and on such terms as a duly called town meeting may determine, and thereafter (1) to sell to any other person any or all of the franchises, property and equipment purchased or used by it in connection with its municipal water supply system at such time or times and on such terms as said town meeting may determine, and (2) to operate, maintain, improve and extend the same and to have and operate a municipal water supply system with power to furnish water for household, fire, ana other purposes inside the territorial limits of the town of Sprague. SEC. 3. If said authority is unable to purchase the fran­ chises, property and equipment of the company named in sec­ tion 1 of this act or such part thereof as said authority deems necessary for the water supply system or other municipal pur­ pose, or is unable to agree with the owners thereof as to the compensation to be paid therefor, said authority may acquire the same by condemnation and may proceed to determine the compensation to be paid in the manner provided for determin­ ing the compensation to be paid for property taken for a mu­ nicipal sewerage system in chapter 103 of the general statutes. Other property which said authority deems necessary for the water supply system may be acquired and paid for in like manner. SEC. 4. The town of Sprague is authorized to issue its gen­ eral obligation bonds and notes subject to the applicable pro­ visions of law and to defray the cost of any such purchase or other acquisition and the cost of capital improvements required in connection with said water supply system. Such bonds may be issued in one or more series, and shall be serial in form, maturing in substantially equal annual instalments.

SEC. 5. If said authority acquires the franchise and all or part of the property and equipment of the Baltic Water Com­ pany, the management and control of all the properties and equipment of the town's water supply system and all sales, maintenance and other matters or things connected with said water supply system shall be administered by said authority.

Such rates or charges, if not paid when due, shall constitute a lien upon the premises served and a charge against the owners thereof, which lien and charge shall bear interest at the same rate as would unpaid taxes. Such lien shall take precedence over all other liens or encumbrances ex­ cept taxes and may be foreclosed against the lot or building served in the same manner as a lien for taxes.

AN ACT AUTHORIZING THE TOWN OF WESTERLY, RHODE ISLAND, THROUGH THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMISSIONERS, TO CONSTRUCT, MAINTAIN, OPERATE, EXTEND, AND MAKE ASSESSMENTS FOR WATER MAINS IN THE PAWCATUCK FIRE DISTRICT IN THE TOWN OF STONINGTON.

SECTION 1. The public works commissioners of the town of Westerly, Rhode Island, may construct, maintain, operate and extend water mains in any of the public streets and highways in the Pawcatuck Fire District in the town of Stonington with the consent and under the direction of the selectmen of the town of Stonington. Such water mains shall not be installed until after a public hearing thereon, duly advertised, has been held by said commissioners. SEC. 2. Whenever any water mains have been constructed and completed, in a size set by the public works commissioners of said town of Westerly, said commissioners shall compute the cost of construction and shall direct an assessment to be made against all property abutting upon that portion of such public street or public highway. The assessments shall be made on a front foot basis and at a standard rate for each jear. The front foot assessment for a given year shall be called 'the base rate," and shall be based on the average cost of all mains over the preceding five years for pipe or mains of similar size. If the cost of such water main is less than an amount computed by multiplying the total assessable frontage by the current rate, each owner shall be given a pro-rata reduction in rate. If the 1967] OF CONNECTICUT 433 SP. NO. 355 cost exceeds such amount, no more than the current base rate shall be assessed. The individual owner's cost shall be the product of the base rate times the number of front feet of his property abutting the street on which the main is laid. Corner lots shall be assessed an amount based upon the shorter front­ age, provided that the longer frontage shall be exempted only to a maximun of two hundred feet. Property benefited by sucn main but not abutting on a public street in which a main is located shall be assessed as if abutting on the street closest to any of its boundaries. SEC. 3. The public works commissioners may provide for the payment of any assessment in substantially equal animal instalments, not exceeding twenty, and may provide for interest charges not exceeding five per cent for any deferred payments, provided the last instalment of any assessment shall be due not later than one year prior to the date of the last maturity of any bonds or notes issued by the municipality to finance the ac- Siisition or construction of any water main system or portion ereof in respect to which the assessment was levied. Any per­ son may pay any instalment for which he is liable at any time prior to the due date thereof and no interest on any such in­ stalment shall be charged beyond the date of such payment. SEC. 4. Any assessment of benefits or any instalment there­ of, not paid within thirty days after the due date, shall be delinquent and shall be subject to interest from such due date at the interest rate and in the manner provided by the general statutes for delinquent property taxes. Each addition of interest shall be collectible as a part of such assessment. Whenever any instalment of an assessment becomes delinquent, all remaining unpaid instalments of such assessment shall also become de­ linquent. Any unpaid assessment and any interest due thereon shall constitute a lien upon the real estate against which the assessment was levied from the date of such levy. Each such lien may be continued, recorded and released in the manner provided by the general statutes for continuing, recording and releasing property tax liens. Each such lien shall take prece­ dence over all other liens and encumbrances except taxes and may be foreclosed in the same manner as property tax liens. The tax collector of the town of Westerly may collect such assessments in accordance with any mandatory provision of the general statutes for the collection of property taxes and the town may recover any such assessment in a civil action against any person liable therefor. Whenever any person has become delinquent in the payment of any instalment and has paid all such past-due instalments together with any interest or other charges, the public works commissioners shall permit such 434 SPECIAL ACTS [Jan., SP. NO. 356 person to pay any remaining instalments without additional penalty, except for subsequent default, in accordance with the original schedule. SEC. 5. The public works commissioners are authorized to make contracts or other arrangements with persons in the busi­ ness of land or land developments. Any land developer desiring to have water mains installed as provided herein shall deposit in advance sufficient funds for construction of said water mains or pipes. The public works commissioners may then install water mains or pipes and upon completion of said installation of water mains shall return all unexpended portion, if any, of the afore­ mentioned deposits. If the cost of installing said water mains exceeds the deposits made in advance, said developers shall pay the excess on demand. In no event shall the public works com­ missioners make a charge for installing said water mains as aforesaid at a price less than the actual cost of installing said water mains. Any contract with any land developer may pro­ vide that such land developers or subcontractors may be au­ thorized to furnish trenches and materials or do other portions of the aforementioned construction. The provisions of section 4 of this act shall apply to all such properties. SEC. 6. This act shall take effect upon its approval by a majority vote of the voters of the Pawcatuck Fire District present and voting at any annual or special meeting of said district.

Said council shall assess against the land and build­ ings found to be specially benefitea and to abut upon the road, street or highway under which a water main is laid a share of the cost of such water main which bears the same ratio to the total cost of such water main extension as the front footage of such lot bears to the total footage of the water main extension. Upon the final completion of the construction of any such water main, said council shall give written notice thereof to the owners of the lands and buildings assessed therefor and that the assessments are due and payable on the date of such notice.

If such owner has elected instalment payments, all unpaid balances shall bear interest at the rate of four per cent per annum, nro- vided any instalment payment which has not been paid within thirty days of its due date shall bear interest at the rate of six per cent per annum from such due date to the date of its pay­ ment.

The tax collector of the town of Plainville may collect such assessments in accordance with any mandatory provision of the general statutes for the collection of property taxes, and the munici­ pality may recover any such assessment in a civil action against any person liable therefor. Whenever any person has become delinquent in the payment of any instalment and has paid all such past-due instalments together with any interest or other charges, the town council shall permit such person to pay any remaining instalments without additional penalty, except for subsequent default, in accordance with the original instalment schedule. SEC. 4. To put into operation any water main extension con­ structed by said town, said council may purchase water from the Plainville Water Company or from any other water supplier. Said council may set the rates to be charged the users of water purchased by it and delivered through mains constructed by it, provided such rates are no higher than necessary to cover the cost of the water, the maintenance of the mains and the admin­ istration of such water supply service and may bill the users of such water and collect such bills in the same manner as any property tax is collected. Any person aggrieved by any charge for connection with or for the use of such a water main may appeal to the court of common pleas for the county or judicial district wherein the municipality is located and shall bring any such appeal to the next return day of said court, or the next but one. The judgment of the court shall be final. SEC. 5.

At such meeting, such proposed tax may be revised by alteration in any manner by the affirmative vote of a majority of registered voting members present. The proposed rate of tax as so revised at said meeting shall be the special municipal real estate tax laid and to be collected. SEC. 7. Whenever the municipality lays a tax pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, the treasurer or his delegate: (1) Shall make out and sign rate bills containing the proportion which each individual is to pay according to the last completed assessment list; (2) shall assign a number to each tax ac­ count and shall mail or hand to each individual from whom taxes are due a bill for the amount of taxes for which such per­ son is liable and shall attach thereto a statement of the year and amount of all back taxes for which such person is liable, but the failure to send or hand out any such bill or statement shall not invalidate the tax; and (3) upon his application, or that of his successor in office, any judge of the circuit court or justice of the peace shall issue a warrant for the collection of any sums due on such rate bills, which warrant shall be in the form pre­ scribed for such purpose by the general statutes. SEC. 8. The date upon which any tax so levied shall be due and payable shall be prescribed in the municipal regulations of the municipality and the municipal regulations may provide for single, semi-annual or quarterly instalment payments and, if so provided, shall prescribe the dates upon which each such in­ stalment shall be due and payable. .SEC. 9. The place at which any tax instalment shall be paid or to which it shall be mailed may be prescribed in the munici­ pal regulations of the municipality.

If any tax due in a single instalment or if any in­ stalment of any tax due in two or more instalments is not paid in full on or before the same date of the next succeeding month corresponding to that of the month on which it became due and payable, the whole or such part of such tax or instalment as is unpaid shall thereupon be delinquent and each remaining un­ paid instalment of such tax, if any, shall become delinquent on the same date as the delinquent instalment and each such re­ 1967] OF CONNECTICUT 473 SP. NO. 380 maining unpaid instalment shall be construed as having become due and payable on, and shall be subject to interest from, the due date of such delinquent instalment. No tax or instalment thereof shall be construed to be delinquent under the provisions of this section if the envelope containing the amount due as such tax or instalment, as received by the treasurer or his dele- ate to whom such tax is payable, bears a postmark showing a ate within the time allowed by statute for the payment of such tax or instalment. SEC. 11. The delinquent portion of the principal of any tax shall be subject to interest at the rate of six per cent per annum from the time when it became due and payable until the same is paid; provided, in any computation of such interest, under any provision of this section, each fractional part of a month, if any, shall be considered to be equivalent to a whole month except that, in case of two or more partial payments of a delin- Sient tax within any period of thirty-one days, no more interest all be charged than would have been due if all or such partial payments had been made in one lump sum on the date of the last such payment. Each addition of interest shall become, and shall be collectible as, a part of such tax. SEC. 12. Except as hereinafter specified for taxes represent­ ing two or more items of property, the treasurer or his delegate shall not receive any partial payment of a delinquent tax which is less than the total accrued interest on the principal of such tax up to the date of payment and shall apply each partial payment to the wiping out of such interest before making any application thereof to the reduction of such principal; pro­ vided, whenever the first partial payment is made after delin­ quency, interest from the due date of such delinquent tax to the date of such partial payment shall be figured on the whole or such part of the principal of such tax as is unpaid at the beginning of delinquency and provided, whenever a sub­ sequent partial payment of such tax is made, interest shall be figured from the date of payment of the last-preceding, to the date of payment of such subsequent, partial payment on the whole or such balance of the principal of such tax as remains unpaid on the date of the last-preceding partial payment. If any tax, at the time of assessment or because of a subsequent division, represents two or more items of property, the treas­ urer or his delegate may receive payment in full of such part of the principal and interest of such tax as represents one or more of such items, even though interest in full on the entire amount of the principal of such tax has not been received up to the date of such payment; in which event, interest on the remaining portion of the principal of any such tax shall be 474 SPECIAL ACTS [Jan., SP. NO. 380 computed, as the case may be, from the due date of such tax if no other payment after delinquency has been made or from the last date of payment of interest in full on the whole amount or unpaid balance of the principal of such delinquent tax if previous payment of interest has been made. SEC. 13. Whenever the municipality has laid a tax pursuant to the provisions of this chapter and a warrant for the collec­ tion thereof has been issued, the treasurer of the municipality or his delegate shall have, for the purpose of collecting such tax and any interest, lien fees or other charges properly added thereto, all the powers conferred by the general statutes upon tax collectors of towns for the collection of property taxes levied by towns.

As a means of so acquiring for such purposes and subject to the approval of the public utilities commission, the authority may purchase all of the stock of any existing privately owned water corporation or water company and thereafter such water corporation or water company shall be dissolved; (e) except for any property or interest in property located outside the district or in the town of Lebanon or for a water supply system the legal title to which is vested in (1) the state or a political subdivision thereof, (2) a private corporation or association using such sys­ tem wholly for its own use, or (3) a private water company serving more than three thousand persons, to acquire by emi­ nent domain such land, interest in land, real estate and other rights, hereinafter called such property, as it may require the purpose of supplying water for domestic, commercial and pub­ lic purposes at retail to individual consumers within the dis­ trict or at wholesale in the manner provided by subdivision (h) of this section, subject to the terms and conditions here­ inafter set forth, provided said corporation shall be held to pay all damages, including responsible legal costs and any moving expenses, that may arise to any person or persons from any such taking. If such authority cannot agree with any owner upon the amount to be paid for any property to be so acquired, said authority may, after ten days' written notice to such owner, petition the superior court for the county in which such prop­ erty is located, or, if such court is not then sitting, any judge of such court, and thereupon said court or such judge shall ap­ point a committee of three disinterested persons, who shall be sworn before commencing their duties. Such committee, after giving reasonable notice to the parties, shall view the property in question, hear the evidence, ascertain the value, assess just damages to the owner or parties interested in the property, and report its doings to said court or such judge. Said court or such judge may accept such report or may reject it for irregular or improper conduct by the committee in the performance of its duties. If the report is rejected, the court or judge shall appoint another committee, who shall proceed in the same man­ ner as did the first committee. If the report is accepted, such acceptance shall have the effect of a judgment in favor of the 1967] OF CONNECTICUT 483 SP. NO. 381 owner of the property against said authority for the amount of such assessment, and, except as otherwise provided by law, execution may issue therefor. Such property shall not be used by such authority until the amount of such assessment has been paid to the party to whom it is due or deposited for his use with the state treasurer and, upon such payment or deposit, such property shall become the property of the authority, pro­ vided no facility or land or interest in land held by an electric, telephone, gas or natural gas company for service to the public shall be acquired unless in lieu of damages an adequate sub­ stitute therefor, approved by the public utilities commission, shall first be provided by and at the expense of the authority. The expenses or costs of any such proceeding shall be taxed by such court or judge and paid by the authority; (f) except as otherwise provided in this act, to construct and develop any water supply system within the district and to purchase land, land easements, rights in land and water rights, the rights of way, in connection therewith within such district; and to own and operate, maintain, repair, improve, reconstruct, enlarge and extend, subject to the provisions of this act, any of its properties acquired or constructed under this act, all of which, together with the acquisition are declared to be public pur­ poses; (g) any provision in any general statute, special act or charter to the contrary notwithstanding, to sell water, however acquired, at retail to individual consumers within the district for domestic, commercial, industrial and public purposes, or at wholesale to any and all municipalities or to privately owned public water supply companies in the district. All contracts for the sale of water shall be binding for a period specified therein. The fact that any municipality has procured or is about to pro­ cure an independent source of water supply shall not prevent such municipality from purchasing water from the authority. The authority may sell any water not needed in such district to any municipality or to any privately owned public water supply company; (h) any provisions in any general statute, special act or charter to the contrary notwithstanding, to purchase water approved by the commissioner of health from any person, pri­ vate corporation or municipality when necessary or convenient for the operation of any water supply system developed by the authority, or when necessary or convenient for resale by the authority under the provisions of subdivision (g) of this sec­ tion; (i) to make bylaws for the management and regulation of its affairs and for the use of its properties and, subject to the provisions of any bond issue, rules for the sale of water and the collection of rents and charges therefor.

SEC. 15. All moneys of the authority from whatever source derived shall be paid to the treasurer of the authority. Said moneys shall be deposited in the first instance by the treasurer in one or more banks or trust companies in one or more special accounts, and each of such special accounts, to the extent the same is not insured, shall be continuously secured by a pledge of direct obligations of the United States or of the state of Connecticut having an aggregate market value exclusive of accrued interest at all times at least equal to the balance on denosit in such account. The trust indenture shall provide that, if at any time the above securities should for any reason prove to be insufficient to meet the payments as they become due and payable, the trustee shall transfer from any other sources to said funds any such amounts as may be required 1967] OF CONNECTICUT 485 SP. No. 381 to meet such deficiencies. All banks and trust companies are authorized to give such security for such deposits. The moneys in said account shall be paid out on the warrant or other order of the chairman of the authority, or of such other person or persons as the authority may authorize to execute such war­ rants or order. SEC. 16. (a) The authority shall have the power and is authorized from time to time to issue its negotiable bonds for any of its corporate purposes, including incidental expenses in connection therewith, and to secure the payment of the same by a lien or pledge covering all or part of its contracts, earn­ ings or revenues. The authority shall have power from time to time, whenever it deems refunding expedient, to refund any bonds by the issuance of new bonds within the terms of any refunding provisions of its bonds, whether the bonds to be refunded have or have not matured, and may issue bonds partly to refund bonds then outstanding and partly for any of its corporate purposes. Except as may be otherwise expressly provided by the authority, every issue of bonds by the author­ ity shall be preferred obligations, taking priority over all other claims against the authority, and payable out of any moneys, earnings or revenues of the authority, subject only to any agreements with the holders of particular bonds pledging any particular moneys, earnings or revenues. Notwithstanding the fact that the bonds may be payable from a special fund, if they are otherwise of such form and character as to be negotiable instruments under the terms of the uniform commercial code, the bonds shall be negotiable instruments within the meaning of and for all the purposes of the uniform commercial code, subject only to the provisions of the bonds for registration, (b) The bonds shall be authorized by resolution of the au­ thority and shall bear such date or dates, mature at such time or times, not exceeding forty years from their respective dates, bear interest at such rates per annum, not exceeding statutory limitations, payable at such times, be in such denomination, be in such form, either coupon or registered, carry such regis­ tration privileges, be executed in such manner, be payable in lawful money of the United States of America, at such place or places, and be subject to such terms of redemption as such resolution or resolutions may provide. All bonds of the author­ ity shall be sold through a negotiated sale or a public sale upon sealed bids to the bidder who shall offer the lowest net interest cost to the authority, to be determined by the author­ ity. The notice of sale shall be published at least once, not less than ten nor more than forty days before the date of sale, in a financial newspaper circulated in the state of Connecticut and the city of New York and designated by the authority. The 486 SPECIAL ACTS [Jan.? Sp. NO. 381 notice shall call for the receipt of sealed bids and shall fix the date, time and place of sale, (c) Any resolution or resolutions authorizing any bonds or any issue of bonds may contain pro­ visions which shall be a part of the contract with the holders of the bonds thereby authorized as to (1) pledging all or any part of the moneys, earnings, income and revenues derived from all or any part of the properties of the authority to secure the payment of the bonds or of any issue of the bonds subject to such agreement with the bondholders as may then exist; (2) the rates, rentals, fees and other charges to be fixed and collected and the amounts to be raised in each year thereby, and the use and disposition of the earnings and other revenues; (3) the setting aside of reserves and the creation of sinking funds and the regulation and disposition thereof; (4) limitations on the right of the authority to restrict and regulate the use of the properties in connection with which such bonds are issued; (5) limitations on the purposes to which, and the man­ ner in which, the proceeds of sale of any issue of bonds may be applied; (6) limitations on the issuance of additional bonds, the terms upon which additional bonds may be issued and secured, and the refunding of outstanding or other bonds; (7) the procedure, if any, by which the terms of any contract with bondholders may be amended or abrogated, the amount of bonds the holders of which must consent thereto, and the manner in which such consent may be given; (8) the creation of special funds into which any earnings or revenues of the authority may be deposited; (9) the terms and provisions of any trust deed or indenture securing the bonds or under which bonds may be issued; (10) defining the acts or omission to act which shall constitute a default in the obligations and duties of the authority to the bondholders and providing the rights and remedies of the bondholders in the event of such default, including as a matter of right the appointment of a receiver, provided such rights and remedies shall not be inconsistent with the general laws of this state; (11) limitations on the power of the authority to sell or otherwise dispose of its prop­ erties; (12) any other matters, of like or different character, which in any way affect the security or protection of the bonds; (13) limitations on the amount of moneys derived from the properties to be expended for operating administrative or other expenses of the authority. (d) It is the intention of the legislature that any pledge of earnings, revenues or other moneys made by the authority shall be valid and binding from the time when the pledge is made; that the earnings, revenues or other moneys so pledged and thereafter received by the authority shall immediately be subject to the lien of 1967] OF CONNECTICUT 487 SP. NO. 381 such pledge without any physical delivery thereof or further act, and that the lien of any such pledge shall be valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise against the authority irrespective of whether such parties have notice thereof. Neither the resolu­ tion nor any other instrument by which a pledge is created need be recorded, (e) Neither the members of the authority nor any person executing the bonds shall be liable personally on the bonds or be subject to any personal liability or account­ ability by reason of the issuance thereof, (f) The authority shall have the power out of any funds available to purchase, as distinguished from the power of redemption above pro­ vided, any bonds issued by it at a price of not more than the principal amount thereof and accrued interest, and all such bonds shall be canceled, (g) In the discretion of the author­ ity, the bonds may be secured by a trust indenture by and between the authority and a corporate trustee, which may be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust com­ pany. Such trust indenture may contain such provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bond­ holders as may be reasonable and proper and not in violation of any law, including covenants setting forth the duties of the authority in relation to the construction, maintenance, opera­ tion, repair and insurance of the properties, and the custody, safeguarding and application of all moneys, and may provide that the properties shall be constructed and paid ror under the supervision and approval of consulting engineers. The authority may provide by such trust indenture or other de­ pository for the methods of disbursement thereof, with such safeguards and restrictions as it may determine. All expenses incurred in carrying out such trust indenture may be treated as part of the cost of maintenance, operation and repairs of the properties. If the bonds are secured by a trust indenture, bond­ holders shall have no authority to appoint a separate trustee to represent them. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this act, any resolution or resolutions authorizing bonds or notes of the authority shall contain a covenant by the authority that it will at all times maintain rates, fees, rentals or other charges sufficient to pay, and that any contracts entered into by the authority for the sale and distribution of water shall contain rates, fees, rentals or other charges sufficient to pay, the cost of operation and maintenance of the properties, the principal of and interest on any obligation issued pursuant to such reso­ lution or resolutions as the same severally become due and payable, and to maintain any reserves or other funds required by the terms of such resolution or resolutions. SEC. 17. The authority shall have the power and is author­ 488 SPECIAL ACTS [Jan., SP. NO. 381 ized to issue negotiable bond anticipation notes and may renew the same from time to time, but the maximum maturity of any such note, including renewals thereof, shall not exceed five years from date of issue of such original note. Such notes shall be paid from any moneys of the authority available therefor and not otherwise pledged, or from the proceeds of the sale of the bonds of the authority in anticipation of which they were issued. The notes shall be issued in the same manner as the bonds and such notes and the resolution or resolutions author­ izing the same may contain any provisions, conditions or limi­ tations which the bonds or a bond resolution of the authority may contain. Such notes may be sold at public or private sale at not less than par and shall bear interest at a rate not ex­ ceeding five per cent per annum. Such notes shall be as fully negotiable as the bonds of the authority. SEC. 18. The authority, subject to any limitation on the amount of revenues available to be expended for such pur­ poses, and subject to engineering and financial feasibility studies, shall plan, operate and maintain a water supply system and, where necessary, construct water supply systems for the Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region. In no event is this act to be construed as requiring the authority to construct a water supply system in any area where expected revenues would not meet the expected expenditure for construction and operation of such a water supply system, provided, on the writ­ ten request of the city council of the city of Groton, for the provision of water, said authority shall immediately proceed to establish a source of water supply for said city which will provide not less than four million gallons of water per day and shall connect such source to the water supply system of said city, the cost of such establishment and connection to be borne by said authority. SEC. 19. The state of Connecticut does pledge to and agree with the holders of the bonds or notes that the state will not limit or alter the rights vested in the authority to acquire, con­ struct, maintain, operate, reconstruct and improve the proper­ ties, to establish and collect the revenues, rates, rentals, fees and other charges referred to in this act and to fulfill the terms of any agreements made with the holders of the bonds or notes, or in any way imoair the rights and remedies of the bond­ holders or noteholders until the bonds or notes together with interest thereon, interest on any unpaid instalments of interest and all costs and expenses in connection with any action or proceeding by or on behalf of the bondholders or noteholders are fully met and discharged. 1967] OF CONNECTICUT 489 SF.

The bonds are also made securities which may be deposited with and may be received by all public officers and bodies of this state and all municipalities and municipal subdivisions for any purpose for which the deposit of bonds or other obligations of this state is now or may be authorized. SEC. 22. It is determined and declared that the creation of the authority and the carrying out of its corporate purposes is in all respects for the benefit of the people of the state of Connecticut, and it is a public purpose, and the authority shall be regarded as performing a governmental function in the exercise of the powers conferred upon it by this act and shall not be required to pay taxes or assessments upon any of the properties acquired by it or under its jurisdiction or control or supervision or upon its activities, provided in lieu of such taxes or assessments the authority shall make annual payments to any municipality in which it owns land. Such payments shall equal the amount of taxes that would be payable on the authority's land at the current tax rate and rules governing assessment and under the classification of Grade A farm land. SEC. 23. The state of Connecticut covenants with the pur­ chasers and with all subsequent holders and transferees of bonds or notes issued by the authority pursuant to this act, in consideration of the acceptance of and payment for the bonds or notes, that the bonds and notes of the authority issued pursuant to this act and the income therefrom, and all 490 special acts [Jan., SP.

The authority annually shall file a report with the public utilities commission outlining the authority's organ­ ization, its financial position for the completed year, its physi­ cal plant, the amount, location and nature of its water sales, and its wholesale and retail rates. The public utilities commis­ sion shall publish such report in its own annual report. SEC. 25.

Such contracts or orders for work, material or supplies needed for any particular purpose in­ volving an expenditure of more than two thousand dollars shall be awarded only after inviting sealed bids or proposals. The notice inviting sealed bids or proposals shall be published at least once in a newspaper or trade paper selected by the au­ thority for such purpose, such publication to be at least ten , days before the receipt pf bids. If the authority shall not deem it for the interest of the authority to reject all bids, it shall award the contract to the lowest bidder, unless the authority shall determine that it is for the public interest that a bid other than the lowest bid should be accepted. In any contract for 19671 OF CONNECTICUT 491 SP. NO. 381 work, material or supplies there shall be inserted at the dis­ cretion of the authority a provision that additional work may be done or material or supplies furnished for the purpose of completing such contract at any expense not exceeding fifteen per cent of the amount of such contract if such additional work, materials or supplies shall be ordered by the authority. The bidder whose bid is accepted shall give security for the faithful performance of the contract and such other security for such other purposes as the authority may require and may be re- quirea to maintain for such period as snail be stipulated any construction done under the contract, all in the manner pre­ scribed and required by the authority; and the sufficiency of such security shall, in addition to the justification and acknowl­ edgement, be approved by the authority. All bids or proposals shall be publicly opened by the authority or its duly author­ ized agent. If the bidder whose bid has been accepted after advertising neglects or refuses to accept the contract within the period of time established in the advertisement for bids after written notice that the same has been awarded to him on his bid or proposal, or if he accepts but does not execute the con­ tract and give proper security, the authority may declare his deposit forfeited and it shall be readvertised and relet as above provided. In case any work shall be abandoned by any con­ tractor, the authority may, if the best interests of the authority be served, compel the surety to carry out the terms of the con­ tract for which it has given security or the authority may adopt on behalf of the authority any or all subcontracts made by such contractor for such work and all such subcontractors shall be bound by such adoption if made, and the authority shall, in the manner provided herein, readvertise and relet the work speci­ fied in the original contract exclusive of so much thereof as shall be provided for in the subcontract or subcontracts so adopted.

SEC. 29. Nothing in this act shall preclude the right of the authority to enter into contracts and agreements with city, town or private water companies or associations concerning the retail sale and delivery of water. SEC. 30. If the authority desires to sell any of its real assets, it shall first allow the state of Connecticut the right to pur­ chase the same at the price and on the terms offered therefor by a bona fide purchaser for value. If the state does not exer­ cise this right of first refusal, such real assets shall be offered to the municipality wherein the same are located at the same price and terms. If both the state and such municipality do not exercise this right of refusal, the authority shall be free to offer the same to a bona fide purchaser for value. SEC. 31. The state bond commission may insure in the name of the state and may make advance commitments to insure any sums borrowed by the authority not exceeding in the aggregate one million dollars for the purpose of provid­ ing working capital and organizational funds for the authority.

NO. 382 visions of this section shall be repaid to the lender or lenders of the same out of the proceeds of the first series of bonds of the authority, and, in any event, within six years of the effec­ tive date of this act. SEC. 32. The authority may construct water supply systems under or through any public highway or street, public park or reservation or other public property if the method of such construction and the plans and specifications therefor have been approved by the authority having jurisdiction over the maintenance of such public highway or street, public park or reservation or other public property. SEC. 33. The sum of two hundred fifty thousand dollars is appropriated for the purpose of providing working capital and organizational funds for the authority, which amount shall be repaid to the state out of the proceeds of the first series bonds of the authority and within six years of the effective date of this act.

Insofar as the provisions of this act are incon­ sistent with the provisions of any other act, general or special, or any local law of any municipality, the provisions of this act shall be controlling. Nothing contained in this act shall be held to alter or abridge the powers and duties of the state department of health or of the water resources commission over water supply matters.
