The report that John Forsythe was to
leave Fairfield was an error.
NJ. S. Austin of Bridgeport has been
awarded the contract for putting in
sewer at Fairfield, from the corner at
the Flint place past the post Office to
point opposite the school house, where
1t will empty into the drain put down by
Frederick Sturges. Eight inch vitrified
pipe is to be used and about 1900 feet will
be required. This is being done in re-
Spouse to petition presented to the Sc
lectmen some time ago, setting forth the
grievances caused by large pool of wa
ter Mt this corner, which gathered there
because of no outlet. The sewer will
prove great convenience. Consider
able blasting will be required, particu-
larry on the part between the post office
and Flint's corner. The grade is IA
inches in each 100 feet. or about two and
a half feet for the whole. A catch basin
will be put in at each end and another
may be deemed necessary near M. Ii.

where the drain enters the larger pipe
put down by Mr. Sturges, brick man
hole, seven feet deep, four feet in diane
ter at the bottom and two feet at the top,
will be built. The inlet and outlet will
be at some distance from the bottom, to
prevent the accumulation of sufficient
sand in the larger pipe to choke it.

church architect, and the specifications
are now about ready for bidders. The

architecture similar to that of the church,
at whose southeast corner it will stand.
