There is considerable opposition among
the residents of the east side over the pro-
posed closing of the sluioeway. This OPP
position has been agitated at intervals of
several years, but it has been pushed with
the most vigor at the present time. There
is considerable opposition to the closing
of the sluiceway and . vigorous protest
will be made. It was reported yesterday
that the selectmen would surely come to
the rescue with an injunction If tho plan
to fill the sluiceway was persisted in. The
opponents claim that there is no more ex-
cuse for closing the sluiceway than for
turning the Quinnipiac river from Its
course. The outcome of the contest will
be awaited with interest, as both sides
seem determined to carry the day.
