WARREN.
Plans for a Sewerage System Com
pleted and Filed.
An Unusually Large Number of Visitors.
Republicans 10 Meet.

The plans for a system of sewrage for
! the town OF Warren which by order OF
| tho Town Council Charles p. Chase has
| completed, have been nled with the
| town clerk. The system contemplates
| sewers of sufficient size TO accommodate
the sewage from houses and roofs, bat
streets. 1t is designed to conduct the
most OF the sewage into the Warren River
through q 20-inch main pipe, while
pipes Of q lesser diameter will be used to
make connections from the dwellings.
| Owing to the peculiar elevation of the
sur face land, Main street forming, as IL
were, q ridge, 1t is designed to trail q
portion of the system to empty into
Belcher's cove at the north end OF the
city. In order to get the necessary fall to
do the work thoroughly, the depth to
which the pipes will have to be laid
! will vary from Ia to "A feet, the latter,
however not for any great distance. To
| those who have examined the plans the
matter looks feasible. Accompanying
the report is plat showing the sire,
| elevations and grade of the sewers in
each street selected. The estimated cost
is placed at S45, 900, providing no ledge
work will be required. Owing to the
| fact that business has been dull, no fac
tory dividends for the past year, many
people unemployed, the town in debt
about $500 and the well known con-
| servatism of our taxpayers ii is not
thought that should the subject receive
| the sanction of them the work will be
started in upon for some time at least.
While Warren received the full benent
| of the tempest that prevailed throughout

wick Saturday evening.

town in one day. The churches were
well attended, the regular pastors oc-
cupying their pulpits. The livery stables

weather the good roads and the near ap-
