That Claims Will Be Allowed
Fathers Have Worked Faithfully.

Millbury, March ga communication
from counsel informs the MilIbury Sc
lectmen that the adjustment Of the suit
Of Millbury VS.. Washburn &c Moen, is
about to be reached The town fathers
were anxious to have some definite set
tlement OF this case, and by their con-
stant attention have succeeded in bring
about the adjustment of the entire mat
ter without any considerable cost to the
town. The company proposes to petition
the city of Worcester for leave to enter
the city sewers. This plan will remove
all the sewage of the works from direct
disposal into the river. The sewage will
then be part of Worcesters sewage
and will be treated for the present at the
precipitation works, and ultimately by
whatever methods the city adopts. The
selectmen are very much pleased that
the great expense of a trial will by this
method be probably averted.
