Clinton, March 24-The hearing be-
fore the committee on drainage, which
was not completed Tuesday, was con-
tinued today in Boston. Hon. John w.
Corcoran again represented clinton and
called several experts and engineers to
testify concerning the soil of the rail-
road lot and the cemetery lot. Several
citizens were present from Lancaster,
and gave their objections to having
sewer beds constructed so near their
premises.
Herbert Parker stated Lancaster's po-
sition, and emphasized her objections to
having her land taken for such purposes.
The metropolitan water board sub
mitted proposition for the solution Of
this question, which seems to meet more
favor with the people of both towns
than does the present bill 1t was as
follows:
THE board have looked irto the mat
ter of the disposition of the sewage of
the town of Clinton and have deter
mined that it is not advisable to at
tempt to dispose of the sewage within
the limits of the town, but consider the
cemetery lot, so-called, most satisfac-
tory one.
''The board are willing 20 go forward
and construct a plant in consultation
with the committee of the town-of Clin-
ton, and Will maintain it up to such
time as the town of Clinton itself win
be obliged to build q plant if the board
can agree with the town upon such
time.
"That after the expiration of the
time agreed upon during which the
board shall maintain the plant, it will
turn it over to the town upon terms TO
be agreed upon. And that thereafter it
shall be maintained by the town of Clin-
ton under the supervision of the state
board of health, the metropolitan water
board dee1ning the board of health a
proper one to direct in such matters,
and that such supervision is in accord
ance with numerous precedents
In case satisfactory agreements can
not be reached in the matters in dis
pute. they shall be submitted to a COM
mission to be appointed by the supreme
judicial court"
