SEWAGE DISPOSAL.
A new bill has been drawn by John
w. Corcoran for the disposal of Clinton
sewage, which will be put before the
legislature as a substitute for the one
which has caused so much discussion.
Ihls bill will be less Objectionable to
Lancaster, and will be more to the lik-
ing of majority of Clinton people, as
1t will follow very closely the lines Of
the proposition made by the metropoli-
tan board. If this proposition is fol-
lowed out IN the line that was talked Of
at the hearing last week, the sewage
WIN be placed upon what is known as
the Cemetery lot"
After it was known that the old St.
John's cemetery was to be taken by the
metropolitan board as a part of the
Wachusett basin. Rev. FIR. Patterson
purchased this lot of land near the line
between Clinton and Lancaster for the
location of new cemetery to which
the remains Of bodies In the old one
could be removed when the work upon
the basin began. Soon after this. a
committee was appointed by St Johns
parish to dispose of the old cemetery,
remove the bodies and purchase a new
lot. There was some objection to the
lot purchased by FIR Patterson, but the
committee had about decided to accept
1t, as no other was obtainable which
they preferred.
If the metropolitan board should take
this lot, it would reopen the question of
location again.
This lot includes about rs acres Of
land, and if the metropolitan board
should take part of it, there might be
enough left for use as a cemetery, but
ton would then be desirable
