SOUTHBRIDGE

A petition has been circulated in
town to be presented to the sewer
commissioners asking that provisions
be made for building a sewer on Ham
ilton Street from Marcy to Main
Streets, on Edwards Street from Mar
cy to Hamilton and on Marcy Street
from Edwards to Hamilton Streets
There is little question but that this sec
ton of the town needs a sewer but the
point with the voters will be: Is there
not large part of the town that needs
it more? Large appropriations that have
continually been made of late years,
places the town in no position to build
all the sewers needed and the point
should be to care for the parts of the
town where the demand for a sewer is
most imperative and where the alb
sence of sewer is a menace to health.
This latter state of affairs is true of a
large part of the thickly inhabited
tenement districts which should be car
ed for first when appropriations are
made and it is along this line that
the sewer commissioners have very
wisely acted in their recommendations
