Special to The Spy.
Webster, Oct. 2-The Board of Sewer
Commissioners expect to receive notice
any day from the State Board of Health
to commence work on the outfall sewer
that will abolish the present system of
running the sewerage of the town into
the MaaneXit River. Charles A. VOL
sard, a member of the local commits
sioners, talked with The Spy reporter
in detail about the proposed undertake
ing this morning. The town four years
ago voted to raise $4,000 year in an
ticfpation of taxes for the purpose of
raising the $90,000 which it is conced-
ed the undertaking will cost, but as
there has been no move toward estab-
fishing the System the money has not
been raised, although it can be secured
at any time
Mr.. Woisard is of the opinion that it
will cost more than 100000 to change
the course of the sewerage, erect a
pumping station and build filter beds
where the sewerage will be deposited
in Chaseville. He thinks it will cost
something over 100000 and many
others are of the opinion that 100000
will not be sufficient. The state board
is determined that the method of dis
posing of the sewerage be changed.
They have had agents in town and
samples of the water in the Maanexit
River have been secured. The water
of the river when it reaches the mills
in Chaseville is extremely bad, and one
official is quoted to have said that the
water was almost the worst in the
state.
Mr.. Woisard thinks it would be a bet
-, .zfs,
located in Dudley just over the Web
ster line. He thinks considerable mon
ey, possibly several thousand dollars,
would thus be saved.
Although word is expected from the
state authorities at any moment to
proceed some time will be given them
Possibly the time limit may be extend
ed to 10 or ~ months 1t is an assured
fact, however, that within a couple of
years the towns big outfall sewer will
be completed. Considerable work has
been accomplished in the last year by
the sewer board. About $4,000 has been
expended in new sewers, and about
2SOO feet of new pipes has been laid.
The investigation of the state board
showed that $50 houses in town are
connected with the sewer, The above
number includes simply dwelling
houses. The size of the pipes, number
of entrances, and various other details
We're ascertained by the state board
The work of building the outfan sewer
will be secured by contract by an out
of-town firm. Mr. Woisard told the re-
porter today that he had declined to
superintend the job. He has had
charge of all of the sewers built in
town lately, but he thinks the outfall
sewerage contract too difficult to han
die by any local man.
