WATERFOWL JOTTINGS
A Good Time for Houseowners tt
 Think of Sewage Disposal.

Now that spring is at hand and sum- mer in the near future it might be we'll for Watertown to look a little towards the disposal of sewage In several places houses are too close so- gether to allow the sewage to run into the streets. A great many of our cit izens have fitted their dwellings with public water. This generally in- cludes bath room and closet and con- sequently adds to the quantity of sew age. The question of the disposal of sewage is a difficult one everywhere and Watertown. although small in comparison with other towns Cf the state, has her problem in this matter still to be solved. Just what the solu- tion will be it is difficult to foretell in any case something should be done and that soon. If not. we are liable to have trouble with some of the epi- denies which usually follow poor san itary conditions, whether these condi- tions exist in a single house or are common in every part of the town. If the people of Watertown wait too long before taking action in tnis mat ter they may be sorry for it. lQe Seleclu1eH 0ApeCL u nave sl SiHS of men start work on the town roads next week.
