Willimantic, Danielson and Putnam

i relative to placing the terminal of the
 sewer under the Quinebaug bridge and allowing the sewage to flow into the
 river when Danielson first commenced to build it's sewer system about six
 years ago.
 These letters of Mr. Atwood make 1t
 clear that in giving their consent to
 the emptying of sewage into their pond
 under the bridge the Quinebaug com
 pany did so with the understanding
 that it was to be a temporary arrange
 ment and that if at any time the sew
 age should become a nuisance or
 menace to public health that they
 would retain the right to request It's
 removal. One of the letters, written
 this spring, contains the statement
 that the odor from the sewer discharge
 has now become so disagreeable as to
 be noticeable by residents in the vicin-
 ity of the bridge, and also contains
 the request for the removal of the
 sewer. This letter was followed with
 deep interest by the voters and was the inspiration for lengthy discus
 sion as to whether or not there is an odor from the sewer discharge suffi- cient to warrant the borough going to the expense of making the change of terminal desired. In answer to a ques- tion as to whether he had made any investigation as to the alleged odor from the sewer under the bridge, War den Bullard said he had visited the bridge fifteen times and that two other members of the board had made sev- eral visits each to the place and that neither he or the other two members had been able to detect any odor. The visits have been made during the sum- mer, when the river is at its lowest level of the year, and therefore more liable to give off odors than at any ffr,aA n 1xrd0 of making similar investigation at various times and with the wind in various quarters, but he, too, had been unable to detect any odor from the sewer. The fact was pretty well es- abolished that the odor Is not a real menace as yet. if it exists at all; yet, after carefully considering the ques- ton of it's removal, a majority of the voters in the meeting voted to remove the terminal to a point below the mills of the company and avoid the very probable litigation that would ensue if che terminal is allowed to remain where it is. As the sewer system Is being constantly extended matters at the bridge are bound to grow worse, and while it is going to cost the bor- ough a sum of money that is more than many of the taxpayers feel will ing that should be spent on sewers at the present time, many others believe that it is better to make the change and save the cost of litigation than to thresh the matter out in the courts and take the chance of being obliged to remove it just the same. The sewer terminal has got to go down the river some day anyway. It looks like law suit for the borough whichever way | they turn in the matter, for the own CTS of the private property across l which the sewer is to run on lower | Dyer street are said to be looking for | a good fat thing in exchange for the | privilege of allowing the pipes to run | across their land.

Doesn't Think Much of It.

As demonstration of Major General Leonard Woods theory of the weak ness of our cost defensr, the war game in Massachusetts is not convincing. To carry large invading force with its impedimenta across 5000 or 4000 miles of deep sea water would be a task of enormously greater difficulty than is the stimulation of such an invasion by summer excursion down the Sound.
