The Bratueboro board Of health has
turned over the sewer nuisance question
to the state board Of health. Since the
local board ordered the bailiffs To abate
the nuisance and the bailins in turn
passed along the order to the Connect
icut River Power company nothing
definite had been done. The board of
health notified DR.. II. ID. Holton, sec
rotary of the state board of health, OF
the situation and he made arrau-e...-l
to have Prof W. Notey, engineer for
the state board come to Brattleboro to
investigate and report.
The efforts of the board of trade to
make the census complete and accurate
resulted in the addition OF about lis
names to the list originally turned in by
the enumerators. The additions were
largely from the north end of the town
and the Italians who are working on the
water works The call for unenumer-
ated persons to send their names to
the board of trade proved effective. All
calls were turned over to Hugh Agnew
who was assisted by Robert Mitchell
in the extra work
In the adjourned meeting Of the Brat
| tleboro boat club last night it was decid-
ed to lease 300 feet OF water front on
the east side Of the island north of the
highway. There is a natural harbor
there and there has been some talk of
| erecting a clubhouse and storage shed
| for power boats there The larger plan
| has been Abandoned for this season but
| II was thought best to have this strip
| of land under control so that members
| who could not be accommodated at the
island boathouse or who did not wish to
go there could secure a place to build
| their own slips. 1t is probable that
the club will build a suitable wharf for
the accommodation Of those who house
| their own boats there.
