Prof J. w. Votey of the University Of
Vermont, sanitary engineer for the Yer
mont state board of health, was in Brat
| tleboro Tuesday in conference with the
bailiffs and the engineers of the Con-
nectiCut River Power company about the
sewage problem The bailiffs have made
an arrangement with the power company
so that the company can go ahead with
whatever plan seems best for the dis
posal of the sewage, and the division OF
the expense will be left to arbitrators
Prof. Notey gave his sanction to plans
which have been arranged but he will
not give his final approval until further
experiments have been made. He return
ed to Burlington Tuesday. The power
company recognizes its responsibility

ready to accept the burden of conditions
which they claim are due to faulty con-
struction of the sewers.
