 Stratford, Nov. 1.-The adoption of the Herring sewer system py tne city of Bridgeport has attracted the attention of those progressive citizens in this town who have an eye 70 tne future and hope to make the town something more than Suoufp Ol Bridgeport. The great river Wnicn flows by the town is available to take away sewage and can easily be reaen- ter Heights district can be dralned into the gut through Bruce avenue and below through Johnson.s creek; There is a six foot fall from StratIoro avenue to the gut at the bridge over behind it on Hollister Heights this is sufficient to relieve the western part Of the town. All sections or the eastern part can be drained into IhS Housatonic river where there IS Iaii of from six to 25 feet It should not be difficult to arrange system Wnicn would make the town one or the most thoroughly drained in the state. Very few towns have the natural ad- vantages possessed by StratIoro: These figures are the result of actual surveys by engineers employed pS private parties-- The Centre IS the most difficult problem and it is sug- gested by the engineers that Tanner s brook encased in a big tile Will pro- vide for this section. This problem will probably be the most important Trade and it-is worthy of immediate consideration.
