 feet of pipe and carrying the sewer across the river below the iron railroad bridge, the city can, when it shall find it necessary, carry all the sewage through one outlet on to filter beds at a less expense than the same can proba- bly, be done by any other city in the State of Connecticut. The city is to be congratulated upon the economical way in which it's servants have lac- quired rights of way and sewer beds, and always with the view of having permanent rights and rights of replace ment, so that the future :cost shall be very limited, and the sizes of the sew. CT have in all cases been made such that the city can increase in popula. tion four-fold without crowding the sewer. At the same time, we need ad ditional sewers and 1 recommend that the council shall recommend to the voters an appropriation which shall build additional sewers which will al. most complete the system and at a cost which will be small in comparison with what the city has already expen. ded. The following list is long, but the distances of the different sewers are in almost every instance very short and all the additional sewers rec commended lead into our present mains which have been built at much larger expense, and even if every cent of the cost of the same should be as. sessed against the abutters, l believe that the investment to the abutters upon the payment of such assessments would be n Very good investment, be- sides adding to the healthfulness of the city.
