WESTPORT HOMES PROTECTED FROM
 DYNAMITE BLASTS
Sewer Contractor Experiencing Con- siderable Trouble in Excavating in
 State Street Hill.

State Street Hill.
 CBy Our Special Correspondent.> Westport Aug. 27-Contractor Chappi of saugatuck who has the con- 1 tract for laying the new sewers in town is encountering severest set backs 1 in digging the trenches leading to the State street hill on the west side or l the Saugatuck river. The contractor 1 had figured that because the Water i company did not have much difficulty 1 in laying it's pipes through this sec | ton of the street that his sewer pipes i could also be laid without any great l difficulty arising However, the un- | expected happened as the 1aborers 1 have found solid ledge of rock in 1 the istreet and are making but slow progress in removing the stone SeY- 1 eral drills have been set at work pre- l pairing the rock for blasting but the l results anything but encouraging The lines on which the layers of rock l have been thrown up are very mregu- l lar making the progress of the work very slow as but small quantities ot rock can be blasted at a time. Larger quantities could be uneartheo but the I contractor is limited in the amount ot blasting material he can se+ otr. If larger quantities were used there is no doubt but that the effects would be carried to the ssurroun ding neigh borhood perhaps with damage to property. As a precaution to the houses in the immediate vicinity the location where the blast is set off is we'll covered with wooden ties and heavy ropes.
