 Frederick Buffum reported that as chairman of the municipal improve ment committee that as it was the opinion of those who have been in- VeStlgating the sewerage system that 1t had gone as far as it could in a superficial way and that it was con sideFed advisable to bring the mat ter before the toWnspeOple in the form of a resolution which the committee hoped would result in taking favorable action. It was the sentimen of many of those present, however, that the installing of such a system it would incur such an enormous expense to the town that it would be impossible for it to care for it. This was es- pecially emphasized when it was learn ed from the report that it was to be for the Westerly side only and not for the West Side, also, as is the case of the water system. To those who have an insight to the towns finances 1t was deemed inadvisabIe to bring this all important matter for the present at least.
 Mr. Buffum also spoke of Westerly's need for sidewalks. After having giv- ep the matter careful consideration it mad suggested plan whereby property owners might have walks laid and be allowed five years to pay for HIS SIGIe oI the improvements the rest of the expense to be borne by the town. It was thought by the commit tee that at least 10000 feet of side walks might be laid during the year. The plan of the committee for better walks was very faVora bly, received.
