|. 3. Eddy Will Attend Annual Meeting Of Sewer District Tonight. NETA0DISTS GREET NEW PASTOR


 Committee Does Not Expect Final
 Action at Tonight's Meeting-H. S.
 Woolley Dies in East Hartford
 Make Payment on Mortgage.
 Harrison B. Eddy of the firm of Metcaif and Eddy of Boston, which fas been engaged as consulting en- 9ineers on the layout for the proposed sewer. arrived in town today and made pr eparations to give a talk to the, voters at the annual meeting of the sanitary and sewer district to be held tonight in the Town hall. Mr. Eddy visited here a few weeks ago and went over the zone which it is pro- posed to sewer and also inspected the property which has been recom- 1nended to the district committee for sewer beds.
 The Boston engineers have had copies of Engneer McKernan's plans, which have been approved by tha officers of the district, for several days and their report will be presented at tonight's meeting. Consulting engin- eers were engaged after 1t was learned that the opposition to the sewer iden proposed to throw cold water on the designs made by Engineer McKer- ran. It was said that they intended to insist on having the plans traced by a board of engineers before taking any action concerning their acceptance.
 The opposition was deprived of this argument by the officers who engaged the engineers themselves. MT. Eddy has not given out any information as to what are his opinons but he is ex- pected to make a thorough report at tonight's meeting. He will probably have many questions to answer in ad- dition to making his formal report and this feature of the session promises to be very interesting.
 Besides electing officers and trans acting routine business the meeting will discuss plans for financing the project. Many suggestions have been made to the committee as to what means should be taken to pay for building the sewer and the members have two or three ideas to offer to the voters.
 While it was expected that definite action on the question of authorizing the officers to award a contract would be taken at tonight's session, members of the committee said today that in all probability an informal discussion of the subject will be the limit the voters will go to.
