FOR SEWAGE DISPOSAL.
Mayor Quiglcy Favors Appropriation of $25,OOO for Experimental Plant

Mayor George A. Quigley is cons1d- cring the advisabilitY of seeking aid from the next legislature of an appro- Driation from 5000 to s50,0OO for q sewage experiment station to be erected preferably at the Berlin sewer beds Tn connection with this matter Mayor Quigley said New Britain had spent a sum in excess of S1 100000 on it's sewerage system and is confronted with an expenditure of $3OO,OOO to s6OO.OO0 for the completion of the system.
 The filtration plant at Berlin is any thing but a complete success and ac- cording to the mayor other cOmmuni- ties in the state are confronted with Ike problems. He says the city can ct go ahead with experimental work ard there Is no reason why the city should do the pioneer work and allow other cities to benefit by it. He there fore proposes that the state make an appropriation which all may benefit hy and this experimental plant should properly be located at the Berlin sewer beds in Beckley Quarter.

HAY ACOUUESCES

Washington, Aug 19.-Prospects of a congressional row over President Wilson's veto of the army appropria- tion bill went glimmering today and the attitude of Chairman Hay of the house military committee was one of acquiescence toward passing the bill with such a revision of the articles of war as the president and the war de- partment say is necessary.

DELAY ON ELM STREET JOB.
Business Men Claim They Are Losing Money and Blame Union Paving Go.

That the Union Paving company is to blame for the delay on the Elm street paving job and that the board of public works should force immediate action or take the contract away from them Is urged by Elm street business men, prominent among the complain ants being Major Frank H. Johnston, president of the City Coal x Wood company.
 Major Johnston is authority for the statement that the paving company has a weak argument in complaining that 1t cannot do the work on account of the delay in the arrival of cement. MT. Johnston says that there is plenty of cement in the city providing the Union Paving company is willing to pay the price. That the company is depending upon another contractor who has thus far failed to make good is no excuse in the eyes of Major Johnston and he Is tired of listening to such complaints while Elm street business men are suffering from the hold-up on the job.
 The company should be forced to take immediate action or forfeit the contract, he contends. Major John ston, in this stand is not actuated by personal consideration and cites the case of a local milk dealer who was threatened with arrest today for tres passing on the concrete which has been hardening in the sun for the past four or five days. The Union Paving Co., has been engaged for the past street job for weeks and Elm street business men are losing money every day owing to apparently needless de- lay ayers Major Johnston
