Comley, Jr., against Fannie and Nell lie Wordfn to procure land at the foot of Bostwick avenue for one of the proposed sewage disposal stations Plans for the station according to the Herring and Gregory sketches have been prepared by City Engineer Ter ry and were approved last night by the paving and sewer commission. It is planned to have a station on the West Side, and have all sewage float ed in there anad disposed of by the filtration system in vogue in many inland cities.
 The site seIected is part of the old Wordin farm. City Attorney Comley and Alderman Mauritz Olson. chair man of the common council committee on sewers are the committee se- lected to find sites for the disposal plants, They had set a price of about $1O,00O the Wordin tract which is mostly undeveloped property close to the waterfront.
 The Wordin heirs however have placed a valuation of $SS,OOO on the property and refuse to sell for less It had been reported that after hear ing tue price set on the property City Attorney Conley began negotia- uons with the Bridgeport Hydraulic Go. for it owns in the West End but the city. attorney denied this today. The report of the city engineer will be accepted by the common council Monday night and unless the Wordin heirs and the city attorney reach an understanding soon, the condemna- ton proceedings will probably be brought.
 It is proposed to commence work on the new sewer system on the West Side first. The East Side plants will be taken up later. Several sites for the disposal plant are under consider ation in that section. One is near the old Ho1lister Tide mill.

 MT. Werner, his assistant, or both, will repeat the first lesson next Friday in
