 erly Board Of Trade, the last of the season, as there will be vacation dur ing June, July and August, President James M. Pendleton urged an active campaign in favor of sewerage sys- tenn for the first drainage district, as Is to be decided by special town cleo taon next Thursday. He explained that although every known method hat been made to give the matter publici- ty, there was still misunderstanding e4 the question at issue by taxpayers in the act that the entire cost of con- strHctton and maintenance is to be borne by ttle property owners in the district to be severed, and that dis trtct is plainly defined. Property owners outside of that district have no financial interest in the matter. The act, however, provides that the ques- ticn of sewerage system be decided by special town election, and all real es- tate voters in the town, without as well as within the district, are privi- ieged to vote.
 President Pendleton said an active campaign on the part of the Board of Trade ought to result in favor of the sewerage system by informing those resident outside the proposed sewer age district that 1t was a matter in
 
 esteo, and therefore they ought not to vote against the proposition, but to let the voters who were to pay the bills settle the question between them selves. The executive committee was instructed to organize a campaign in favor of the sewerage question
 Angelo Cappuccio told of the un- sanitary conditions that existed in the Pierce street section by reason of a clogged brook. He said he had been before the town council many times, but could get no redress. But once, he said. the town appropriated S200 to clean out bist brook but conditions were just as bad in a very short time, as the residents of that section throw stuff into the brook and it became clogged again, and has been a nuisance and menace to public health ever since MT. Cappuccio said some of the people of that section did not know much in the line of sanitation, but they are willing to learn. If they were given to understand that they would be prosecuted if they stopped the flow o1 { water in that brock, he believed a1S problem would be solved. He said there was urgent need for sanitary i'm provement in the Pierce street section He told of the advance and industry of the Italian people and said that 2s years ago but very few Italians were !

 Milo Clark and Rev. F. c. A. Jonet aided MT. Cappuccio in making it clea1 I to the meeting that he wanted the in, daence of the Board of Trade to urg, the town council to make this sani. tary improvement. This matter wa! referred to the committee on sanita tion.
 President PendIetcn said MT. Cap I puceioss plea for improved sanitation I was an argument for sewerage ans that the residents of the Italian col ony, where the system was most need | ed, would have the opportunity nex 1 Tuesday to apply the remedy. To thi l MT. Cappuccjo replied that he did no think all the Italians wanted sewerag l system, but they did want that brool I in the Pierce street section cIeanet 1 out, as sewage entered and helped t the ctogging, and increased the un sanitary condition.
