 Interested in Bill.
 Plainville is taking an active inter est in the bill presented to the legis- lature authorizing the construction of sewers by contracting firms, which are to personally stand the expense of the work, collecting in installment covering period of thirty years from the sewer districts served.
 The bill is patterned after a law now on the books in New Jersey and has many features to commend it to small towns.
 Joseph N. McKernan and Charles H. Newton of this place, appeared in favor of it's passage when the, measure was considered by the legis- lative committee, and they are hope full 1t will pass.
 The enactment of such a law might be of considerable benefit to Plain- vile as 1t would enable the sewer dis trict to have a, system of sewage dis posal constructed, the taxpayers pay ing the expense in installments.
 Under the terms of the measure the sewer would be turned over to the district after its construction and the who did the work would be permitted to allow thirty years for payment of his bill The proposi- ton merely serves as substitute for the issuing of bonds to cover the incurred by construction work It would be of benefit to Plainville because of the fact that the local district might have trouble in of bond issue while the towns debt is so large
 The time when Piainville will have R complete sewage system is not be- lleved to be far distant. If the town is to grow such an improvement is necessary and as the prospects for a bigger Plainville were never brighter 1t would appear that the time is ripe for action. Sentiment against a sew sr system, which developed solely because of the hcsitancy of some of the taxpayers to permit of a deeper plunge into the abyss of debt, seems to be gradually disappearing and it is generally conceded that it will be put a short time before they are ready to vote for the improvement regardless of the action of the legis- nture on the contractors bill.'
