Norwich bulletin., 1919-04-22

by the overflow Of cesspools. caused by
excess Of springs and surface water,
and which oyerflows the sidewalk and
becomes stagnant in the cutters, has
been the source of much complaint
| from residents of that section and the
cause of worriment 10 officials of the
town. To abate this nuisance, pending
| the coming Of the sewerage system,
has thus far been an unavoidable prob
/ lem. II is said that the only relief is
| the construction OF pipe line through
| the Chester property to the brook that
wends its way through Wilcox park,
/ wit hoUtlet into the Pawcatuck river.
! Mr.. Chester is willing TO grant the
| privilege Of pipe line, but his prop
| erty ends within u feet of the brook
The intervening land is owned by Mrs
Margaret Bedford. and it is understood
! that she objects to the pine line going
through her property, as it is now free
! of the nuisance.
| AT the, last meeting OF the town
council a special committee was ap-
pointed, composed of two members of
the council, two of the property own
ers, the highway commissioners, the
town solicitor and superintendent of
| health to investigate the whole matter
and report something of q remedial
nature. There will be a special meet
ing of the town council this evening to
! hear and consider the report of this
| committee.
