 Stratford, June 21-Protests are being heard from many sections of the town over the high cost of in stallfng the sewer service through the streets and as . result of the high rate meeting of protest was held in the Hollister Heights section one evening last week at which time more than 200 of the residents were present. The cost for the installing of the sewers according to bills re- ceived by property owners Is $2.52 a front foot as against $1.50 per front foot which was understood would be the cost for the installing of the ser vice, some tAme ago. The increase which is due to the high cost of ma terial and wages apparently will make it big difficulty Tor many of the property owners to meet their obligations to the town. It was stated at the meeting of protest on Hollister Heights last week that at town meeting in 1916 the taxpayers were given to understand that this work could be done for a cost not less than s1 or over $1.5o per foot and with these rates the voters unan- mously voted for the service, which was greatly needed. Since the first contracts were let labor and material has taken such a jump in price that the additional expense was unavoida- ble if the sewering of the town was to be completed.
