BRIDGEPORT SEWAGE DISPOSAL PLANT IS

 One who would visit the plants which is erected at the river end of Bostwick avenue, would get the inn pression that he was about to enter a library, rather than sewage dis posa1 plant. The outside finish of red brick with an imitation marble trim for window and the white paint ed sashes set off the structure to the very best possible effect
 Inside there is evident a desire to make the place operate with the least possible sign of the matter that is passing. through the processes arrane,- ed. The large chambers in which the solids and liquids of sewage are sep arated are of concrete and the strainers have been set in these ba- sins. By the operation of revolving brushes solid matters are carried to a cone shaped shute- and by pipe line
 thence to a dumping station outside
 of the building. The matter is forced
 by compressed air. The arrangement
 is such that wagons can be quickly filled and the material can1ted away.
 Inasmuch as the plant is far below the sea level the problem of dlspoSlng
 of the water was not a small one, but
 it has been successfully handled
 Great pipe lines which are filled from the StrGlnerS are I1lled "lLn cO1H-
 pressed air and the water is forced out to the edge of the channel The
 power plant for this part of the dis
 posal consists of three 75 and three 150 horsepower motors, in units of one of each and allowing 225 horse power for each of the basins. The solid matter which will be taken from the plant will be prac- ticaIly odorless. It will be fit in some cases for fertilizer and in other in stances will be used simply to fill low and swampy places. There is a likelihood that much land will be quickly reclaimed without the ob- objections that would otherwise re- suit.
 So far as the removal of foreign 1 substances from the waters of the
 harbor is concerned, it will have an | important bearing on the future of | the shell fish industry in this sec | ton. With the operation of the East and West Side plant waters off i Bridgeport will be free of the pollu- | ton which has caused a storm of l protest for long tim eand fish will | thrive.
 | In all the city officials believe that | the money spent in the plant has been well invested and it is their intention as soon as other more urgent mat ters have been given attention and | the city can stand it financially to l proceed with the second unit for the | East Side of the city.

With the tying in'' of Bridgeport's
 trunk line sewers on the west side Of
 the river, there will be ready for op-
 eration the first unit of Bridgeport's sewage disposal plant-a unit that
 represents the outlay of $1sOOO,OOO
 and that is unique in many respects
 The tying in' or connecting of the
 trunk lines with the disposal plant
 proper is a matter that rests with the
 city engineer and while the definite
 date has not been set, the action It IS
 understood will be taken in the near
 future. Although there is still some
 finishing work in progress at the dis
 posal plant it is ready for action
 action that will take care of 4O,OO0,- 900 gallons of sewage in 24 hours.
 The completion of the plant marks the end of two years work which has
 been done by the Eastern Engineering
 & Construction Company of which William Shaughnessy is the head Howard Beers has been resident en- gineer in charge of the work and the
 thoroughness of it as well as the sat

 maintained from the start are to a
 great degree to his credit, Harold Wilson, brother of Mayor Clifford B.
