Norwich bulletin., 1922-12-05

KenZie who is partially in charge of the work and explained to him the complaints that had been made by certain residents Of Grove avenue that the land had not been put back in proper shape after the sewer pipes had been laid and that in one or two instances damage had result ed.
 As result of this talk MT Camp bell said that there was evidently misunderstanding somewhere as the , stories told by the property holders and Mir. Mckenzie differed widely. He said that he thought that the council ought not to get involved in the Sewer com plaiEts any more than possible. By so doing Mr. Campbell thought that the progress of the work might be hampered~ as the council might be taking up mat ters which were wholly up to the men on the sewer conmittee, Herbert P. Clarke of Grove avenue complained that his fathers property was far from the condition that prevailed l before the digging of the sewer and had de2reciated in value as a result of the
 poor work done in laying the pipes and. not finishing the work.
 Town Treasurer James N. Pendleton
 appeared before the council and asked
 for authority to secure S2O, 900 on notes
 for the sewer work, He told the council
 tl,&t it was the intention of those in' l charge of the sewer work to push the
 work ahead and accomplish as much as
 possible. befoNe the real cold weathe=

 . profit to the town of about nine dollars.

 staged and that it was in a deplorable condition, due either to thoughtlessness
 or utter disregard for the use of new public building Some of the council
 men were of the opinion that the charge
 for the use of the hall should be greatly
 increased and instructions given as to it's
 proper use.
 Councilman Louis Rossi made motion
 that the town hall should be left open for the members of the American Legion . to use on Arnistice night. MT. Rossl , stated that party from New London
