 The sewer work in Westerly is practi- cally at a standstill Since the men who were working on it went on a strike, demanding more money the work has stopped and thousands of dollars are buried many feet below the surface of the ground. with the town paying inter- est on the amount involved The Imhon tank, which was to have done away with the refuse from the sewer, has not yet been placed in operation. Tests have been made on different points of the river and if the intention of the people who have charge of this work is to see
 what the action would be in draining it into the river, it would not be sanitary or practicable. The new tank would de-
 stroy chemically the refuse as is being
 done in the larger cities and towns at present.
