 Because the waters in the Pe- quabuck river have become polluted las a result of there being no sew .erage system in the Forestville sec tion, definite action toward the es- .tablishment of such system is un- der way. A committee was named lat the regular meeting of the city .council last night consisting of Mayor John F.. Wade, Superinten- dent of Public Works Oscar Ander- son and Councilman Willard A Hough, to investigate the advisab bil- ity of putting in the system and make a report at the next meeting.
 The state water commission sent a letter 10 Mayor Wade regarding the pollution of the Pennington river, this letter being read at the meeting last night. The letter made the suggestion that he city secure funds for a preliminary survey for a sewerage system in Forcstville and, later, that the residents of the East Bristol and Forestville sections be called into conference in the matter.
