A campaign looking toward the constructon Of q new and adequate sewerage system is about 10 be launched by Dr. George r, Cook. the local health officer. The present one is considered totally insufficient, since it connects with only the buildings about the center and docs this in l. manner which leads 10 n great number of complaints
 Numerous residents of the center and others either interested in the welfare of the town or offended by th 'smell while passing by have en- tered complaints concerning the vilo stencil which Is emitted from the manholcs and catch basins about the center, These have heen cleaned frequently during the last few months, but they fill up SO fast that the cleansing appears 10 do no good.
 pr, Cook plans to eliminate thiG trouble by bringing public sentiment to bear on the matter and mould it into an appeal for a complete new system. He intends 10 call in cX- | pert advice and will have state san itary engineers here to look over th" ground, make suggestions, and give
 advice as 10 the manner in which tO
 proceed. They will also be asked tO
 consider the pollution of streams
 here; the last legislature passed T
 bill in this regard, but it is under
 stood that complaints have been made concerning the pollution ot streams here by the emntying into
 them of the sewerage system.
 A new sewer committee will also
 be sought by the health officer,
 There exists at present such . body. but, Whilo casting no reflections on its members, Dr. Cook wants a nrW
 and more active one which will co.
 operate with him in putting over
 the campaign for a now disposa, system.
 With the water problem disposed , of hy,thc tapping of the New Brit l ain main line during tho coming { spring. he feels that th" next diff , culty to be tackled is that nf sew age. Ho made recommendation il l this regard in his last annual report
 and is now about to launch an active
 drive.
