Grove Street D;stric,
Although no date has been set
for the hearing in East Bristol 10
consider the proposed extension of
sewer facillfles TO include the por-
ton OF East Bristol located north
OF the tracks Of the New York. New
Haven and Hartford Railroad Co.
the residents OF that section are
planning determined campaign TO
defeat the program. 1t became
known today. Those with whom the
matter was talked over, presented
several reasons why they believed
the work should be held in abey-
ance for a few years at least. II was
pointed ont that many had recently
purchased their homes and on ac-
count of the curtailed schedules in
some OF the factories, they were ex-
periencing difficulty in keeping their
heads above water. The seven mill
school tax, recently laid by the vot-
ters OF East Bristol, was another
reason advanced for opposing the
construction Of sewers AZ this time.
especially when the school commit
tee made It plain that the seven
mill tax would be necessary for at
least two or three years 10 place the
school syntem on sound basis,
Figures presented by City Engin-
Ger Carleton W. Buell. at an omen
hearing in Forestville recently show
ed that the initial cost to property
owners for the laying OF the sewer
mains would be approximately SCI
front foot. The maintenance cost
and the retiring Of certain amount
of bonds each year would necessi-
tate sewer tax OF slightly over one
mill.
