 council held last evening, the prob- len of providing additional office space for city offices was discussed, although no definite action was taken. It was suggested that the store now occupied by Valentines market be taken over for city pur- poses and remodeled for use by the city tax collector and the judge of probate. Should this be done, it is probable that a separate vault would be constructed for the keeping of records for those two departments.
 By making this change the space now used by Judge of Probate S, Russell Mink and Tax Collector Frank B. Riley could be utilized by the city clerk and the vault at pres ent used by the three departments would be available for records of the city clerks office only All three de- partments have been crowded for room for some time past and the change proposed would be appreciat- cd by the public, particularly the thousands who visit the office of the
 
 arrangement it might also be found possible to maintain an office in the city building for the department of health.
 The police department has also been cramped for room for some time past apd it is understood plans are at present in the works to re- model the interior to some extent.
 Definite action on the changes in formally discussed last evening may be taken at the meeting to be held on Tuesday. February 15.
 Discuss Torestvillc Sewer
 City Engineer Carleton w. Buell., who for several months past has been making a survey of the pro- posed sewerage facilities for East Bristol and Forestville, appeared at the informal meeting of the city council and recommended the in stallation of pumping system, which it was estimated would cost approximately $72,000, including pumping station, force mains, pur- chase of land and right of way Un- der that plan. the sewage would be pumped to the present beds in East Bristol.
 A gravity system, it was estimated by the city engineer would cost ap- proximately SS0,000. The pumping system was recommended because it was more sanitary and gravity sys- te, would mean the location of beds too close to the heart of rapidly growing district. The cost per year of a gravity system was estimated at $5,000 and Of the pumping sys- tenn $5,50O.
 The plan also proposed the anal gamating of the second and third taxing districts into what would be known as the Forestville Sewer Dis trict and when final action is taken, Corporation Counsel William N. De- Roster will be authorized to present q bill to the legislature to secure the necessary sanction, and which will also provide for a special election to enable the voters of the new district to pass on it.
 It is probable that the matter will be formally discussed at the council meeting to be held on February Is.
