One hundred and fifty residents ot the Forestyllle and East Bristol districts were present at the meet ing held last evening in Bremen $ hall, Forestyile, at which time the proposed establishment Of a sewer tions was discussed Mayor John r. Wade presided and the entire coun- cil body was in attendance.
 Two plans of caring for the sew age Of the district were spoken Of hy City Engineer Carleton w. Buell. The first plan. which was believed by far 10 be the more desirable was one which would arrange for tho pumping Of all sewage 10 the present plant lu West Bristol. A large pump would be placed near Davitt's Crossing on Broad street and this would take care of prac- tically all of the district except a portion Of East Main street and q part Of Pine street. To take care Of these two sections, it would be necessary to install supplementary pumping stations. Tho estimated cost 10 install the sewer mains and pumping stations. 10 include the Bristol Brass tract and up as far as Artisan street on Brook street, would be sl40,0o0. If laid up King street 10 q point about 100 feet north of West Washington street. up Broad street as far as the J. II. Sessions X Son and up Pennington avenue the estimated cost would be Sl70.000. Neither Of these figures included the laterals, which are paid for by as- sessments on the individual property owners It was figured that the cost for such laterals would be approxi- mately s front foot To take care of a bond issue of sl40,0Oo. 10 be retired in 80 years, based on the estimated grand list Of the proposed district. 1t would be necessary to lay about three mill tax. IT the bond issue was made sl7o,noo. the mills would probably be 3.c. The cost 10 the average householder would he about se5 q ycSr.

 William IT. Copeland. engineer of the state water commission, spoke at length in connection with that bodys aim in reducing the pollution Of streams. He stated that he had made q complete investigation of the situation in Fores,vila at the invita- ton Of the mayor and the city coun ell and the result had been the sur Ney which had been made by the city engineer. He believed the re- suits to be obtained by the ins,alla- ton Of the proposed sewer facilities would greatly offset the cost. Ii would Improve the homes. it would make 1t possible for residents of ,he disfrlct to enjoy where they live 10 greater extent, it would improve the value Of property. He advocat- cd. as did the city engineer, the use of pumping stations rather than the use Of the old Camp Station grounds as sewer beds. The lat ter course. if taken. he felt would re- suit in complaint from residents in the vicinity of Camp Station and would cost more for the prepara- ton Of the site for actual use. He also pointed out that at the pres cnt time the city Of New Haven was spending three million dollars 10 clean up their harbor: Waterbury was considering the expenditure Of two million dollars: New Britain, which is disappointed with it's pres ent sever system is contemplating more modern one at an expense Of one million: and that numerous other cities In the state were doing likewise.
 Following q fcw concluding re- marks by the mayor. q committee of seven. consisting Of Harry Law, Fred Downs, Charles Anscrbower, Matthew Mccormack. Joseph L. Harold l.. Hayden and Joseph T. Donovan, were appointed 10 go over the matter and at some date In the near future confer with the city council and city engineer. A meeting will be held a little later 1t which time definite action will be taken by the voters of the district which Is 10 be set off and known as Inc Forcstville sewer district.
