 The first step in the attempt to | provide | sanitary sewer system for Forestville was taken last night when a petition signed by 20 resi- dents of that section was presented to the city council. Upon the rccom- mendation of Mayor W. Raymond l Crumb. action was deferred until he had had an opportunity to confer with Corporation Counsel William N. DcRosier regarding the method of procedure. His report will undoubt- edly be made at the regular meeting Of the council on Tuesday, August G.
 An act authorizing the issuance of bonds for the construction of sew age disposal system in the second taxing district was passed by the last session of the Connecticut state leg islature.- The opinion has been eX- pressed that the bond issue will first have to be sanctioned by the gencr- al city because of the fact that there are no administrative officers in the second district. The approval or dis approval of the bond issue will be dnri6n6 hr Jo ,,it { the city election in October and a second election, at which only the voters Of the district to be served by the new sewer will be eligible to vote.
 The majority of names on the pe- tltion submitted last evening were from the southern part of the For estvllle section, Broad Place. Kcnney street, East Main street, and adjoin- ing streets. A few signatures were those of residents of Central, Wash lngton, and Academy streets north of the railroad tracks
 There Is considerable conjecture as to whether the second voting dis trict residents will approve of the expenditure of over $200. GOO. when the matter is put up to them at the polls. In addition 10 a initial assess ment. tax of at least five mills it IS estimated will be required to maintain the system, which will bring the total tax rate of the dis triCt up to over 80 mills.
