Noters-Bristol Briefs.
 Definite recommendations as 70 the procedure to be followed in the special election to be called to act upon the proposed Forestville sewer proposition will be submitted to the city council at it's regular monthly meeting this evening by City Corporation Counsel William x. DeRosier.
 According to the wording of tue act passed by the last session of the state legislature, the Forest vile sewer proposition is to be de- cided by the voters residing in the proposed Forestville sewer distric. which will be created in event that the proposition is passed,
 While this will largely include the voters in the second voting district, the territorial limits Of the proposed sewer district are not coincident with the limits of the present second voting district. There are at the present time vot- CTS living within the limits of the second voting district but outside of the proposed sewer district wpo will not be entitled to vote upon tue question. whereas on King street there are voters residing in the fourth voting district who will Do eligible to participate in the elec- ton according to the terms of the act.
 This discrepancy will make it necessary for an entirely new vot- ing list to be drawn up specifically for the special election and it will also mean that election officials for the election will have to be ap- pointed and an entirely new set of election forms and machinery set up.
 Due to the fact that the larger number of voters reside in the Forestville section, adjacent to the center of Forestville, the polling place will probably be the Fire mems hall in Forestville and the election officials will probably be the officials for the second voting district
 In making preparations for the special election. City Attorney Will liam N. DeRosier has referred all pl2ns and preparations to the legal firm of Ropes, Gray. Border and Perkins of Boston. It will be this law firm that will certify as to the legality of the bond issue to be floated to pay for the cost of the sewer system in event that the pro- position is passed.
 Among the voters in the Forest vile section there is some differ ence of opinion regarding the na- Cessity of a sewer system, and as a result the Forestville end of the city may have an election campaign all it's own. At the present time there is no certainty that the proposition will be passed and there are those who predict that it will be turned down by two to one vote.
 It is likely that the city council may set a date for the special elec- tion at tonights meeting. The date of the special election will be set sufficiently far ahead so that there will be no confusion with the forth coming primary and general city elections.
