SEWER HEARINGS
 HELD LAST NIGHT
Many Attend Session. Burns Funeral Held
 To-day


 Sewer hearings for Bon Air ave nue, Robert street, White street and Melbourne Terrace attracted most of the residents of that sec- tion of Waterville to last nights meeting of the board of commis- sioners of public works.
 The Melbourne Terrace sewer from Bon Air avenue to Waverly street has been completed and the customary assessment of two dol- lars and a half Q front foot was laid, deferring the assessments of any lots on the west side of the street whose slope will not permit them to make use of the sewer.
 The hearings were held for the laying of sewers in Bon Air ave nue from Cooke street to Mel bourne Terrace; in Robert street, from Herkimer to White street; and in White street, from Robert street to Cooke street. The board will make it's decision on these hearings at its next meeting on February 2nd.
 Most of the property owners on Bon Air avenue from Cooke street to Dwight street registered them selves in favor of the sewer. Those wh0 objected being influenced by their desire not to assume the cost of the work at present. Twelve houses stand on this section of the street with but two or three un- developed lots. In that section of the street from Dwight street to Melbourne terrace there are but two or three houses and several vacant lots. Most of the property owners of this section registered objections. Tn order to gain a proper outlet, however, the sewer if approved, must pass through the entire street, since the slope will not permit drainage into the Cooke street sewer.
 In the Robert street hearing, of undeveloped lots on the south- ern half of the street. The home- owners on the other end of the street were almost unanimously In favor of the sewer. Most of ths Objectors, however, were inclined to withdraw opposition if the sewer now proposed could be built to servo only the built-up section of the street. The short stretch on White street must be built if the ,,odified Robert street project is sdopted, since 1t provides the only outlet to the main carrier on Cooke street. The health officer in a communication to the board urged the construction of the sewer on the basis of several complaints re- ccived relative to overflowing cess pools.
