might be successfully consummat- cd at the losS session of tho gen. erai assembly, and it was felt ad- visabie to defer the action until tho road reconstruction was nssur- cd 50 that it would be unnecessary to tear open the highway twice. The Haase street was temporarily Abated by building sewers In Haaso and Sheffield streets and di- verting tho sewage through now storm water drain in Thomaston avenue and the private sewer of the Plumbers Brass Goods division of the scovili. Manufacturing com-
 The instructions for the instaila- tion Of the sewer call for it's con- struetion between the points al- ready authorized, Homer to Driggs street, but 1t is expected that hearings will Do held on it's exten- sion south of Homer street to tho curve below the last house and north of Driggs street to the last house above Fort Hill avenue, 50 that the sewer may be extended to cover the entire section of tho sewage disposal facilities. Such ac- ton will make it unnecessary tQ reopen the new pavement after it has been laid. All property ownors will also be expected to replace, if necessary, their gas or water mains.
 The construction of the Thomas ton avenue sewer will Do ono of the most extensive and difficult tasks undertaken by the city engineering department In several years. The thirty-six inch water main from the Wigwam reservoir runs beneath the highway and must be carefully safeguarded during tho construo- ton period since any damage to It would be most dangerous to tho health of large section of tho city. To compiicate the situation tho main follows the irregular course of tho old town highway which will make the straightllne of the sewer more difficult. The presence of quicksand at several spots is known to the engineers and this situation will have to be contended with and met quickly.
 The work will involve the re- movai of tho Connecticut company tracks in Thomaston avenue and bus service will be substituted over that area. Whether or not the tracks will be reiaid after the highway is constructed is still an undetermined problem.
 The highway construction will also solve another difficult Waters vile problem~-that of propea storm water drainage of the Thoms> aston avenue Homer street inters section which becomes a veritabla lake after each heavy rain storm. It is expected that a proper ana thoroughly adequate disposal sys. tenn will be constructed at thas point.
