WATER VILE
THOMASTON AVE
 SEWER IS LIKELY
Would Be Laid When New
 Road is Built By ' State

The Thomaston avenue sewer again came up for discussion at this weeks meeting of the board of public works. Last year it was voted to construct this badly need ed lateral from Homer street to Driggs street and funds were set aside for the purpose. This action was taken to relieve the extremely unsanitary condition at Haase and ShcfieM street where -overfowing cesspools were creating a serious health hazard. The. ThomastDII avenue carrier was necessary < to perform an outlet. After the Haase street and Sheffield street sewers were laid, it was decided as tenn porary expedicnt, to construct a storm water drain in Thomaston avenue along the frontage of the plumbers brass division of the Sco- will Manufacturing company con meeting with, the private sanitary sewer of that concern which cmpties into the Naugatuck river. The plan was adopted to save the expense of constructing the large sewer on Thomaston avenue until it had been determined what could be done about repairing that stree: since it was felt to be unwise to go to the expense and inconveni- ence of opening the thoroughfare if 1t were to be torn up again in the near futule. Because of these facts it was considered justifia ble to temporarily use a storm water Graim for sanitary purposes, a practice not legally permissa ble.
 Conditions this year make the construction of the main lateral even more imperative but the city Is endeavoring to save expense by waiting until the state highway de- partment starts the Thomaston avenue project when 1t will be more economical to place the sew CT at the. same time. The board. having been assured unofficially that the road construction may start this year voted to proceed with the sewer installation at that time.

 & New Water Main
 More Waterville water mains were ordered re-laid at last nights meeting of the board of commis- sioners of public works when resi- dents of Manville street and Pat terson court appeared before the board to report g decided lack of water pressure during the past week. It is assumed that corrosion of the present mains is responsible and the superintendent of water was instructed to investigate im- mediately and if relaying of mains Is necessary to proceed with the work without delay. The situation is serious one to the twelve fam flies residing on Patterson court and to the ten on Manville street
