Commissioner Lawlor said that sewers were badly needed on the two streets In question, and asserted that 1t was of the utmost importance that the sewers be laid there as soon as possible. The South Waterbury sec- ton merits the improvements, he said Property owners from the two streets appeared to support the sewer proposal, with only one prop erty owner yoicing opposition. The sewers will be laid on Edir street from Tracy avenue to Baldwin street, and on Baldwin avenue from Bald win street to Piedmont street.
 Watertown Avenue
 Twenty -one property owners on Watcrtown avenue appeared to oppose the proposed sewer for that street, while only three appeared m favor. The board, nevertheless, or- dered the sewer laid, since 1t is held to be major necessity. Private sewers arc now used by some of the property owners, but 1t was de" clared that the sewage Is pollutins the river and that the private con- nections will be ordered discontin- ued by the State Board of Health,
 After public hearings the board also ordered the following sewers laid Geddes terrace from Rockland avenue to Hawthorne avenue; Ben- nett street from Highland avenue westerly 32S feet; Wilkenda avenue from Highland avenue to Ruth street; Burr street from Geddes terrace to Norton street; Farming ton avenue from l60 feet north oi Fleming street to Roseland avenue: t: Chase avenue from l60 feet east ci Cooke street. easterly 320 feet.
