 Sewerage Question
 A proposal to be presented to the voters of the town for installation of sewerage system in Terryville is being considered and 1t is thought likely such a proposition will be brought before the voters within a few months.
 Dr. Richard Lawton, health of- fcer of Plymouth, in his annual re- port predicts Plymouth will be oblig- ed to install a sewerage system in Terryville within short time, due to the pressure which the city of Bristol will use in their efforts to have the Pequabuck river, which starts in this town and in which considerable of Terryville's sewer age now empties, clean up of rub bish. The Pequabuck river flows through the center of Bristol and has long been health question in that city.
 Several times in the past, steps have been taken to start move ment for the installation of a sew craze system in Terryville, but each time the proposition has been side tracked. A survey of the town was made at one time for sewerage disposal system with the sewerage beds to be located near the rail- road tunnel in PeQuabuck. This movement was finally dropped. It is estimated such a system at pres- ent would cost at least $3O0,O with the cost being raised by separate tax against the section of the town which would benefit from such an improvement.
