A resolution to that effect was | D- ain_ taken up by referred to the board of water commissioners, and a preliminary report made at a financial town meeting May 12, 1914, the board stating that the question of the final disposal of the sewage is of the utmost importance, as upon this will depend the success or failure of a project in- volving a large expenditure of money. Engineer Thomas McKenzie have devoted much time to the work, visiting many sewage plants, and, after thorough investiga- tion, will report to the town meeting. It was necessary to make new plans ;fl':olinturmue in street grades since The territory to be covered by the proposed new system is practically M part of the town within the boundaries of the Westerly fire dis- trict, and provision has been made in the plans for the construction of sew- ers in nearly all of the streets within thie propose ddistrict. The distance of piping is about 12 miles and the esti- mated cost of that part of the system is $119,782, The estimated cost of the entire sys- tem, as given by the engineer, is $163,- 526. To this estimate must be added the cost of the land and rights of way which, together with many inci- dentals that eventually enter into a project of this magnitude, would prob- ably cause the expenditure of approxi- mately $200,000. ra!gm, Heada Che, Congestion, P’lennsy,l Rheumatism, anbago Pains and Aches | of Back or Joints, Sprai Sore Mus- | cles, Bruises, Ch-lhlams, rosted Feet, Colds of the Chest (it often prevents St ro Sraguietn, i 2ic and S0e Jars | t your druggist’s, in jars, and a special large hospital size for $2.50. | ' -Be st sure you get the genuine MUS-| sl AT M TEROI‘:F?
