"With the "tvinsr in" of Bridgeport's r
trunk line sewers on the west side of
the river, there will bo ready for op
eration the first unit of Bridgeport's
sewage disposal plant a unit that
represents the outlay or l,uuu,uuu
and that is unique in many respects.
The "tying in or connecting ot tne
trunk lines with the disposal plant
proper is a matter that rests with the
city engineer and while the definite
date has not been set, the action it is
understood, will be taken in the near
future. Although there is still some
finishing work in progress at the dis
posal plant-, it is ready for action
action that will take care of 40,000,
000 gallons of sewage in 24 hours.
The completion of the plant marks
tho end of two years work which his
been done by the Eastern Engineering
& Construction Company of which
William Shaughnessy is the head.
Howard Beers has been resident en
gineer in charge of the" work and the
thoroughness of it as well as the sat
isfactory progress which hs been
maintained from the start are to a
great degree, to his credit, Harold
Wilson, brother of Mayor Clifford B.
Wilson, and purchasing agent of the
Eastern Engineering & Construction
Company, must also come in for some
share of the credit for the work as
his connection with it entitles him to.
The first unit of Bridpeyorfs sys
tem which completed contemplates
an East Side plant that will in all
probability be a duplicate of the now
nearly finished West End plant, con
sists of three R and W- (Reinsh and
Wurl) revolving strainers, each hav
ing a 24-hour capacity of 2o million
gallons. At the. present time only
two of these are equipped and
ready for action, this number being
sufficient for a long time to meet
the needs of the West End section.
The nlant construction however, built
with a view to the future allows for
the third strainer which may be in
stalled very quickly and with a min
imum outlay of money and time.
One of "the unique features of the
Bridgeport plant is presented in the
strainers, so called They are the
largest in the United States, if not in
the world. Although New York, San
Francviseo, I.os Angeles, Denver and
other cities having similar plants are
now using strainers of 14 feet diam
eter. Bridgeport's is more than half
as large again, having a diametrical
measurement of 22 feet.
Another respect in which the
Bridgeport plant can unquestionably
lay claim to fame and a Bridgeport
construction company can share in the
credit for a great feat, is the caisson
which houses the plant This is the
largest that has ever been constructed
in the world, according to the engi
neers who were in charge and was
very largely a matter of experiment.
Having a diameter of 80 feet, the
caisson is sunk 50 feet and the oper
ating plant which rests on a founda
tion of a foot of concrete is actually
4 0 feet below the sea level. The
caisson walls are concrete, five feet in
tTn inlf rf.cs
Ono who would visit the plant?
which is erected at tho river end of
Bostwick avenue, would get the im
pression that he was about to enter a
library, rather than a sewage dis
posal plant. The outside finish of
red brick wiith an imitation jpaarblte
trim tor window ana aie wnne paint.
ed sashes set off the structure to the
very best possible effect.
Inside there is evident a dtesire to
make the place operate with the least
possible sign of the matter that is
passing through the processes arrang
ed. The large chambers in which the
sonas and liquids of sewage are sep
arated are of concrete and the
strainer3 have been set in thtese ba
sins. By the operation of revolving
brushes solid matters are earned to a
cone shaped ehute and by pipe line
thence to a flumping station outside
of the building. The matiter is forded
by compressed air. The arrangement
is such that wagons can be quickly
filled and the material camtea away.
Inasmuch as the plant is far below
the sea level the problem of disposing
of the water was not a small one, but
it has been successfully handled.
Great pipe lines which are filled from
the strainers are filled with com
pressed air and the water is forced
out to the edge of the channel. The
power plant for this part of the dis
posal consists of three 75 and three
150 horsepower motors, in units of
one of each and allowing 225 horse
power for each of the basins.
The solid matter which will be
taken from the plant will be prac
tically odorless. It will be fit in some
cases for fertilizer and in other in
stances will be used simply to fill low
and swampy places. There is a
likelihood that much land will be
quickly reclaimed without the ob
objections that would otherwise re
sult. So far as the removal of foreign
substances from the waters of the
harbor is concerned, it will have an
important bearing on the future of
the shell fish industry in this sec
tion. With the operation of the East
and West Side' plant waters off
Bridgeport will be free of the pollu
tion which has caused a storm of
protest for a long tim eand fish will
thrive.
In all the city official" believe that
the money spent in the plant has been
well invested and it is their intention
as soon as other more urgent mat
ters have been given attention and
the city can stand it financially to
proced with the second unit for the
East Side of the city.

FOX WINS JUDGMENT.
Judgment for the Alfred Fox Piano
Company of this city was rendered
today for $571.50 against the estate
of P. H. Fitzgibbons, of Milford. In;
1916 Fitzgibbons then alive and a
hotel proprietor purchased an elec
tric piano for which payment was not
made. It was claimed that the piano
was defective. The court ruled that
the defendants had ample time to
determine this fact within a period
allowed by tho contract and should
have done so.
