A SEWER til'ESTION.
Some Main Street Kieklus; Over Assess,
incuts to Oet Sewerage into the River.
Statement of the Law and Fact In the
Case
The bailiffs are to give hearing
this evening on tho appeal of some of
the Main street property ownors from
tho assessment for tho new Fewer laid
tho past summer ulong the rivor
bank, into which all the sewers from
Main street are required to empty, as
also do the Green., Elliot, Frost and
Flat street and Estcyvillo and Meehan
ie.s Square sewers. The now sewer.
beginning back of the tovrn and ruu
ninir down as far as the railroad arch
is about 850 long and the cost of $885 is
assessed upon the Alain street property
to the amount of about 2& mills on
tho $1. of the grand list. The cost of
tho completion of the improvement.
carrying the sewerage, thus all brought
together, in a 12 inch pipe 132 feet
out into the current of tho Connecticut
is to bo borne by the village. This is
to bo done as soon as low water w
permit, as it is designed to have it
low enough so that ice and logs will
not interfere with it.
Of course there is no dispute that
it is a great improvement, for the old
sewers, emptying from live to leet
from the edge of tho water, made
horrible mess in summer time and
much of the sewerage which got into
the stream was carried back into
pool by the eddv forming at the mouth
of the Whetstone. Ur. .Miller, as
health officer, condemned it and notified
the bailiffs and selectmen and also the
proprerty holders, all in writing, that it
must bo remedied.
Tho kiclt against the assess inert,
however, is based first on the claim
that all this work was in the nature of
an improvement or repairs of existing
sewers and so to be paid for by the
village: and, second, on the claim
that it is unjust because the assess
iiient is all placed on Main street and
all the rest of the village empties into
it free. The haunts in replv say that
when Dr.Miller ordered the work to be
luiie. there were just two ways of do
ing it. one hi constructing tins sewer
for sewers on the bank as thev did. the
' other running it down Main street
itself. If they hud (lone the latter,
which would have cost hvo timen as
much, (here would have been no doubt
but that Main street would have to
pay it. The assessment was all placed
on .Main street because, it is the only
property in the village that has not
paid sewer assessments. True, the
owners have all built private sewers,
but the least that could have been
done, under Dr. Miller's orders, was
to compel each one to extend out to
the current, which would have had to
be done every spring after ice and log
time and been far more expensive ult
mately, than the plan adopted.
As to the law, Act 170 of the last
legislature amending our charter
provided that "Every person whose
particular drain or sewer pipe shall
nerrartter enter any common sewer or
main drain previously built shall be
liuble"for his share of tho cost. This
would seem to cover it.
One suggestion about the matter is
to carry the wholo thing over until
next year, and then run tho sewer fur
ther along the bank so as to clear up
the sewerage of the whole of the north
fart of the village. But that would
make the expense to the Main street
property still heavier than is proposed
now.

kett's Singing Skule" was held in the
Congregational chnpel Wednesday
evening, with Uov. JlolbrooR singing
the hatone. tho lirst time ho has done
so for 10 years. The chorus is a large
one reminding of tho palmy days of
the Urattleboro choral union which was
second to none in the Connecticut
vallov. The work taken up Wednesdnv
night was "old fugie" music, tho
style Bung by our ancestors 100 or 150
years ago, in which tho parts are
chasing one another. It is proposed
to have the concert within tho next

come to the chapel next Monday even
ing at i :.iu o clock when tho second

opera houso, but failing in that the
bkule' will go to the Armory or
soino church. Tho chorus will bo in
charge of L. W. Hawley with Gov,

of tho entertainment is that Dame
Plunkett is teaching tho Bchoo!, to
which pupils enter ono by one, and
there aro a lot of visitors who, true to
nature, can tell her all about how to
run the school, and the result is both
recitative and musical, and intensely
amusing in boln lines, as they are
called up singly in dueU". trios, quar
tets aud chorus. Tho "Skule" has
been given with great Boceees in a
number of places, Springfield and
Northampton among them.
