Sudbury, August 17th.
An examination was made of the proposed site for the sewage disposal plant at Sudbury. The suggested location of the plant about 1,000 feet from the railway tracks and in a low area subject to floods during the spring months was not approved of. Upon examination it seemed advisable to change the location of the disposal works considerably, involving the construction of a pumping station. The change was recommended in view of the fact that during the spring freshets, under the original arrangement, the main trunk sewer would be backed up several thousand feet, which would probably occasion a considerable deposition of solids in the sewer; under the suggested arrangement this should not occur.
