At last it seems probable that the difficulties in the way of carrying out a scheme of sewerage and sewage disposal for the village of Badsey will disappear. The matter has been before the district council and the parish now for a good many years, the chief obstacle being, as in all cases of a similar nature, that of cost. It was thought possible at one time to effect all the necessary improvements by means of a scheme to be carried out piecemeal and paid for out of current rates, but this has been abandoned, and a loan is to be applied for. the engineers will see that as economical a scheme as possible is prepared, and it is hoped the Local Government Board will not insist upon a number of unnecessary and expensive additions.
