"Dry Wells" Called Illegal Holcomb said that representatives of the builders are digging "dry wells" and connecting the septic tanks to them to temporarily relieve the overflow. They are being dug on township land. Commissioner Russell Walker said this is a violation of state law. Mayor Julius Engel told the residents that if they saw any more such digging to call police, who would be under his orders to stop it. The Stephenville complaint was brought before the commission last week by Donald Campbell, who charged that 24 septic tanks are overflowins.

Only 48 houses are occupied. He demanded that the township stop construction of about 200 more homes being built in the development until an adequate sanitary system is found. Last night all 48 home owners of the development were present or represented. Many were represented by Joseph H. Miller.

New Brunswick attorney. He charged that septic tanks in all of the! houses ere overflowing or that 1 'w their contents back up Into th bathtubs or overflow through the A CURTIS PUBLICATION plumbing fixtures into the houses. Frank P. Tufaro, president of the Terra Nova Construction Com pany, the builders, admitted in reply to a question from Miller that "I do not have the answer to the problem." Following the meeting last week, Mayor Engel Instructed Thomas Hanson, township attor ney, to check into legal means of halting the building. Hanson reported last night that spent all day last Thursday in Trenton going over the problem with state health officials.

He said the state Board of Health is wait ing for tests to determine the height of the water table, the degree to which the ground will absorb moisture, the topography of the area and other items. When this is received, Hanson said, the township will have a scientific basis for Its actions.

Tufaro denied charges made by residents that he ignored their complaints. He said his organization has pumped out septic tanks when asked. He said that before starting the houses he made all of the tests required by the F.H.A.

and received from that agency permission to install the tanks. He disputed Miller's charge that septic tanks in all of the 49 occu pied houses are overflowing. Miller asked residents who had trouble to raise their hands. Mayor Engel counted 20. Many of the residents were in the hall outside of the jammed commission chambers.
