W. F. Frazier, in Word and Way, a
Baptist paper published at Kansas
City, Missouri, has made an investi-
gation5of the religious affiliations Of
Che members Of the Missouri Legis-
lature, and gives the number belong

STATE HEAL I'll BOARD URGES
 CONTROL OF THE POLLUTION
 OF STREAMS IN CONNECTICUT

Hartford, April 16.-Coutro1 of the pollution of the streams of the state is declared to be an urgent need in Connecticut by the state board of health in it's monthly bulletin issued to-day. It is admitted the bulletin says that Connecticut is behind other progressive states in the matter and things be done to prevent further seonfamination. It continues:
 se Giving the state 4boards of health power to require a community to re- move its sewage from a stream it may be- polluting is objected to on the ground that such power may be abused, would be arbitrary or radical. Such objection would apply to any board or committee that has author Ity for the betterment of conditions. Objections are also Nraised by some manufa ctdrers against any bill that looks in the direction of purifying our water courses. based upon their manifest unreadiness to any change in the disposal of factory wastes. These obJectors fail to appreciate two facts, first, methods of disposal of $ wastes without contaminating the streams have been found feasible in
 many places and second, that it is agHeed by all that the time will come Ain the near future when the public ssuilI enforce it's demand that sewage and factory wastes will not polIute Ehe streams. This demand has aris- Zen practically all over the civilized world and it has already brought leg station in many states in this country sand Europe.
 The demand in Connecticut Is growfng each year and legislation is 4nevitab1es Experience has shown hat the longer the delay the more aifHcult becomes the solution and the 53rs[ lao cIcfS would be less difficult and less expen- sive to prevent further contamination sof the rivers, if done at once,- than to letgs the. increasing contamination

go on a few years when it would be very difficult and very expensive to bring them back to even the present condition of purityss The public de- mand is increasing and the quicker it is recognized the less will be the trou- ble laid up for the future
 s@The purpose of the bill before the legislature will enable cities and man ufacturers to so plan their waste dis posal that it will not he interfered with by future legislation. It will enable the state board to assist the communities that are trying to solve this problem, not to harm them, and at the same time to prevent fur ther pollution and to look toward an improvement of present conditions as fast as is feasible. In many states where such power has been given to the board of health, it has always been found that it is used wisely and there is no reason for believing it will not b so used in our state.'
