 blocked with the debris of the fallen

CONN. WELLS RELICS OF OLD DAYS
Government Bulletin Says 80 Per
 Cent. Are of Old Dug Type.


 That about 80 per cent of the wells of Connecticut are admirable relics of earliest days" but are being imi- tated now with little regard for sani- tary and economic considerations is one of the striking statements made in a bulletin issued today by the United States Geological Survey, en- titled, Ground Water in the Hart ford, Stamford, Salisbury. Willimantic and Sayibrool1 areas, Connecticut"
 Nearly so per cent. of the wells in Connecticut" says the survey "are of the old dug type, lined and, if covered at all, provided with loose leaky curbs. Sanitary precautions are necessary not only in caring for dug wells but also in caring for springs and drilled wells. Springs are eSpec- fally susceptible to pollution because the water issues at the surface and face drainage can readily enter the concrete reservoirs and should be kept covered, and the water should be drawn from delivery pipes. Such equipment is not necessarily elaborate or expensive. It is important only to exclude surface drainage and prevent contamination either by persons or animals, and it should be borne in mind that contamination is possible whenever access to the stored water is possible. Drilled wells properly constructed by reliable drilIers exclude surface water. If the well castings are properly set and. the pump fittings are tight, such wells are in little dan ger of pollution

 With this agreement between them the defendant company accepted the contract and agreed to fulfill it ac- cording to the terms, the contract be- ing delivered to the Hopkins & Allen Co., May TO, 1915, which informed the plaintiff hat it was manufacturing the rifles.
 The defendant company continued to SO inform Michaelis until the fol- lowing September. when he was noti- fed that the company had not man CtacturcQ any or the TlFeS ana OI0 not intend to do so. At that time the plaintiff was unable to secure an other manufacturer to supply the weapons under the contract and be- cause of the defendants failure to carry out the contract and because of It's false and misleading statements to the effect that the contract was being performed, tIbe plaintiff lost the op- pOrtunity to secure fulillment of the contract with a loss of $1.000,000.

PRESIDENT REA
OFFERS REMEDY
Urges Railway Mail Pay Bill
Be Sent to Interstate Com
miSSionerS

Washington, ID. c., March 22.-Presi-
dent Samuel Rea. of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, yesterday urged the consid-
GRAFTON and settlement of the railway
mail pay bill to the Interstate Com
merce Commission. Other railroad
officials took the same attitude.
The position of President Rea is
that assumed by virtually all the rail-
roads-that the question is one involv-
ing intricate rate-making and one with
which the Interstate Commerce Com
mission is peculiarly and exclusively
qualified to deal.
"As you may know" declared Mr..
Rea, Il am a thorough believer in the
public regulation of railroads. The
people, through Congress. long ago de-
cided that the only fair way to settle
questions as to what the railroads
ought to be paid for their services was
TO have some impartial body do it.
One Long Dispute
The question of pay for mail trans
portation has been subject of dispute
and controversy for thirty or forty
years. Neither the railroads nor the
Post Office Department have ever been
satisfied.
"One of the greatest objections that
/ could possibly name to the mail pay
legislation that is pending before you
is that it would not settle these differ
ences. but would only intensity them.
THE solution that l suggest is this:
Turn the whole matter over to the
Interstate Commerce Commission. Let
the commission study it carefully, and
then advise Congress as to what
changes are required in the method of
pay or the rates

$50 Driven From Homes
by Flood at UniOntOWn
BY Associated Press

Pittsburgh, Pa, March %. - Re-
ports from Western Pennsylvania and
Northern West Virginia to-day told
of flooded streams and interruption to
railroad and street car traffic because
of heavy rains and melting snow. AT
Uniontown, Pa, Redstone creek rose
so rapidly that fully $50 families were
driven from their homes, and water to
a depth of eight feet surrounded the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad station.
Much damage was done in the Con-
neIlsville coke region, miners in some
instances being driven from the pits
by rising water. In the vicinity of
Wheeling, w. Va, bridges and trolley
lines were washed out and many small
streams overflowed their banks.
Operations in mills and factories were
curtailed because workmen were un-
able to reach the places of their en-
ployment.
