FRANKLIN HAS GROUND
 WATER SUPPLY
Is Included in Latest Report of the
 U. S. Geological Survey.


 The latest report by the United States Geological Survey regarding Connecticut's reserve water supply Is entitled Ground Water in Hartford Salisbury. Stamford and Willimantic Areas. In addition to general infor- nation in regard to the occurrence of ground water. its use in public and private supplies, and the methods of developing ground-water supplies, this report contains detailed ground-water maps and special reports on the wa ter supplies of the towns of Wind ham, Franklin and Old Lyme.
 In the large stream valleys of Con- necticut there are deposits of coarse sediments that will yield sufficient water for city and village supplies, and at other places in the state there are less extensive deposits that will lages near by. The largest cities probably can not be adequately SUD- piled by ground water. but many communities that require wate~ in moderate quantities could obtain il economically from this source. which would also supplement the water SUD- plies of the large cities.
 In view of the rapid growth of many of the cities in the state and the ex- tensive appropriation of surface wa ters in certain regions it is distinctly encouraging to find these statements States Geological Survey reports or the water resources of Connecticut

 Next in rank, come the contrfou- tens toward the $5,000 bond assumed by Connecticut as her share in the re- dUCtiCn of the remainder of the debt on Continental Hall. Of this amount, S. 41&.52 has been raised and paid Tn since this obligation was assumed two years ago. leaving on Mach 1 a bal ance to pay of S1.526.4S, though these figures are subject to correction by the treasurer general. as sometimes l the chapters forget to report their do- nations and sometimes they send them direct to Washington.
