SAYS CAT bite IS
WORSE Than Dogs
Health Superintendent Issues Dog
Day Warning to Public

Cats are more dangerous than dogs.
according to q statement made this
morning by DR.. r. w. Pullen, super
intendent of health, In warning is
sued to the public of New Britain
relative to the dangers of the so-called
Dog Days"
DR.. Pullen says there is danger of
rabies the entire year around and that
practically all animals are subject to
them every month In the year al
though during the hot months OF sum-
mer there are more reports than at
any other time.
Next to the bite of .rabid wolf
the bite of cat that has gone mad
is the most dangerous according to
DR.. Pullen, who quoted from other
authority on the subject. DR.. Pullen
also states that 1t Is a serious mis-
take to Immediately kill the animal
which infiicts bite as in that case the
only evidence of possible develop
ment OF rabies and the definite knowl-
edge of the most advisable treat
ment for the patient is destroyed.
If bitten by dog or cat persons
should get into touch at once with
the department Of health, the super
intendent advises. The department or
the dog warden will Immediately ar
range to have an expert see the dog or
cat and have 1t placed under observa-
ton. ltS

PUMPING STATION
READY FOR ACTION
Prevents Scarcity Of Water in
New Britain During Summer

The pumping station recently in
stalled by the board of public works
at Bristol to provide water for the
city of New Britain has proven ade-
quate in its test and is ready for use
at any time in an emergency. accord
ing to a report which will be submit
ted by City Engineer Joseph D. Will
liams to the water commissioners.
A significant fact in connection with
the test and the report Is that al
though there has been more or less of
a drought this summer in New Brit
ain, Shuttle Meadow reservoir has
had from rs to 80 feet of water at all
times and at no time has there been
any danger of a scarcity.
The report follows:
August 8. 1928.
Board of Water Commissioners,
City of New Britain, Conn.,,
Dear Sirs:-
Under your instructions I have ex-
ercised the option to operate the
pumping equipment installed by the
Worthington Pump and Machinery
corporation for period of 30 days
with As days after the completion of
the official tests. The official tests
being complete June IS, this period
expired August g. The full "a hours
per day operation was begun July
and ended July 80. Day operation
was continued to August 8. The equip
ment was operated by two men fur
nished by the Worthington plants and
an operator taught by them.
The machinery performed very sat
isfactorily, becoming more economical
as the bearings, packings, etc, work
ed in. On Wednesday representa-
tive of the Worthington company ran
further economy tests and reported
an increase of AZ per cent over the
official tests. No mechanical defects
of any kind developed, the principal
difficulty being air leakage in the sue
ton pipe caused by loosening OF
joints from settlement of the fill with
the lowering of the water level in the
ground. This main was dug up. the
joints frightened and the pipe support
ed on concrete. The elimination Of
this trouble improved the pump oper-
alton. From 6 p. m. Saturday, July
II, to 4 a. m. Monday, July 80, a pc
Rod of 37o hours, the plant ran con-
tinuously without a stop for any cause
Meter records at the pumping sta
ton show that from July 6 to August
6 the pump delivered into the mains
a total of 50,063,ooo gallons of water.
The meter on the main from Wing
willie showed delivery to the city
mains of 76,421,0o gallons from July
Is to August /. During this period
the reservoir at Whigville was drawn
down SIS feet, the reservoir at VOL
colt 2.5 feet, while Shuttle Meadow
reservoir the main at the full mark
or the entire period. This would in
dicate that the flow from Whigville,
he flow from Wolcott and the pump
ng at Forestville furnished sufficient |
water to take care of the city plus
evaporation for the Shuttle Meadow
AXE surface. In the fall of 1918 |
Shuttle Meadow was drawn down at
rate greater than 1 inch per day in
