already laid and to be laid within the

OLD SYSTEM is NOW
A SOURCE OF MUCH EXPENSE

The old system is entirely Inadequate.
Each year its upkeep costs more until
it has become a considerable item in
the annual budget. 1t would be the
economical measure to build as much
new sewer now as can be done, to stop
an expense for sewer relief which is
only temporary money thrown away
in repairing the old system.

1 New York, June 23--A switch from Gov. smith to William G. McAdoo after the first ballot was predicted to- day among the Connecticut delegates who are here to attend the democratic national convention.
 There appears To be little question that the Nutmeg state will register a heavy ballot for the governor of New York when the first vote is taken. but it is also expected that the turn over 10 McAdoo will follow.
 The Connecticut delegation dined this morning at the McAlpin as the guests of Homer Cummings. Gov. smith was enthusiastic at the eApres- sions of the delegates as was Mrs. Laura P. Mangan of New Britain. Conn, staunch Smith supporter who declares she will stand by the New York governor just as long as he is in the running.
 Nhisperings Of Homer Cummings national committeeman, as a dark horse" candidate were heard through out the Connecticut headquarters to- day with the natural but far fetched belief that he might be successful.
 Visitors 10 headquarters this morn- ing included Henry McMahon and Fred Prltchard of Now Britain. Judge w. F, Mangan also of New Britain. is expected tonight.
