BOND ISSUE WASTED QU|GLEY DECLARES No Use in Spending Money on
 Sewage Disposal
 MUST ELIMINATE WASTE
Without Doing Away With Factory Chemicals in Disposal Plants Ef- fort to Take Care of Domestic Waste is Futile.


 Spending two million dollars for an extension of the New Britain sewer beds would be a waste of money. unless some plan is devised whereby the chemicals and acids from factories are removed from the sewage first, according to Forml Mayor George A. Quigley, who spoke on this subject at a meeting of the Lions club today.
 Mr. Quigley opened his address by denying that he was playing politics and by stating frankly that he has TO ambitions to become mayor of the city again.
 Tn discussing city problems by one who has been in the city gov ernnent. the suspicion often arises that the person discussing them is playing politics" he said. This is not true Il this case. I have no aspirations to be mayor of New Brit ain again. What I say is not to be construed as criticism of the city government but simply from my in terest in the city in which 1 was born"
 He continued to explain that no citizen wishes to hold up eXpendi- the expenditure is to be a benefit and not a waste.
 Tt is utterly foolish 10 do any thing to our sewer beds until we separate our trade waste from our domestic sewage" he continued. Explaining the theory of filtera- !, ton and the removal of typhoid and other poisonous clements from sew age by bacterial activities he said. When you place in domestic sew age cyanide of potassium, muriatic acid and other chemicals you kill the life of the sewage.
 Each manufacturing plant in the community must have a reclamation plant or disposal plant of it's own.
 Must Remove Chemicals
 "I don't know whether they can take all the chemicals out of the sewage or not, but if they cant then don't appropriate your money. Unless you take out these chemicals 10 puriication is possible"
 Under the present system Mir. Quigley stated that the city is not recovering the entire amount of its sewage. He said the removal of the chemicals would permit the saving of sewage which could be turned into a. commercial fertilizer which would bring in $500 a day. now going to waste.
 He said New Britain. Hartford, Bridgeport, Stamford and other cit ies by not taking the chemicals out of the sewage are destroying their streams and running shore property. Long Island Sound is becoming a cesspool, the fishing industry is being ruined and the shell fishing industry
