is almost entirely gone,' he said.
 The former mayor advocated q state sewage commission, "a com- mission that is absolutely free from political interference and unselfsh in it's attitude towards the interests of the people. Connecticut today is notorious for the fact that we have a czar-ridden central government"
 He predicted that the time would soon come when Connecticut would have to have a state water commis- sion as well, and added That ought to apply to water power of the state and not left to some politician to gobble up the water supply of our own streams and brooks"
 He explained that in emphasizing the need of purifying plant in each local industry, he was not making a drive against local indus tries. He advocated using some of the two million dollars for which a bond issue has been authorized to help the factories develop such dis posal systems.
 He pointed out that a new mu- nicipal trunk line sewer will be nec- cSsary within a few years. He said the sewer beds in Berlin today arc nothing but gigantic bluff, but later amplitied this statement by saying that they will be a bluff if continued under their present status.

MARY MELLISH ONE OF
 FOUR PERSONS RESCUED
Operatic Star and Husband Believed Among Those Pulled From
 Water at New London

New London, Aug. g P(-Mary Mellish. operatic soprano of the Metropolitan Opera company and her husband, Jay A. Mellish, of S12 Riverside Drive, New York. owner of the little black yacht Privateer, are believed to be two of the four persons who were saved from drowning in the harbor here Sunday night when a dinghy containing the four capsized.
 After two of the four had become exhausted and one of the two women had already sunk below the surface twice. the four were rescued by the hoo of Wilmington, Del. with the heroic assistance of young man said to be a Princeton student. He jumped overheard and held the woman who was in the most danger, while a line was thrown to the two from the yacht
 In the excitement which followed the rescue. together with the semi hysteria prevailing on the part of those rescued. the identity of the four was not learned by those aboard the Wahoo, attention being directed to taking the rescued back to their own craft for a change Of clothing.
 The only clue available today as to the party's identity was the hat of the Privateer's owner, which had been left aboard the Wahoo. The cap bore the Columbia Yacht club flag and inquiry at the club revealed that Mellish had left the club in charge of the yacht.
 The Privateer. bedecked with clothing hung in every available place for drying, pulled the dinghy aboard early yesterday morning and left this port. Her destination is not known here.
