COOPERATION IMPERATIVE

AlIoN lNILnAlANL
 Cities and towns in central Con necticut must in the future depend upon the resources of central Con- necticut to insure an adequate supply of drinking water. The grab princi pie cannot prevail if justice is to be done to all. We have no doubt that such disagreements as prevail LOW will be satisfactorily smoothed out.
 So far New Britain has endeavor- d to develop it's future water re- sources along the west bank of the Harrington river. Competent en- eineering opinion seems to give the impression that this is all that is lecessary within reasonable num- Der ot years. Hartford, on the other hand, seeks to develop the east bank of the Pennington, and on such huge scale as to dwarf New Britain S development on the west bank. This leads 10 the possibility that If in the future New Britain runs short of water and it would seem necessary to share the resources of the east bank it would be unable to do so be- cause of the action of Hartford.
 It may be that Hartford, after it's expensive development, might be willing to share it's good fortune with all cities and towns possessing less resources and needing water. At present it is already supplying small communities with water and has contracted to supply others. It could assist cities as well as towns in this manner It is difficult to visual ize a condition where one city, simply because of its financial ability, is able to obtain watersheds for itself and refusing to assist other cities who lack the water simply be- cause they were not in position to purchase large tracts of territory. The Legislature, we feel certain, would not permit an unjust appor- tionment on a basis of which city first seized the available watersheds
 If Hartford is to be permitted to 20 ahead with it's plans, including the construction of a huge storage reservoir at Bark hamstead, then an agreement with New Britain for a share in the water thus impounded when needed can well be regarded as the logical modus operandi
 Hartford is exercising foresight: it is resourceful; it has the wealth to carry out it's aims and it is enter- prlsing. It ought also to possess the spirit of fair play, and we believe it has this quality. There should be no difficulty in convincing the capital city that an agreement for other cities and towns to share in the pro- ceeds of it's endeavor is a fair met hod to eliminate their objections. The price of such service to other cities and towns necessarily would have to be regulated by the Legislature or by q body appointed for the purpose.
 The watersheds morally belong to all communities, regardless of which happens to be in a position to buy them up first. If one community. due to its size and wealth is able to be more enterprising than it's neighbors that is no reason why the others should be deprived of the just divi- sion of such an essential to human life as the water which has been placed where it ts for the use of all.

NEW ROADS HEREABOUTs

In the belief that any highway im- provements within 20 miles of New Britain is good reading for local autoists. 10 whom 20 miles is less than an hours driving, we print the following from the Meriden Journal to indicate that the going will be a bit better to the south of New Brit ain:
 Many Of our people are highly pleased over the $5o.00d improve ment to be made by the state to the Wallingford- -Northford road.
 This will become an important highway, linking the Boston Post road with the Middletown- New Haven road. It is to be a trunk highway and will not be an expense to the towns that will be greatly benefited. Just why the Meriden- Cheshire road couldn't be a trunk route instead of a state-aid propo- sition is something for Meriden and Cheshire to worry about.
 There is interest here in the new Terryville road and in improvements 10 the Naugatuck- Prospect and other roads in that territory.
 All these additions to the highway system will make for great motoring convenience and pleasant drives.
 As whole, city street in the state are in poor condition but the cities do not have the handy gasoline tax and other large revenue from motorists to work with.
