T am forced to draw the con-

T am forced to draw the con- clusion, after carefully reading the article i'll your paper, that your rep resentative from the few questions which he asked and his superficial examination of the map, drew a warranted by fact, were untrue, and that he then attempted to ascrlbe the authorship of unwarranted COIL clusions which he drew to the writer Here is a sample. The article states that Engineer Holden explained that the city's interest is remote one. New Britain secures all of its water from Burlington Brook and the streams in that locality, all of which are located in the general direction of Pennington river east branch. Hartford has been taking it's water and constructing it's dams on the west branch, far removed from New Britain sources
 Until that part of the proposed program for additional water sup ply of the city of New Britain af- fecting the Burlington Brook is carried out, the city of New Britain will not secure any water from the Burlington Brook Even if your representative does not know of the Whigville reservoir. the Woloc;t reservoir and the pumping station located at Whites Bridge in the town of Bristol surely he ought to that that there is New Britain reservoir, called the shuttle Meadow reservoir. l also showed your rep resentativc where our proposed Burlington shed actually adjoined the Nepaug shed Of the Hartford system.
 T will not take up space 10 an swer the other misstatements.
 The City of Hartford has about 42. .004. 0D0 gallons of water per day available at the present time with a daily draft of about 17.oo0.000 gal Ions. This shows that at the present time Hartford is using only about forty-one (4D per cent of its deVel- oped supply and yet, although Hartford has a margin of tifty-nlne (59) per cent, the officials Of inc City of Hartford are farsighted enough to realize that, with the an- ticipated growth of the section serv- cd bv the Hartford water supply system and in order 10 assure an ad- ditonal supply Of water that will De potable when it is needed, they must start a sufficient length or tune ahead of the time of need 10 meet that demand when it will arrive which time is when the limit of the pre- sent supply will be reached.
 "The City Of New Britain has about reached the limit of its present developed supply With the proposed additional supply fully de- veloped which will give a daily sup pv Of 1S.00G. 900 gallons New Britain and the surrounding which it fur nishos will then be using about 50 per cent of it's total water re- sources as against Hartford using only about fl per cent Of its present water supply resources, and yet the officials Of the City Of Hartford are far sighted enough to prepare 10 look ahead for the future in order that they may keep faith with the neoplo who have chosen them 10 lcok after their interests.
 "Nr. Allan Hagen in his report on Additional Water supply for the Citv of New Britain. referring to New Britain's present plan for addl- tional water supply made the fol- lowing statement:
 "'And when the water now pro- posed is all used. there is stll plenty of water in the hills beyond. It is still a long way in the future,
