 Houses for Insurance

YALE PROFESSOR
 SPEAKS 0N WATER
Urges Use Of MerrimaC River
 Supply for Boston

Hartford. March UP)-Profe5- sor C. F. A. Winslow. Yale Medical school health authority, today en- dorsed a plan for obtaining the Bos- ton water supply by purifying the Merrimac river.
 Testifying before Special Master Charles W. Bum, hearing the Con- necticut Massachusetts supreme court controversy over proposed di- version of the Swift and Ware rivers, Connecticut tributaries. Winslow said the Merrimac plan, advanced by Connecticut, was commendable on three grounds. safe water, econo- my and water conservation policy.
 PurifiCation of the Merrima:'s water according to Connecticut 5 plan, the professor said. would pro- vide Boston with an adequate sup ply of water which would be better than that now used and purer thsa most cities in the United States.
 Other scheme Adopted
 The proposed alternative to using the swift and Ware rivers in west ern Massachusetts provided for an aCqueduct from Tyng's Island Q Boston. with a storage reservoir anl chlorinization plant halfway.
 The city of Lawrence (Mass.) is now drawing it's water supply from the Merrinac with less equipment than was proposed in the Connec.i- cut plan,' Winslow said.
 Asked if an increase in the ty- phod rate would follow use of river water, he replied that Lawrence has one of the lowest typhoid rates n the country.
 The city of Lawrence uses only two steps, storage and chlorinization, and yet has water which the Massi- chusetts department of health des- cribed as better than that now used in metropolitan Boston, the witness asserted.
 Lists Worse Conditions
 Winslow listed Philadelphia, Kan sas City, Albany. Indianapolis and | Youngstown as cities which drew water from worse supplies than the Merrimac and obtained satisfactory water by using only two of the puri- flcation methods included in the Connecticut plan. ,zy. .-.
 Storage, he said, brings out 9S per cent of the injurious bacteria, filtra- ton go per cent of the remainder and chlorinization the rest.
 The Connecticut plan, he testified, would enable Massachusetts to draw S15, 100000 gallons of water per day, the amount which experts tes- tificd Boston would need in 1870.

BOOM IN BUILDING

Some Construction Under Way Rent Shortage in Kensington
TOWN TO RECEIVE S3,592
Total of State Aid Grant Announced ID. A. k. Names Delegates Henry Niildrl1m Takes New Posi- tion-Berlin Items.

With two dwellings and one large store plant under construction, Der lin is looking forward to d spring building boom. In Kensington, ad- joining the Pinches work working plant, tho Nichols Roofing Co. of Bridgeport has almost completed the construction of large storage plant. For the past several weeks workers have been busy erecting the frame work and sheet metalling the sides and the roof. In dimensions the building will rival d good sized aero- plane hangar, being about 50 feet wide by more than 200 feet long The Nichols Roofing company has several such structures in the state storing material in each ono for easier shipping to various points.
 Work on the construction of a bungalow on the location formerly occupied by the old Rich house or Berlin street is now well under way The foundation has been almost completed. The building is being constructed by Miss Alta Judd ol Berlin.
 Another residence is being built on Seymour road. Work on it has been stopped temporarily but will be resumed as soon as weather per mits.
 The second house on Widen road to be occupied by a New Britair family, has been taken over by Johl P. O'Neil of New Britain, who vii shortly make his home there.
 A complaint which has been cm. phasized by many leading residents of the town, that there is q short. age of rents here, seems 10 be borne out by the fact that there are yer! few flor rent signs visible. Father John C. Brennan has stated that ht is almost afraid of performing mar liages, for with each wedding tht town loses one if not two inhabi tants. This is laid by him to the fact that the lack of rents cause: the young married couples 10 leave the town seeking homes in New Britain where there are many rent available. kensington is admitted ly overcrowded and no now homes are being constructed. In Berlil there are very few rents for mos of the residents own their owl homes in that district.
 Within the last two years Berlil has witnessed an almost unprece dented building boom, houses hay ing sprung up along the New Brit ain road and Pennington avenue This has enumerated the results o the depression in the brick industr. which caused many brick workers t' move out of town. As brick worker are said to be a wandering type the present residents who hav taken their places and have bull their own homes will do the tow moro good, it is claimed, for the are of the sort who will remain re gardless of industrial conditions.
 S3,o82 for Schools
 The sum of s3,592 will be recciv cd by the Berlin school departmen his year as state aid grant, ac Cording 10 figures released by tn state board of education. A total o SS56,341 is available for this pur pose and is distributed on a basi of the school enumeration in tn various towns.

Sam Langford, with his barrel

vorite among the white heavy
weights of his day. The Boston tar
taby was just too tough.
When Than did fight the white
bows he had 10 be very careful at
times. Negroes we're easily boy
cotted by the ~topnotchers. SO sam
did his special and particular work
on members OF his own race.
He had a large colored gentle
man in the ring as an opponent in
Boston one night and the crowd ex-
pected more than a punch or two
for its money. Sam didn't dare hit
his rival with a right or the fight
would have ended abruptly there.
So he settled down TO practice left
iabs until everyone was satisfied
and the job could be finished.

A GENTLE odor OF agsing cheese
exudeS from the contract Max
Schmeling was forced to sign IN
New York for his fight with Jack
Sharkey. On the face Of it. it looks
as If the New York Boxing Com
mission were really another name
for the Madison Square Garden syn
dicate OF millionaires.
The first stipulation III the con-
tract is: That he defend his title
IN NEW YORK within a year ii
ne defeats Sharkey. Pretty soft for
the millionaire syndicate.
No. 2-That he meet an oppon-
ent approved by the commission.
What right has a state boxing com
mission TO make any such demand
as this? We would even question
the authority OF the N. .. "A. 10
make any such demand Is this.
When a mar Is champion, he should
have the right TO meet whom he

CEPTABLE TO THE COMMIS-
SION. OF course. that couldn't pos
sibly be Mr.. Carey OF the Garden.
Under one Interpretation. these
