NURSERY OWNERS
 VOTE RESOLUTION
Protest Proposed Japanese Beetle
 Quarantine Ruling

New Haven. March 19 P-Eur- serymen who appeared at hearing upon the states proposal for state wide quarantine against the Jap anese beetle this summer. were unanimously opposed to it. at the Connecticut agricultural experiment station yesterday and expressed that opposition in the form of resolu- tion to be sent to the federal au- thorities at Washington.
 The issue was raised at the outset and 50 or more nurserymen present supported the resolution which was offeffred. asking the federal authori- ties to reconsider their quarantine order and have control established as it was last summer. The quaran- tine Of 1929 was along the Long Island shore from New Haven to the New York state line which was treated as one infested area. while other places in the state where the pest had appeared were treated as | isolated areas.
 The federal government can only establish quarantine at state border 1 points, leaving the state authorities the power of making the quarantine fit areas within the state. The Con- necticut authorities proposed a state wide quarantine in cooperative with the federal authorities. Now. in view of opposition Of the nursery men, it will do nothing until Wash ington decides upon action under the resolution to be sent.
 Not man present voted in favor of the states plan to fight the pest. | The state had defined generally in- fested areas which affects all farm products, and lightly infested area which affects only nursery products. The nursery men claimed their busi- ness would be badly hit by a state wide quarantine because intended customers would be scared off by re- strictions imposed on shrubs, plants and other items.
 l They claimed that last summers quarantine reinvoked would not af- i feet them 50 seriously as the com bined federal-state quarantine.

 Many Workers Are Busy
 Nothing is being left 10 guess work. Research workers are busy ia America. France. Scotland and England going into old documents in musty libraries for infornll- tion.

Archaeologists are at wo' k finding only foundations that had been completely forgotten.
 Sixty-eight buildings in Viii l.amsburg which have been proved to date back to colonial days will be left as they arc, With restoration and strengthening wherever necessary. All modem buildings are being razed or moved away. Cement sidewalks are to be torn up and replaced by walks of brick or gravel. The rc- stored houses will have electric lights but Ill wires will be un- der ground.
 Most of the land and property in the colonial area has already ! been bought by the Rockefeller holding company, and the rest will be bought as soon as agree ments on the price can be strengthened out.
 All of this tremendous job owes it's inception to the idea of one :nan-Dr. William A. A. Goodwin, proctor of the Bruton Parish Fps copal church.

 Connecticut river. and to store it up
 as reserve for the metropolitan | district.
 | Goodenough's testimony was pre- 1 scented by Massachusetts in refuta-

 can utilize the Merrimac river or
 a group of other eastern Massachu-

 The engineer pointed out that the l Shawsheen was exceptionally objec- 1 tionable because of pollution from l sewage disposal and industrial
 waste and that the lower Sudbury could not be seriously considered l for the same reason. These might | be purified from standpoint Of | public health. he said. but the peo- l pie in this section were averse to
 using such treated water. He added
 that from his experience the state 1 legislature reflected this popular
 sentiment in it's enactnlents con- corning water supplies.

 Washington, March 19.-Milliors of dollars of John D. Rockefeller s fortune are being poured out in a little town a short distance south of here to bring colonial Virginia back. as living reality. to the middle of the twentieth century.
 The old town of Williamsburg. Va, capital of colonial Virginia in the days when Virginia ran all the way to the Mississippi river and the Great Lakes, is being rebuilt so that when completed it will look exactly as it looked before tho Revolution.
 Costs Many Millions.
 It is a stupendous task-pron. abily the greatest restoration prof ect ever attempted. Work h4a been in progress for nearly three years and more than s5.000,00f has been spent; vet a beginning has barely been made. It will be 10 years or 15, before the job * done, and many more millions will have to be expended.
 But at the finish Williamsburg will look exactly as it did two cen, turies ago.
 This project contrasts striking. ly with Henry Ford's antique vii. lage at Dearborn, Mich.
