New Haven. Conn, Feb 17-(UP) It is only a question of time when people of Connecticut will have to depend upon the already polluted streams of the state for their water supply, General Sanford H. Wad- hams of Torrington, director of the state water commission, told the 47th annual convention of Connecti cut Civil Engineers here to-day.
 "Our steadily increasing populal tion, with the marked urban trend, together with the rising standard of living, is responsible for the growing demand of potable water supplies, he declared. Safe upland sources are becoming rapidly ex hausted."
 Control of the volume of pollution reaching the waterways of the state is necessary for the growth of in- dustries in certain localities. Wad- hams stated. Purif1cation of indus trial wastes and, in many cases. the recovery of wastes in such form that they can be used over again. are two problems which state research chemists hope to develop shortly, ac- cording to ehtcomshrdluetaoin cording to the commissioner Gen eral Wadhams advocated increased municipal borrowing power to per init many municipalities to scientific ally dispose of sewage wastes.
