MONTHLY CHECK
 | ON RESERVOIRS
Smaller Water Supplies Are Analysed Every
 Three Months
INSPECT WATERSHEDS

In addition to the frequent ex- animation and analysis of their water supplies made by Connecti- cuts water utilities, the state de- partment of health furnishes an additional check upon the purity of the states supply by examining monthly all of the large and treat ed supplies and by examining wa ter from the smaller sources at least once every three months. Samples are taken from the reser- yoirs either by the companies or department inspectors and are tested chemically and bacteriologi- cally at the health department $ laboratories.
 Besides this check on the water itself, both the utilities and the health department make periodical surveys of the watersheds from which the water is carried by drainage into the reservoirs. The inspections of water supplies con- stitute a major activity on the part of the bureau of sanitary engineer ing of the health department. This bureau inspects all chlorination and filteration plants to insure that they are III pFopeI WoihAhS oIueI and conducts detailed examina- tions of the watersheds to make certain that no elements exist upon those lands which might lead to contamination of the sup ply.
 Clean watersheds are of the ut- most importance especially with respect to the smaller supplies where chlorination and filtration do not exist. For this reason, the utilities and the companies co. operate in posting their drainage lands against trespassing. The motor cars growth in recent year. has brought an increase of tourists and picnickers who seek to violate these postings by entering tho woodlands surrounding the reser. viors. Greater vigilance has there. fore been necessary in warning of and in prosecuting those who treaspass upon the watersheds, ar offense punishable under the gen. eral statutes of Connecticut ant upheld by many high court de cisions.

MANILA. July = 16.-The 1nsular
LEGISLATURE convened today and heard
Gov. Gen. Dwight F. Davis urge the
people of the islands to turn their
efforts from political to economic
problems.
Manuel Quezon was reelected presi-
dent of the Senate and Senator Sergio
Osmena was named president pro
tempore to act during Quezons absence
Manuel Roxas was reelected speaker
Of the House.
The governor general advocated the
repeal of antitrust laws, private
ownership of communications, gov
ernmental economy; crop diversified
ton and scientific agricultural methods
as a means of getting the Philippines
on the road to commercial freedom
For 80 years." he said. politics,
not economics, has held the public
attention. In our present critical con-
dition economics must dominate poll
tics. not politics dominate economics.
Points to Competition.
"Our neighboring competitors have
pursued this policy. Today they have
advanced so far beyond us in economic
development that even with concen-
trated effort a number of years must
pass before we can hope to equal them
LAS result we are today incapable
Of competing in the world markets. A
continuation of this condition will
ultimately result in untold misery"
Davis told the Filipinos they cannot
compete in the world market with their
crops unless they adopt modern, scien-
tific agricultural methods Removal of
the trade privilege with the United
States would ruin the Philippine sugar
industry, he said. and the Philippine
~, dc threat
ened because of the more efficient
methods adopted by competitor coun-
tries.
Warns Against Attacks.
Warning the islands of attacks by
interested parties" against their free
trade privilege with the United States,
Davis said they must balance and d.
versify their crops to provide products
they now import and to concentrate on
crops which they alone can grow and
are not therefore subject to tariff re-
etrictions.
Urging repeal of antitrust laws,
Davis said it was bred on unsound
theory prevalent 80 years ago in the
United States, but now discarded"
Consultations permit better man
agement and economies which bring
lower prices to the people and in time
Of financial distress save business from
disasters harmful to the whole COM
munity," he added

dress to arguing the advantages of pri-
vate over governmental ownership, urg-
ing the islands to develop commune
