 Weather Demand Mercury Hits 100

pect reservoir has failed due to the fact that it's water content is two and one-halr feet below the level of the spillway. In other words, the Prospect reservoir is not serving the city at all and the Hecla street pump Is drawing wa ter enough to keep the East Moun- tain filled from the Wigwam. hence the extra draw on the Morris. The water department was not worried this afternoon but stated, at the same time. that the Shepaug pumps are in readiness to take care of any further shortage of water. The city is without any. worry, on the whole, although other towns and cities in Connecticut are now fear ing shortages.

Despite the fact that this is the year in which the city election will take place to elect municipal offi- cers to run the business of Water bury for the ensuing two years, practically no applications have been filed to date by those seeking to go on the democratic and re- publican lists, respectively. This is taken to indicate that there will not be primary contests of any inn portance in the democratic and g. o. p. ranks this year and that the leaders of both major parties will wait to make any changes they have in mind until the conventions are held.
 The final period for filing on tbe primary lists of the republican and democratic parties will open the day after tomorrow and will close a week from Friday, August 11th.
 The office of the registrars of voters will entertain applications for the primary lists between 12 o'clock, noon, to 9 o'clock, evening, during the week.

matter up at the next meeting of the board of health so as to sound out the feelings of the commissions CTS. The board is made up of sev- erai doctors as well as civilians.
 The cost of each X-ray picture, it is estimated, would be 35 cents, this expense to be borne by the city. The municipality, in addi- ton, would have to supply the doc tors working in the schools with portable X-ray apparatus. Also they would have to have assist ants able to read the films.
 Dr Knowlton pointed out that he feels this practice would be advisable because X-rays would enable the school doctor to discov- CT cases of tuberculosis and the like in children before such dis eases had progressed too far. Special attention in taking the K ray picture will be centered on the lungs and chest.
