A Naugntuck valley alliance of hll It's towns nnd cities looms ns the solo hopo of securing tho proper and prompt attention t0 tho atream pollution problem. This is Heen' In n recent statement Of General Sanford II. Wndhnmh. di- rector of tho state water cOmmls- sion, it iA also prompted by tho recent action of the hundreds of towns and cities in the Connecticut river valley meeting for n similar purpose.
 Elimination of pollution of tho Nnugntuck river by sewage cannot be conaldered nH n problem Just affecting Waterbury or NauRntuck or any one of the several other communities In tho valley, said General Wndhams. In n communi- cation to Tho Democrat hc stated that hiH organization is intcrcsted primarily In tho entire stream from source Co mouth and not in ono particular section of it.
 IditorInily the Waterbury Dem ocraL pointed out the need of en- tcrtalning Just such q viewpoint when 1t discounted the threat made by Nnugntuck onIclnls somo itimo ago to bring court action against Waterbury to force com pletIon of a sewage disposal plant within our limits. Court action could not be secured against one city and not ali towns offending the sanitary code.
 Since Watcrbury's disposal plant was first proposed considerable money has been spent by this city in preparing for tho day when it might bo put Into operation. In 1904 a bond Issue of $i0,00O wnB foated for construction of the dis- pOsni plant. This was followed by two successive $i00.000 issues in 1905 and 1908.
 From 1909 down to 1929 there were six separate and distinct bond issues for sewage construc- ton, the largest of which was S050.O0O in 1927. the smallest S72.O00 in 1928. Tho total, includ- ing the three issues for tho dlB- ponai plant. is s2.372. 00O. 900.

New Era in Track Sports
Amateurs Now Are Honest
But Still Neglect Future

NEW YORK, May 25.-Another one of those fascinating
but please-dont-quote-me gentlemen of sports was
speaking. He was talking freely and perhaps discreetly about
is politely forgotten in some quarters and gratefully remem-
bered in others.
ct think of it these days" he said, because it all seems 81 different
now. The runners have a different outlook and they do not appear to
seek what we used to think was our just reward for services rendered.
st mean the young fellows who run for clubs are unselhsh to an
self clear enough, I mean they are real amateurs. We weren't. We didn't
feel that the game was square all around, SO we took what We could get
when the getting was good"
e.
II row did it all start? Well, my man was in Europe. He was we'll
l. Il known and a great star. Don't ask me for further details on him.
I'd be giving his identity away. Anyway, he was invited here. A schedule
ately arranged.
so we started to fulfill the engagements. The crowds were ire
mendous and enthusiasm lmtless. We saw promoters daily and heard
them talk of senouts days in advance. The promoters came in some
from reputable clubs and in others from mushroom organizations
that had their offices on stationery only.
Nov, my athlete had left what was a promising business on
the other side. lie couldn't serve his European customers 5000 miles
away. He felt that there should be some recompense"
THE talker chuckled in his soft. characteristic manner. And what do
Il you suppose they told us when We asked: What is in i?' They
said: What do you expect? I tried to explain how things were. NO.
they insisted, this is an amateur organization and no amateur athlete
can talk like that
well, I'm not exactly dumb. I knew they needed my man more than
to cover his time lost from business. The first club saw how we stood.
And it agreed. Then another. And another.
Everywhere we went they grumbled. Our expenses, so to speak, were
a drop in the bucket of income that was flooding their treasures, but the
whispering campaign went on.
"xx7E toured the country, setting records al we pleased, and running
worn to a fragile. There was one man competing about the same time
who often raced my star. I was curious and asked once about whether
or not he was giving his time and skill for the asking. He said: Yes,
why not? and I let the question drop.
Then he began to slip as a competitor. He was getting old. He had
neglected all plans for a career while running. And when he stepped
out of the competing circle he found himself against a blank wall. No
job, no training, nothing"
