SCOTT EXPLORES
 FALSE THEORIES
Investigation of Soil Con- ditiOns Advisable for
 Septic Tanks

Several fallacious theories and statements concerning the efficiency of septic tanks in the matter of sewage disposal in those sections where public sewers do not exist were exploded by Warren J. Scott, director of the bureau of sanitary engineering of the state department of health, in the first of the depart ment's series of fall and winter weekly broadcasts today.
 The statement, "A septic tank ef- fluent is safe to drink" is entirely untrue, MT. Scott declared, inas- much as thimbleful of such liquid flowing from septic tank outlet contains millions of bacteria, some of which may produce disease. An other false claim is that "A septic tank never needs to be cleaned as the bacteria eat up the solids" Any properly operating tank will retain settled sludge and floating scum which must be cleaned out periodic ally despite the fact that bacteria do digest 50 to 75 per cent of the solids and convert them into gases and liquids that pass out of the tank. If a tank retains no solids, it is not working effectively and the solids are escaping to clog up the seepage system. A third erroneous belief and claim is that "A septic tank system will work under any conditions of soil or ground water" This is definitely not correct, MT. Scott said, because while the tank may work the seepage system may not work under adverse conditions of poor soil, limited area, rock or high ground water, 50 that serious health nuisance may be created.
 An outstanding consideration in
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-10-17

installing septic tank should be the method of disposal of the waste, liquid from the tank, since this liquid contains some solids, is odor- ous, and contains dangerous bac- teria. This liquid must be disposed of away from wells or springs by seepage into the ground. Leaching tile lines or cesspools may be sat- isfactory in dry porous soils, but where the soil is tight and contains clay extensive seepage systems of many hundred feet of tile or num- erous cesspools may be needed to leach away the liquid. Sometimes where lots are small and soil is poor 1t is impossible to obtain proper seepage and avoid 8 nuisance. This also holds true of rocky areas, and where high ground water makes the land wet and swampy at certain times of the year. Therefore, the prospective home buyer should con- slider carefully the porosity of the soil, the extent of his lot and the possibility of high ground water.

 ON JURY VERDICT
Evading Responsibility Charge Dropped
 Guilty Plea Changed

DeIiberating about 15 minutes fury in the common pleas court to- day brought in a verdict Of not guilty for Angie Pais, 26, on charges of evading responsibility. She was accused of having struck with her car, Lucian Milstead, near Miller & Pecks store on July 31, and to have driven away.
 Yesterday, she pleaded guilty to the odtense and when her attorney started to explain the case, it was found that there were mitigating circumstances. She was permitted to change her plea to not guilty and trial was held today before jury.
 She explained she did not know she had hit anyone until shes aw mans hat on the running board of her car at the traffic light at Grand and South Main street, when she stopped because of a red light. She said she immediately drove to police headquarters and reported the hat. Later, she said, she was arr rested. She was defended by Attor- new A. H. Weisman. Judge Miles F. McNiff presided.

Power Stockholders
 Meet November IS
Abolition of Connecticut Electric Co. as Holding Firm
 for Light & Power Co. Expected to Develop

pany, the Connecticut Light & Pow CT company, and upon such re- organization the Connecticut Light & Power company would have all the properties, business and fran chises now owned by the two com panies. t
 The plan of reorganization now proposed and approved by the boards of directors of both com- panies calls for an exchange of shares of The Connecticut Light and Power company common stock for shares of The Connecticut Electric Service company common stock. Tn order to facilitate this exchange one CD share of common stock of The Connecticut Light and Power company will be issued for each share outstanding of the common stock of The Connecticut Electric Service company. Thus, each Serv- ice company shareholder will re- ceive the same number of shares of stock of The Connecticut Light and Power company as he now holds in the Service company. The common stock of The Connecticut Electric Service company is without par value whereas that of The Connecti- cut Light and Power company has a par value of $1O0. Therefore, the exchange, as above described, re- quires change in the common stock of The Connecticut Light and Power company to shares without par value, equal in number to the shares of The Connecticut Electric Service company. The board of di- rectors of this company has approv- ed of this change. No change, how ever, in the preferred capital stock of this company is necessary or con- templated. --
 Before this reorganization can be- come effective 1t must be approved by the public utilities commission of the state of Connecticut and pe- tit.on has been filed herewith ask ing for such approval.
 n order that this company may re tive the full benefit from the proposed reorganization, 1t is nec- essary that it be concluded prompt ly. To that end you will find en- closed herewith a notice of a spec ial meeting of the stockholders call- ed for the purpose of acting on this matter. I strongly urge that you at tend this meeting. If you are un- atle to do so, please send in your proxy promptly so that your stock may be voted.
 Yours very truly,
 J. H. RORABACK,
 President.

NSOkAOAAuC0 AAOAAA 06V 4I peaceful occupation of the rest of that area.
 A spokesman said five more Ethi- opian chieftains had surrendered near Entisco, south of Aduwa, but numerous enemy forces were said to be concentrated near Makale, next big objective of the northern Italian army.
 Make Him Puppet Ruler Appointment of Gugsa was viewed as the first step toward making him a "puppet ruler" over conquered Ethiopian territory, with the pros- pect that his jurisdiction may be enlarged as the Italian advance pro- ceeds.
 Gugsa was given the title of "Ras" "a designation which in Ethiopia Is inferior only to that of king. Ulti- mately, Italy may attempt to set him up as puppet ruler of all Ethiopia. Italy newspapers recent. ly have been giving prominent dis play to articles about Gugsa's fam fly tree, attempting to prove that he, rather than Halle Selassie, right fully should be emperor.
 While the official communique said there had been no develop ments worthy of mention" on the southern front, message from Dji- bout, French Somaliland, said an Italian column from Italian Somali- land was marching alongside the British Somaliland frontier in the direction of Jijiga, with the objec- tive of occupying an important junction of cavavan routes.
 Today's Italian government com- munique-No. 21 of the war series said:
 General Emilio De Bono (com- mander of forces in Ethiopia) tele- graphed from Adigrat that he has reviewed the national troops and troops belonging to Gugsa.
 He then announced that Gugsa is appointed Ras of Tigre in the name of his majesty, the king of Italy. This announcement was well comed with manifestations of en- thusiasm by the leaders and all the people.
 Consolidation of the occupied ter- ritory progresses with great intensity and wheeled traffic can now proceed from Senafe to Adigrat.
 Aviation units have effected us- ual reconnaissance flights south and west of the occupied positions. In the vicinity of Makale. where nu- merous enemy forces are concentrat- ed. several airplanes were fired at, but no damage done.
 "On the remainder of the front, and on the Somaliland front, no new developments have occurred worthy of mention"

berlain Air Lines, Boston to New York"
 The airport is leased by the town of Plymouth from the Waterbury {! Airport, Inc, for five years.
 Our Reporters Feelings
 Your correspondent has been back on terra firma about half an hour after looking at Waterbury from an altitude of 5000 feet and is still enjoying the thrill of the take-off from Mt. Tobe airport, the roar of the motors, the beau- tifully-tinged hill and the entirely unusual sight of the Brass City from an air view. It was his first flight.
 When Col. Chamberlain brought his huge condor to the airport and touched its wheels in feathery three-point landing, all fears of an airplane ride just vanished.
 When Attorney Richardson T. Bronson suggested that the famous Transatlantic flyer take up sev- eral prominent men, including news papermen, this writer was eager to go. The inside is just like that of a large bus. Colonel Chamber lain took his seat in the front of the ship, and then instructions were passed out to buckle on the belts in the seats.
 The motor roared to start, the brakes loosened and the giant ship started off tothe north end of the field. It was maneuvered around and then with an extra roar the motors carried the ship at a fast clip until point half way to the other end. Then the ship just scared like bird from the earth and the faces of the people on the ground seemed to merge into one white flash.
 Sensation Great
 A couple of times the ship seem- ed to drop, creating a sensation like one feels when an elevator comes to an abrupt stop. When the first questionable fears left, a glance out the window showed the ship to be gradually leaving the earth until the trees, roads, streams and hills appeared to merge into one huge panoramic view.
 In few seconds, it seemed, we were over Waterbury. First Water vile with its Chase companies were picked out, then the Water bury railroad station, the City Hall, the Chase offices, the center of the city, the Apothecaries Hall corner, South Main street, St. Ann's church, the Democrat building, all followed in rapid suc- cession. The plane swung to the north east flying over the Scovill company plants, the Wilby high school, Lakewood park, back to the Elton, Immaculate Conception church, Brooklyn, Duggan school, Chase Park, the American Brass factories and then back again to the airport.
 While over Waterbury the auto- mobiles appeared like small bugs crawling along, while human in- dividuals could hardly be distin- guished. Trolleys seemed no larger than toy cars. While flying over St. Ann's church the shadow of the plane was noticed to be covering Wilby high school.
 The only reaction, the first flyers reported was a closing of the ears This sensation left when earth was reached. It was not bad trip al all. It was quite worth taking.
