The City of Waterbury lost It's last chance to prevent pollution of the Shepaug river today when the house rejected the bill, introduced by the city and calling for diver sion of the overflow from the pond to the Housatonic river. It now goes into the Shepaug river and Waterbury authorities claimed that the presence of many camps and cottages at the pond were potential contributors to the pollution of the river which is part of the munich pal water supply of Waterbury now.

CountyAgent's Column
knowledge of Tree Traits OF Benefit
to All Citizens
j. H. CARTER

A knowledge of tree characteristics
is just as important for the small town
and city dweller as it is for the far
mer.
Few persons will disagree that the
average farmer should know that To-
Gust makes a better fence post than
tulip poplar and that hickory makes
stronger tool handles than red oak.
Yet, there are many less obvious facts
than these which might save dollars
and cents and even human lives if they
were better known by the average per-
son.
For example, practically all people
appreciate the fact that it is consid-
cred dangerous to stand under a tree
during an electrical storm. Few, how
ever, are aware of the fact that not
all trees are susceptible to being struck
by lightning. Recent investigation has
shown that oaks, elms, pines, poplars,
willows and ashes, in the order named,
are most susceptible to being struck.
On the other hand, there is no record
of beech, holly, birch or horse chest
nut having been struck by lightning.
In planting trees around the house
or along the street or sidewalk it is
well to remember that some trees
cause more dirt and litter than others.
Red naples, in addition to being short
lived, are susceptible to breakage dur
ing heavy sleet and snow storms.
Horse chestnut burrs and nuts form
another nuisance and the slippery cat
kins of poplar trees provide menace
to pedestrians and traffic in the spring
of the year.
Last, but by no means least, home
owners are warned to exercise care
in the selection of naples as shade
trees. While this particular tree is
extremely popular only two or three
out of ten or more Indigenous varie-
ties are satisfactory.

to the United States Government in accordance with the judgment handed down Saturday by District Judge George F. Alexander, an $8,- 900 bond will be forfeited to the Government, it was explained today by Assistant District Attorney c. w. Folta.
 Action was brought against the Tahoma on grounds that she was operating under American registry while Canadian owned and thus was evading a one half a cent a pound duty on halibut which is shipped from Canada to the Unit ed States. In the period between June 1883 and September 1884, the vessel evaded more than $6,0O0 in duty, the Government contended. AS an American vessel she would ply into Prince Rupert under per- init and sell her halibut without paying duty. The Government prov ed she actually was a Canadian vessel and thus was subject to duty.
