State Safeguards
Its Water Supply
Great Progress Recorded in Sanitation Better Edu-
cation of Public on NEGOTIATIONS Advocated

Great progress in sanitation has
been made since Connecticut was
founded 800 years ago, but a great
deal remains to be done and eter-
nal vigilance is necessary to safe
guard what has been accomplished
up to the present time, according
20 Warren j. Scott, director. of the
Bureau Of Sanitary. Engineering of
the State Department of Health,
speaking in the second Of the de-
partment's series of IL Tercen-
tenary broadcasts today.
The greatest strides have been
taken in comparatively recent
years, Mr.. Scott said, the first small
public water supply In Durham
not having been developed until
1898 and the real development of
public supplies not having begun
until the time of the Civil War.
The state now has 1O2 public wa
ter supply systems, supplying 141
communities and about 100000
people or SO per cent Of the popu-
lation.
Safeguards to protect tks water
StAPRAJ 81 y AuAuCkOu IS u.
The State Department of Health
through its Bureaus of Sanitary
Engineering and Laboratories CO.
operates with local authorities in
inspections Of supply areas, in es-
adjustment and supervision of
plants for treatment Of water by
filtration and chlorination to de-
stroy disease bacteria, in checking
water piping connections to keep
out unsafe water, and in periodic
analyses Of public water supplies
to locate any questionable condi-
lions. These have helpel immeas-
urably, he said, in bringing the
typhoid fever death rate down, so
that there were only seven deaths
from it in the entire State last
year as compared with 564 deaths
which would have occurred with
the typhoid death rate of so years
ago.

Water flushed sewage disposal
systems came into extensive use
about 1880, with emphasis laid on
the construction Of public inter-
cepting sewers to eliminate cess
pools and to carry filth away
from small streams. In 1S93,,
Meriden built the first municipal
sewage treatment plant in the
state. There are now 81 public
sewerage systems in Connecticut
serving approximately 81 per cent
Of the population, and about AZ
per cent of the severed popula-
ton is served by some degree of
sewage treatment. These systems
are under the supervision of the
State Department Of Health.
Many Developments have taken
place in sewage treatment since
the earlier installations, Mr.. Scott
stated. Various types of sedimen-
tation tanks, some Of which are
mechanically cleaned, aerating and
filtering processes, separate diges-
ton of sewage sludge and burning
of digestion gases-all are among
the more recent installations in
Connecticut. Chemicals may be
employed to assist sewage sedimen-
tation and to provide disinfection.
Public sentiment is developing
against the discharge of raw sew
age into the waters of the state,
he said, for this discharge is over
burdening some waters which may
be needed for drinking purposes
in the future, and in destroying
bathing, fishing and boating re-
creational assets, as we'll as de-
spelling shellfish growing areas
and limiting the use of the water
for industrial purposes. Added
impetus to sewage treatment pro-
grams, the director concluded, can
be provided by public support.

fellow using virtually every unsavory practice that could be devised to meet their selfish ends
 Under the gu1se of cutting overhead there were these paying their workmen not enough to keep body and soul alive and throwing the product of these victims the market at price far below what a legitimate business could possibly produce it for. Business was becoming a racket and honest enterprises were coming to the point where they either had to use the methods go out of business as many of them did.
 The MIRA was devised solely for the protection of honest and legitimate business and it has achieved a big part of it's purpose. The cry now is that it is penalzng the little fellow whose volume is not So great against the big operators, and maybe it is to a certain extent although it is prob able a remedy can be found for that if the Blue Eagle is to continue. The chances it will con- tinue for some time at least for it evident that those who have been in charge of it are satisfied it is still needed to maintain what they refer to as "a fair field and no favors."
 The fact is that business is beginning to feel its oats. In other words, the silver lining is be- coming very much in evidence on the dark cloud that gripped it for so long and when orders start coming and the cash registers begin clicking a little at what heretofore has been support now has a tendency to become barrier. What little over year ago was an oasis in the desert now becomes restraint of trade to the business which IS getting it's feet again. It wants to toss off the so- called letters and whoop er up. The question is whether industry has recovered sufficiently to go it alone? There seems to be wide difference of opinion but it would appear from past performances that little extension of the same medicine isn't going to hurt a thing. As the cycle continues upward the MIRA will outlve its usefulness and the Blue Eagle can go back to roost.
 In the meantime, the Republicans going to capitalize on it's weaknesses but it is very possible that they are picking on what by the time 1886 rolls around may be issue at all or at best only a minor one The MIRA may have completed it's func- tion by that time and business will be going along under its power at such pace that it wont want to be reminded of those quack G. O. P. remedies which made it sick until NRA came along to give it's succor and survival.

THAT HARASsED BLUE EAGLE.

Around the National Industrial Recovery Act commonly known as the NF2A is wagng of the stubborn battle Of the present Congress and in it many see one of the principal campaign issues for 1886 the Republicans appear to be centering their forces in that direction
 The MIRA, like the majority laws, is not per- feet Were any made statutes entirely perfect there would be no need for the vast array of legal talent to interpret and quarrel them. But the NRA, the horse trader said has it's points and whether the most of them are good bad does not matter much the fact that the fundamental purpose of the law is sound. It conceived to meet condition, condition which may be laid in large measure right at the door of those who today are shouting the loudest.
 That much harassed bird. the Blue Eagle. was brought into being to screeeh against unfair compe tition and in behalf of those who were being sweated by the "chiseler' under pretext that hard tines made him pay starvation wages. It not born to meet certain issue; rather it drafted to counter a general condition which industry through fear false premises, miseonception and in too many cases sculduggery had brought on it. self In behalf Of the majority it should be said that most were the victims of fear and their inten- tions while probably wrong in many instances, were not dishonest. However. there were what President Roosevelt long ago referred to as the "chselers who, in order to make a dime and skin the other

TEDDY, SHETLAND PONY, TRUDGES TO
 KENDLER'S FARM

To replace the beloved Pea nuts whose death was a sad event year or so ago for the two children of MT. and Mrs. Joe Render, new Shetland pony has arrived at the Render Dairy Farm on Glacier Highway.
 The newcomer, as sturdy a look ing pony to come this far north, is named Teddy. Yesterday after noon, while hundreds of automo- piles shot past him on their way to the airport celebration, Teddy trudged the long route to the Render farm from the Pacific Coast Dock, where he had been delivered from the Alaska. He did not ask for a lift"
 Today, MT. and Mrs. Render is- sued an invitation to all Juneau children to ''come out and pay Teddy visit" He might be in veigled into giving ride or two, they added.
