LAST RITES FOR
 FATHER CURTIN
Many Local Priests to At- tend Funeral Services
 Tomorrow

The death of Rev. Jeremiah Cur tin, pastor of St. Lawrence's church, West Haven, yesterday recalled to many Waterburians the period that the popular priest spent here as a curate at St. Patrick'S church. In 1883, after his ordination, he came to this city, and remained here for five years. His efforts did much to develop St. Patrick's parish.
 Numerous local priests will attend the funeral tomorrow morning. Bishop Maurice P. McAuliffe will celebrate the pontifical mass of re- quiem. Burial will be in St. Law renee cemetery, New Haven. One of the officers of the funeral mass will be Rev. Frank Murphy, nephew of the deceased priest, who will serve as deacon. Rev. Edward Gaffney of Naugatuck will be one of the aco- lytes. The eulogy will be delivered by Rev. Matthew Brady of Hamden. Announcement has been made by the West Haven Chamber of Com merce that all retail stores of the town will be closed during the funeral.
 Father Curtin was the first pastor of the West Haven church and spent 41 years there. He was one of a few priests in the diocese who have spent more than 50 years in the priest- hood.
 At the West Have nparish, Father Curtin erected church, school, con- vent, rectory and mission chapel. He was 75 years old and one of the diocese's best-kpown clergymen.

The public little realize the many phases of undermining public water systems in the way of furnishing adequate water in times of drought, safe water to combat water-borne disease, and an attractive and pal- atable water pleasing to consumers, Warren J. Scott, director of the Bureau of Sanitary Engineering of the State Department of Health, said in the departments weekly broadcast today.
 When one goes to the faucet Of a public water supply system, he gives little thought to the story behind the supply thus furnished, yet there is long and interesting history of the development of safe supplies, dating back to the building of the first Roman aqueduct in 3l2 Bz, O., of the first American public supply at Boston in 1852, and of the first Connecticut supply at Durham in 17e8, Mir. Scott stated. Tho state now has 10s public systems, supply ing almost nine-tenths of the popu- lation.
 Advantages
 These systems furnish many ad- yantages to their communities, he pointed out. They supply water for fire fighting, make available sanitary water carriage sewerage systems, supply many industries requiring do- mestic uses, and lastly they are a convenient and safe source of drink ing water. To meet all these needs Q water supply must be free from germs that will cause sickness; 1t must be adequate in quantity to furnish ample water in dry seasons; 1t should be free from sediment and low in content of troublesome min erals; 1t preferably should be soft, to make the water satisfactory for domestic use; an dit should be col-

, orless and free from objectionable taste and odor.
 Most important are safety and adequacy of supply, MT. Scott said, and joint efforts of water and health ofilcials, in securing watershed clean- liness and increasing the extent of water treatment by filtration and chlorination to eliminate harmful bacteria, have been 50 successful that in the past quarter ia century Con- necticut has had no water-borne epidemics of typhoid fever or other intestinal disorders.
 Modern Features
 Perhaps the most notable modern izing feature of public systems to- day, the director declared, is the pro- vision of an attractive water, which although secondary to safety and adequacy is nevertheless important. Color in water is mainly due to solu- ton of organic matter from leaves and other vegetation. Objectionable taste and odor may be due to va riety of causes. Sometimes minor operating Improvements overcome complaints, but frequently major remedies must De adopted, such as filtration of the water through sand with or without the use of chemi- calls. Treatment of water in this way costs money which must be included in the cost of the water supplied, but it's advantages undoubtedly out weigh the added expense, MT. Scott said. About one-fourth of the pop ulation served from public supplies receive filtered water, and new plants are now being built.
