fFOiic tntS week, not
4 In a frivolous sense
but in a sense of
l-s@@@z@ - haste, to do all the
things that were on hand for the
doing. 1t began on Monday when
many wanted to attend the Y.
w. C. A. taking off" dinner at
Dover, while others felt they
must be at the New Century
Club to take their places at the
benefit card party. Tuesday
found many attending the movies
to see the lovely jeanette Mac
Donald in "Maytime. Wasn't 1t
all absorbing and beautiful?
Wednesday the famous columnist
Don Rose, of Philadelphia, was
the guest speaker at the supper
meeting of the University Wo-
men at Hotel Windsor. That
same evening a reception was
given to DR.. and Mrs. Frank Her
son at the Avenue Church. Last
night the P. M. c. cadets were
here for the concert of old and
modern music. Tonight, maybe,
one may get his breath and go
to bed early. This is one week
of the many busy ones that Mil
fordians have during the year,
Aside from these big things there
were smaller groups of friends
getting together for cards, bifgo
and many other forms Of enter
tainment. No one can rightly
say that ours is quiet town.

year, or about one-half as much water as was used by all of the cities in the United States of more than 100000 population in 1o36.
 The "moSt important fact" by the study said the report lis the obvious need for city water authorities of each community to make Q com. plete census of air-conditioning equipment which they are serving, showing the installed horsepower, the tonnage of refrigeration sup- piled by each installation, and the gallonage of water which they draw from the city system, as well as methods of dispoSing of waste water"
 New Equipment
 However, entering into the picture is the development of evaporativE condensers for air-conditioning equipment. Formerly water was circulated over the condensing unit to cool the warm refrigerant gas and then, heated until 1t was no longer useful, 1t was allowed to run down the drain. Engineers claim that the new process eliminates 90 per cent of the water waste.
 The evaporative condenser adds air motion to the old process and passes water over fin.type con. denser coils through which the gas flows. The combination of the warm gas, cool water and air mo- ton causes the water to evaporate and produce Q cooling effect 10 times aS great as the water alone.
 Although this type of unit is not yet universal on all makes of air. conditioning equipment 1t Is ex- pected that 1t will be adopted in those districts where water Is ex. pensiye and the city system capacity is limited.

on CQe1r WaCer supplies.
 "There is no danger that Water bury will be confronted with such a situation" Frank J. Sassin of the water department, said today. Tn the first place, there are not enough establishments here with air-cond!- tionlng to create even the possibility of lowering our pressure. And there Is no likelihood that there will be such an increase in use of the equipment to endanger our re- sources"
 Morris ReservOl
 He pointed out that the Morris reservoir has 2,000, GOO, ,000-gallon capacity and that further resources lie in the lake adjacent. Even dur ing the extremely hot weather of this summer, the daily city demand reached only ten and one-half mil- lion gallons. At present 1t averages nine and one-half million gallons daily.
 MT. Cassin remarked that one of the local stores found the expense of city water for air-conditioning high and, discovering an old well in the store basement, Is using water from that source. In the event the well goes dry, then city water can be connected ct once.
 Waterbury has several large es- tablishments which use considerable water for their air-conditio equipment, however. But the sit- uation Is not the same here as in Chattanooga, Atlanta, Columbus, Dallas, St. Paul, Scranton, South Bend, and other cities of like size'
 Dangerous Drain
 It was revealed by recent news from Washington, according to the Hartford Courant, that officials of many municipalities are viewing with growing concern" the wide- spread demand upon their water supply by increasing installations of the type of air-conditioning equipment which discharges water into the sewerage systems.
 The marketing research division report showed that Installations of air-conditioning equipment units increased l400 per cent between 1883 and the end of 1o36, while horse- power increased from l6e,000 at the end of 1o32 to 432,706 ct the end of i93e.
 "Yet the trend of air-conditioning sales continues upward more sharp- ly than in any past year." the divi- sion asserted. Consequently the need for water for this purpose Is Q matter of serious consideration to manufacturers and city water users alike." ,..
 Demand Too High
 'tMany cities," the report con- tinued, "are now using from 76 to 90 per cent of the available water supply and could not readily fur. nish additional large quantities Of water for purposes other than those now using water without arrang- ing for increased capacity"
 The report calculated that the present air-conditioning equipment of the country, running on c l2- months, 24-hour basis, has c po- tential water demand of more than FOG, ,0oo, 100000 gallons of water 6
