 HERE OUTLINED
Violence in Any Form Is Deprecated; Union Mem-
 bers Seek Equality

The local truckers union favorS violence in no form whatsoever, 1t was announced this morning by Ralph Tata, business agent, who also added that the demands they were making at the present time were nothing more htan. asking what is expected of local union drivers when they go out of town.
 When we ask an out of state driver cease work upon arrival into Waterbury and that our men do the unloading" said the local business agent, i've are asking for the same set-up we adhere to when one of our drivers enter another city. And the rates of pay we ask are in no way to be associated with the word racket. Under our agreement with the managers we have certain rate stipulations which we believe are quite fair"
 This statement was issued today following a story that local drivers connected with the union were handing out hints to out of state drivers that 1t would be "inadvis- able" for them to unload trucks. MT. Tata elaborated upon this point also. We have four or five unem- ployed men in Waterbury," he said, land we feel that they are entitled to local work"
 The local business agent was par ticularly emphatic In suppressing any hints of violence on the part of the local union.

Although Connecticut's public wa ter supply systems have been in- creased in capacity more than 50 percent in the last dozen years, the job of providing for the estimated future demand of the states pop ulace in the matter of water con- sumption still continues with new sources of supply being tapped, ex- isting storage facilities being en- lareed, and plans being laid more than half a century in advance for keeping ahead of the demand with an abundance of pure and potable water. Neews for watre supply in Connecticut have been estimated as far ahead as the year 2.000.
 In recent years, many new sour ces' of water supply have been tap- ped including the wide watershed of the huge Lake Gaillard reservoir of the New Haven Water Company in North Branford, which has a storage capacity of 13,000,000, ,000 gallons and is the largest storage basin in the state. In bringing in this new supply the courses of sev- eral streams were diverted in order that. the drainage of watershed ln addition to that which under ordin- ary circumstances would drain in- to the reservoir would feed the big lake This brought the number, of reservoirs in the New Haven sys- tenn to 18.
 q. Saugatuck River
 At the present time, the Bridge port Hydraulic Company Is work ing on the development of the Saugatuck River basin in Weston and Bedding, which when complet- ed will closely rival the New Haven coinpany's North Branford develop ment and will add 12,0o0, 100000 gall Ions to the water storage capacity of Connecticut. That the area where the new reservoir will be built would one day hold water in reserve for Bridgeport and its environs was first conceived as long ago as 1896 when the company bought the first parcel of landN there. Construction of this large project will take sev- eral years, and eventually, will con- centrate the dainage of thousanos of acres of watershed In the basin.
 Impending of water for the pub lic drinking supply requires vast investment in land, dams and dis tribution systems. but it is essential because the population of the State is steadily grwing and 25 or 50 years from now, experts claim. the capaoi- ty of lake water supplies may be taxed to the extent that river wat . CTS will have to be used. In the meantime, Connecticut'S supple could withstand drought of many
