QUALITY OF WATER ASSET FOR STATE
Publicity Commission Has Praise for COnnectiCut's
 Water Supply

Among the many natural assets of Connecticut which form a basis of appeal to industries being urged by the state publicity commission and the Chambers of Commerce to make Connecticut their home are the states endowmentS in sources of public water supply.
 When natures Christmas presents were being doled out many long ages ago, Connecticut proved fortunate in being granted not only ample sources of water supply from clean, upland sources, but also in obtaining water which is extremely soft and free from high mineral content which in many other states makes 1t necessary to send water through extensive treat ment processes before 1t can be made fit for industrial use.
 "S0ft" Water
 With only two or three exceptions, which are in small villages where water is secured in & limestone re- zion or from deep wells in rock, the states water is soft. The water sup plies, in addition, are natural wa- ters unpolluted by sewage or in- dustrial wastes. For the most part, they are low in color and content of organic matter and are free from troubles with iron or manganese.
 For the protection of the public health, man has thrown up many safeguards around thu water sup plies and, as noted in recent bull letin of the state department of health, Connecticut no longer suf- ferS from great outbreaks of typhoid fever attributable to a common men, ace such as a contaminated water supply, and those sporadic cases which do occur throughout the state practically always obtain infection from another case or a carrier, a perSo3 who harborS the germs with out being ill with the diseases"
 The work of the public water sup ply s.stem in keeping the water clean and free from disease-carry- ing bacteria also helps the water from the industrial standpoint, since part of the treatment used in f1ltra- ton of water serves to lessen the corrosive quality or the water.
 Industrial Units
 Use of water in manufacturing processes in Connecticut is large and it is estimated that only about one out of each 160 gallons sent out through the public supply mains is actually consumed by human beings. The balance is utilized industrially, agriculturally or in sanitation. In the records of per capita consump- ton of water in the various cities and towns of the state, it can be readily seen that the greatest use of water is in those communities which are heavily industrialized. And for industry the chemical balance of the water is held by engineers to be of utmost importance. This means water such as Connecticut has in abundance, soft and not pro ductive of difficulties which arise when the supply contains a high de- gree of mineral content.

the city borrowed $1 ,5OO,UOU 8 year ago inasmuch as money is at very cheap interest rates. The town of Suffield borrowed money recently at .25 of one per cent, as have other Connecticut communities within the last few months.
 Loans Paid
 While the city has borrowed be- tween $200,000 and $250,000 for bond funds during the summer, these loans have been paid back and this will be the first "outside" temporary loan for the year, although the con- troller, as early as February, and several times since, has importuned the Board of Finance to borrow money for current expenses. This was not found practical by the board and other methods of financing without paying interest were found.
 Receipts to the surplus resource sinking fund for November amount ed to $79000, but only $28,000 of this will be turned over to the sinking fund, the sum of $50,000 to be with held until January to improve the city's cash position. This method, suggested by Commissioner John H. Gocs, was approved at the last meet ing of the board. The $28,000 repre- sents back taxes, interest and lien fees and must be turned into the sinking fund. Of the balance, $49, ,00O represents receipts in excess of esti- mates, liquor fees repatements, well fare department payments by the state, and the like.
 Office Equipment
 The controller requested $425 for new office equipment, saying that some of his present equipment had been borrowed from friends" and that 'ft isn't as though we don't like the looks of the desks" He said he supposed the board members would wonder why we want new furniture"
 The item for new furniture In the controllers office was on the orig inal departmental estimates of the expense, but was lost in the shuttle of consideration of the budget.
 The controller obtained another transfer of SIPS for interest on the $60,000 state and military tax bal ance which will not have to be paid until January 2, 1t was developed. Transfers of $650 for salaries in the sewer department, $350 for in- surance of new trucks bought by the stre ct department, were made from the contingency fund.
 Bills for 5000, including pay ments to the garbage collectors and truckers, were approved but other payments by the city are to be with held until after the first of the year excepting payrollS.

Dissenting opinions enable Judge

not under the compulsion Of speaking
