 Laws Upheld
 Laws which protect Connecticut public water supplies from con- tamination by bathers were tested in the superior court of the state nine years ago, and the decision made their validity unquestionable. The case was tried win 1929 by Judge Arthur F. ELS in the New Haven county superior court. It involved a dispute between a local water de- partment and certain real estate promoters. The latter had been per- mititng bathing in small pond which was part of a reservoir trib- utary. The water department had ordered that the bathing be stopped and was supported by an order to the same effect by the state depart ment of health. Since prohibiting bathing in the pond wouldw hinder development and sale of the adja- cent property, the realtors refused to comply with these orders. The case went to court, and the court rendered a very definite decision against the realtors.
 In his decision, the judge said: "The stream of which this little pond is part runs into a reservoir and pumping station and it's water is used for public drinking pur- poses

 Also, there will be presented the request of Registrars of Voters John T. Derwin and Albert O. Taller for the aldermen to make immediate appropriation of $2,100 for canvas of all voters in the city. This mat ter was tabled at the meeting of the Board of Finance last week and will not come before that commission .gain until June g, Thursday.
 Ask Appropriations
 The registrars will ask the alder men to create the appropriation un- der the statute allowing for regis trars' assistants and subject to future approval by the Board O. Finance. It is noted in the com- munication that the canvass must be completed before July 18th as the voting lists will "go to press July 30. It is expected that it will require about five or six weeks for the estimated sixteen canvassers to complete the check.
 A committee of the aldermen is expected to report on the acceptance of an offer from the Automatic Voting Machine Company of James, town, N. Y, to provide 10 new vot- Ing machines on the basis of series of notes, payable next year. Due to enlargement of the voting district number from 20 to 32 the machines are requisite, the regis trars reported, and should have been ordered before the end of last month to insure delivery in time for the fall elections.
 Investigation
 A principal consideration will be the outline of what procedure will be developed for the investigation of all city departments, as sought by the Republican membership of the board for the last three months. Whether the board will be able to devise a series of special meetings through the summer to take reports on possible economies" through suggested reorganization of depart ments is problematic..l.
 It is expected that the controller VIII ouUllllU d 4loU VI 4UCAAAo III fokAOte departments which can be "encum- bered" SO as to provide contingency reserves for transfer to appropria- tions proving inadequate after Sep tember 1, when the charter allows this transfer. Among these items are some in the street department, the wage cut of city employees salaries. estimated to produce about $l92,000 which was voted by the Board of Finance as a deficiency measure to benefit the welfare department upon which heavy drain has re- suited because of economic condi- ticns.
 Suspension
 Whether some further move by the Republican majority will be att tempted in the matter of "suspen- sion" of the mayor and appointive officers named in grand jury charges was not learned at noon today. In the event the Republicans hold a caucus before the meeting tonight, the mayors vetoes of their proposals probably will be subject of some re- lated attempt to institute "suspen- sicn," pending determination of the charges by the Waterbury-Alcorn grand jury.

HOSPITAL FOR
WILD DUCKS

GREEN BAY. Wis. CUP)-HoSpi-
tai service has been arranged here
under federal sanction for ducks
wounded in the annual bombard-
ment by hunters.
The founder and surgeon of the
sanatorium for crippled ducks is
Blake Posey. He converted a piece
of marshland northeast of this city
to his needs and enlisted the aid
of conservationiSt friends. AS soon
as the Lake Michigan bay froze,
they made expeditions of mercy to
rescue ducks disabled by gunfire.
They found 25, and Posey nursed
20 of them back to health after
giving them corrective surgical at
tention. He applied splints to broken
wings and legs and removed shot
from unhealed wounds. A tool shed
was converted into a field hospital
The U. S. Biological Survey, which
has charge of regulating hunting
seasons for migratory waterfowl, ap-
proved the Salvaging project, au-
thorizing capture of crippled birds
from Nov. II to 80 annually.
The annual carnage among wild
fowl does not cease with the 81
lencing of hunters guns at the end
learned. He has been an agent OF
mercy among the crippled birds for
Is years. He began when he was a
sophomore in high school.
Failure often interfered with his
efforts to rescue the wounded wa
terfowl from starvation with the
onset of winter. Gradually his skill
increased. Loss of blood is virtually
the only danger he encounters now.
Waterfowl are unusually resistant
to gangrene and lead poisoning.
After their wounds are dressed, most
of the birds need nothing more
than plenty of food, fresh air and
water, he said.
Posey would like to expand his
mission among other conservation
lists, and has offered to furnish in
formation on his methods to any
one capable of using it. He estimat-
ed that Is per cent of the ducks
shot by hunters are left wounded
to die lingering death. With such
a high casualty rate, he pointed out
the potential value of salvaging the
cripples.
A mallard hen usually raises at
least eight of her brood annually
and thus she is well worth saving
Posey explained. The biological
survey authorized him TO band the
birds he saves to trace their move
ments.
