the entrance to the Chase Metal
Works in Waterville has been Of
fered to the federal government
for conversion into housing units.
The Democrat was informed to-
day. The offer was made recently
and Hole gents are already
processing the necessary forms.
The barracks" is a Landmark
dating back to World War I when
it was constructed to house war
workers employed at the Chase
Waterville plant, which was also
a product of that era. Two of the
long, low buildings were original
ly built along the Thomaston
highway, but one of them was
later torn down.
The remaining structure re-
manned idle for some years and
later served as a wayside sotre.
The Chase Company, along with
other manufacturing establish

DAVIES HERE FOR
TALK TOMORROW
State MIA Representative
tO'Meet With Local HOus=
ing Officials

William H. Davies, Connecticut
representative of the National Hous-
ing Agency, will confer with local
housing officials tomorrow afternoon
at the War Housing Center, 100
Grand street. Mr.. Davies attended
last weeks meeting Of such Of
ficials and will outline tomorrow the
plans that call for expansion of
various types of housing projects in
this city.
A week ago Mr.. Davies revealed
that the federal government, on the
basis of new employment and man
power statistics, was tipping" local
housing quotas. In particular 1t
was pointed out that plans had prac-
tically been completed for construc-
ton of a 10O-unit dormitory at the
Long Hill federal project, presum-
ably for women, but actually adapt
able to any local needs.
Members of the local War HouS-
ing Unit Committee were interested
in Mr.. Davies announcement and
urged that he keep them acquainted
with what plans the federal govern
ment are making for the city as re-
CARDS relief of present housing con-
ditions. Furthermore, it was de-
termined that all future federal
housing projects would be of a tenn
porary nature, to be destroyed after
the war ends.
Use of priority certificates in de-
velopment of what is known as the
garden apartment type of hous-
ing will also be explained by Mr..
Davies tomorrow, 1t is expected. 1t
Is known that at least one such
project has been planned for this
area. According to Democrat infor-
nation George w. Cassidy, who has
built number of one-famiy houses
for war workers, Is interested in a
tract of land just over the Nauga-
tuck line.
Latest reports on the expansion of
the federal project at Long Hill in
dictate that the additional 265 units
will probably not be ready until
some time in September. Actual
construction work is now confined
to preparing the site. The contract,
awarded to the City Construction
Co., of Bridgeport, many weeks ago,
actually was not put into effect I'M
til June /, when the concern re-
ceived the "go-ahead' order from
the Boston office of the MIA.

City's Water Supply
Reviewed By Lahey
Fire Marshal Health Officer Address City Employees;
Many Interesting Incidents Recalled

The working force of the street
and water bureaus of the city, under
Supt. Scott Smith, attached to the
city's civilian defense, met in the
assembly hall of the police depart
ment last night, where they listened
to addresses made by DR.. Edward
G. Godfrey, city health officer, and
Den Lahey, marshal of the fire de-
partment. DR.. Godfrey gave min
ute description of the efforts of
the health department in keeping
the city water supply pure, and free
of contamination. The marshal
discussed water, clouds, fogs and
dew, and in addition outlined the
history of Waterbury's water sys-
tenn.
For the benefit of you men at
tached to the Bureau of Water" said
the marshal, "let me inform you
that the East Mountain reservoir
was the first of its kind constructed
for the people of the city; that was
back in 1867. City bonds to the
amount of $250,O0O were sold, the
first issue of it's kind ever held
against the taxpayers of this city,
and to secure the funds from this
| issue, the rate of interest charged
was seven per cent. The first COL
lection was in 1868, and the amount
| received from rents was $3,423.01; at
the end of 1893 and for the years in
advance of that time the total re-
ceiptS were $78,699.37. Waterbury
then had three forms of government,
town, city and school; the water
works were owned by the city, and
all of the expense attached to its
operation was borne by the inside
property owners. The city began
to grow, and demand was made
fore more water. Another effort
was made in 1889 to secure another
bond issue, of $250,0O0.00. The ques-
ton was submitted to the people, but
it was turned down by a vote of
1902 against the issue, and 600 in
favor. But in 1880, the north end
wanted water and there was re-
quest from the water committee for
a storage reservoir to be located in
Vic lCdI VI CdoO dllO
on land located in the town of Pros
pect. These two ideas were car
ried into effect, in spite of some OPP
position; the Cooke street reservoir
was built at an expense of $39,-
$352.08, while the storage reservoir
cost $12,451.17; the Cooke street res
ervoir is now a part of Fulton park;
the Prospect reservoir is still in OPP
Grafton.
How many of you men know that
for a period of ten years or so, wa
ter was pumped into the mains of
the city from the present Mad river
which runs across Plank road near
Harper's Ferry road. Water was
short and although the water shed
was lined with pig stys and chicken
coops, this pump was placed in
operation, and the water sucked into
the mains and consumed by the
people without apparently any i'll re-
suits.
And about this time, the city
committee was looking around for
various sites for additional water
supplies; Lake Quassapaug was
considered, so was Hop Brook at the
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1943-06-22

south end of Middlebury, so was
Lindley brook out Wolcott way, and
SO was Chestnut Hill. The cost of
Lake QuaSsapaug was figured at
$430, 654.00; the area of the lake was
274 acres, the capacity 776,O0O,O0O
gallons; the cost of Hop Brook was
estimated at $240,000.00; Lind
ley Brook at 1858 900; Chestnut Hill
at $4,000. Hop Brook was fav-
ored by the water committee, and
some work actually started. But
later or in 1893 following legis-
lative act, Hop Brook was abandoned
and the northern site selected, the
branch supply known to many as
the Wigwaum. And from here the
city built the Morris reservoir, and
the Shepaug, and is now engaged
in the construction of an additional
reservoir and pipe line"
The marshal paid a glorWing trib-
ute to the late City Engineer r. A.
Cairns, for the results obtained in
his management, and supervision of
all work in connection with the i'm
provement of the city water serv-
ice.
Continuing, the marshal jokingly
declared that water Is deep sub
ject, and at the close may be all
wet, as a result of our talk; but
we are told by the greatest of scien-
fists that the air is nothing but an
immense reservoir of vapor, and
that the vapor is indispensable to
the needs of life, an impalpable gas
which the atmosphere, in combina-
ton with the waters of the sea, is
constantly generating"
Ire marshal spoke about the dew
or bubbles of rain, and reminded his
listeners that in ancient times, it was
the custom of the ladies of state to
rise early in the morning, slip out
of their mansions, and battle their
lovely faces in the wet of the grass,
an insignia of beauty to the lady
members of the court, and well
come acknowledgement of the power
Of the morning dew for successful
and happy marriage in the end.

Big Mass Meeting Here

Lithuanian Council to Protest Persecution of People
of Axis-DOmniated Nations Prominent Speakers

forgotten by neither the Germans
nor the Lithuanians.
Present-day Lithuanians do not
expect freedom to be handed to
them on silver platter; they are
ready to fight for it.
1t is believed that one of the
main reasons why the Germans
have abandoned the formation of
Lithuanian Legion is that they
are fearful of supplying Lithuan-
ians with arms. Mutual distrust is
deep-rooted and even those few
LithuanianS who seemingly collab-
crate with the Germans are thor
oughly disguised with German aims
and greedineSs.
The belief prevails among Lithu-
anians that, after the dissolution of
the Comintern, the remuneration by
Soviet Russia of the annexation of
the Baltic States should follow.
Such move on the part of the
Soviets would clear the atmosphere
of suspicion and fear and would
strengthen resistance to the Ger
mans, thus advancing the chances
of the United Nations for a speed
Ter victory.

ELECTRIC RATES
|. HERE DISCUSSED
Waterbury Should Be
Placed With New England
Cities for Comparison

w T .Jebb. Manager of the Wa
terbury District. Connecticut Light
and Power Company stated today
that only a comparative handful Of
customers in his territory are in the
Is XVIII bracket. Approximately
only 26 percent of the domestic
customers are In this extremely low
use bracket.
Mr.. Jebb commented further that
a much fairer basis Of comparison
is the standing of Waterbury in the
cities and towns in the adjacent
New England and Middle Atlantic
States.
So many wide geographical, eco
nomic and other differences exist
that a comparison on the basis of
the entire country is not nearly as
proper as the comparison with the
adjacent geographical section. On
this last proper basis of comparison,
the electric rates of Waterbury, Mr..
Jebb said, compare very favorably.
