The local wrecklng company
which contracted to demolish the

been unable to obtain regular help
and the work has been done strict

on when labor has been available
1t has been reported. 1t is believed

end of August, however, Water
bury's traffic fatalities were four
less than for the previous years

duction OF SO percent for fatalities

An interesting item is that though
there have been "a less accidents in

of the total accidents as compared
to 81 per cent for last year. Twenty
five persons were injured in 10 per-

Though the police department is
reasonably satisfied with Water

we are not satisfied with the steady

cred.
Last year the city put 100000 in
this project, and this year sold an
other $185,OOO in bonds Of which
100000 was put into the Pitch
project, and $4,000 into the pipe
line. L. Y. DeFelice and Sons, Of
New Haven, are the contractors.
Quefied as to the progress being
made by his department on the
question Of a sewage disposal sys-
tenn for waterbury, Mr.. Root stated
that the local committee plans to
meet with the State Water Com
mission some time in early october,
and discuss their present findings
He pointed out that many factors
must be considered for such a pro-
posed project, and added, that
among these, one already being
actively worked upon, Is the testing
OF samples taken from the Mad
River, and such like sources, and
from the city's principal sewers, in
the attempt to determine just what
will feed into the central disposal
plant.
OF paramount Importance, among
the other factors entering into such
a proposal, Is the need for anticipat-
ing the future growth Of the city and
the demands relative to 1t. Among
the primary steps to be taken, will
have to be the construction Of fill
ter beds for handling the sewage,
and with Of the employees Of the
city engineering department now in
the armed services, and z more In
specialized fields Of government
work, progress, on any such under
taking, would naturally be slow.
Mr.. Root also pointed out, that
his department has been working
on its share Of the postwar plans
for Waterbury, as requested by
Mayor Monagan, and originally Ind
tiated by the late Mayor vincent
A. Scully. These plans cali for
vast improvements In city highway.

etc., and win become q reality when
the war has been successfully con-
cluded, and the restrictions on labor,

tons for 1914

Bernard Mcdonald, chairman Of
the local Victory Garden campaign
advises that it will profit later, Il
gardeners start now to take actor
in preparation for the 1914 food
program.
Warning that 1t Is necessary, al
this time Of the year, to begin clean
ing up the garden to prepare it fol
the winter, he recommends that all
weeds, dead grass, and corn-stalks
be burned to prevent the spread Of
infectious plant diseases.
He suggested that an attempt be
made by those, who last year spad-
ed up lawns and the like. for q gar
den area, and who still have the
sods that were dug up. that they
gather these sods, and utilize them
as fertilizer by the following meth
cd.
Select a small space in the gar
den and place q layer Of sod with
the grass part down. On top OF
this throw a layer Of soil an inch
or so In depth. Add another layer
Of sod, sthen more soil. and repeat
In this manner until all the sod has
been used. During this process, Q

meet the wave action, affected by
winds, and the like.
This, plus the Shepaug Reservoir,
will give the city an excellent water
supply. Commenting that it was
well that we had a wet spring Mr..
Root said that all water supplies
such as Shepaug, Wigwann and
Morris are now low, but not alarm
ingly so, however. To illustrate
the heavy demands made by the city
on these various sources, through
out the year, he pointed out that,
TO date, 418 million gallons OF water
have been Withdrawn from Shepaug
alone. '1n no time" he said,
"the structure Of the Pitch Reser-
voir will have proven the need for
its construction.
OF the original 100000 grant
promised by the Federal government
for It's share in this project, $780,
600 has been received to date. The
last payment was received by the
city IN August and amounted to
100000. The original agreement
calls for the government to make
the final payment upon completion
Of the reservoir. .,
The present estimated cost Of the
construction is $875, 900, which Is an
increase over the original estimate
Of 1891, 900. The reason for this
increase is based upon the fact that
the original evaluation was based
on excavation per cubic foot, and
when work was started great many
unforeseen obstacles were encount-
