Reynolds, who is employed as a | timekeeper by the company, was the first witness called by Prosecutor W.

Prosecutor Gibney moved that the complaint be amended to one of forg- ery ,and told the court that the man's greatest fault was drink. He thought Fleherty must have been under the influence of liquor, as there were sev- eral places in the section around the brickyard where they sold more liquor than they do in the saloons. He recommended that the man be bound over. Judge Griswold said that while the was hardly to the saying was unable over, the confession on his own part of signing the boy's name to the check was sufficlent, and he bound him over to the next term of the su- After the case had been closed Mr. Reynolds appeared before the judge and’ in his conversation said that the check was not made out with Emil- lio’s vight name, and he did not con- sider it a forgery for Flaherty to sign this name. Reynolds became excited when he couid not convince the judge that this was so, and told him that ! “it was a dirty, rotten trick.” Judge Griswold at once placed a fine of $7 on the young man for contempt of court and to!d him that another such remark would bring him a jail sen- tence.. Mr. Reynolds at once offered his apology to the court. but it was not until the court had re-opened that he was given a chance to talk.

That the water in the reservoir in “its present condition” fit for general although the amount of ammonia it contains may he high because of the decomposing of Algae is the opinion of Conn, the state bacteriologist, in a letter to First Selectman W.

The communication for- warded in connection with nical results of the anal Plainville s us expressed was the tech- s of the the for state expert the reservoir and sent to labratory at Middletown examination. The report of the analysis complicated and contains too many chemical and medical terms to make it understandable to o make the results of his examination comprehensive to all, Dr. Conn sup- plemented it with the following gen- eral statement: “The condition of the water as shown in the analysis shows no indi cation of pollution although the figures for ammonia are rather high, which may be due to decomposed algae. The number of low and no suspicious organism was found. The water appears to be in good conditian for general use, nothing in the analysis showing suspicion.” Dr. Conn's analysis shows a result similar to that found by other chem- its who have examined the water at various times and substantiates the claim of Health Officer J, there never has been an occasion for stopping the company from supplying its patrons from the reservoir as far as the danger to the health of the community was concerned, The water admittedly s many disagreeable features during the sum- mer months and is not of a qualit which the townspeople would order if they could get any other. The typhoid epidemic brought out this fact in more emphatic manner than ever be- fore, although there has not been a time in vears when the v could 1 led a an or rtion.
