WATSON IN FEAR OF HARTFORD PLAN Gives Yiews oo New Britain Water System Neods The city of Hartford with its wa- ter power extension plans threatens to remove New Britain’s only future source of water supply, according to James J. Watson, chairman of the New Britain board of water commissioners, who apoke to the members of the Lions club today. Mr, Watson referred to several plans for extension of New Britain's aupply. He said New Britain's greatest handicap is the lack ot sufficient storage space. The Shut- tle Meadow lake has a capacity of 1400 million gallons, while plans for raising the lake 50 feet will give it a total capacity of six billion gallons, There are 150 million gallons more in Walcott and 67 million gallous in Whigville. Hartford, he said, has six million gallons in Bloomfield and nine bil- lion gallons in Nepaug. That city has a total storage capacity of 17 billion gallons compared with New Britain's total capacity of 1700 mil- lions. New Britain water is going to waste, he pointed out, the brooks are overflowing and th2 water is running over the dam at 8huttle Meadow voirs, It is impossible to build a dam in Burlington, according to the chair- man, who said the soil is sandy and gravelly and will not hold water. From Bristol to Bunnell brook in the Burlington watershed, the soil is too sandy to hold water. Asking what New Britain will 4o for water 26 or 30 years from now, Mr. Watson said there would be nothing to do but take it from the east branch of the Farmington riv- er. Recently, he said, it was learn- ed that Hartford plans to take all the rights to the east branch, build- ing a basin in Barkhamsted to hold 20 Dbillion gallons and then to tun- nel through the mountain and take the west branch with a capacity of 78 million gallons more, Referring to the plans for a filtra- tion system in the Shuttle Meadow system, Mr. Watson said years ago the city voted down a filtration plan which would have cost $16,5C0. Now, he added, it is necessary to build one that will cost three-quar- ters of a million. He said the filtra- tion plant might climinate the neces- ity of raising Shuttle Meadow reser- voir, ““The only chance New Britain has for a future water supply is in the East Branch of the Farmington river” the chairman said. Chairman Michael W. Bannan of the police board asked why New Britain never was interested in No. 4 reservoir. He was told that the ‘water is of poor quality and so low the expense of pumping it to Shut- tle Meadow would not use. He was asked whether New Brit- ain could buy water from the Ne- paug reservoir. He replied that this was possible and that the Bunnell brook flowing on the New Britain watershed could be turned into the Nepaug reservoir, but that it would be poor business to buy water from Hartford if the city couil develop its own supply. In a membership contest that wiil take the form of a bascball contest throughout the season Ciaude J. Le- roux, Sr., was elected high commi: sioner. M. W. Bannan was elected President of the National League and Attorney W. F. Curtin president of | the American League. and other reser- Pioneer Airplane Camera Man Dead Hollywood, Cal.
