Hartiord Willg Mayor Batterson of Hartford has given assurance that _the water beard of his municipality stands ready to fill New Britain’s reservoirs should need arise prior to the 1931 seaslon of the general assembly. This gasurance, contained in the Hartford mayor's annual message. permits immediate discontinuance of the program for development of New Britain’s sources and allows the mat- ter to stand in abeyance until the legislature has finally determined the question of whether Hartford shall be allowed to develop expansive water sheds and reservoirs on the east branch of the Farmington river, Mayor Paonessa and water de- partment officials have promised the city of Hartford,the utmost in co- operation in its attempt to bring its | plan to completion. Legislative authority has been voted Hartford to sell water to New Britain, and New Britain to sell to Hartford, under a scheme which is expected eventually to result in a pooling of the water resources of the two municipalities. Meanwhile, committees represent- ing the two cities will be appointed and a survey made. The state sur- vey boards already in existence will have a statement prepared for the 1931 session, when Hufl[ordl bill | will again be introduced. Mayor Batterson, who was severe- ly critical of the Stanley Works, one of the principal objectors to the Hartford plan, says in one part of | message: — “That the demands of the cities and towns for drinking water serves the highest purpose of the com- munity and represents interests paramount to those of private corp- orations is the assertion of Hartford. We also stand ready to ‘treat our neighbors with consideration and on falr terms.” [ The portion of the mayor's mes- bearing upon this point, *‘Addition Supply System. Recom- mended—1928, that it scems desir- able to take immediate steps to have an additional water supply ready for use by the city of Hartford when needed. Pursuant to this recoramen- datien the water hoard have acted with splendid initiative. Conferences were held with iiterested parties in an endeavor to reach an agreement as to terms of an act which would ing to Cooperate - With This City on Water Supply | ed parties, including the private cor- eral community, and that the city of Hartford, on reasonable terms, would be glad 10 sell to its neighbors, in- cluding the city of New Britain, water thus developed through the additional supply system contemplat- ed. It is regrettable that this act was unfavorably reported by the committee on cities and boroughs, particularly since there was reason to believe that a& common ground might have been reached as between the interest of the various towns concerned. That the demands of the cities and towns for drinking water serves the highest purpoese of the community and represents interests paramount to those of private cor- porations, is the assertion of Hart- ford. We also stand ready to treat | aur neighbors with consideragion and | on fair terms. That the lessons in- | cident to this act must be borne in mind for the purpose of securing| favorable legislative action in 1931 is | patent. Pending the meeting of the | . Hartford, together | with New Britain and other interest- | porations affccted, should strive, through negotiation to arrive at a common agreement as to the terms of the act. It is to the interest of all that such an act should pass by unanimous consent in 1931, Mean- while, the water board will add to the land purchases already made in anticipation of the construction work to be done. “In recognition of the fact that| New Britain may possibly require an additional water supply prior to 1931 and in the event that such an emer- gency did arise Hartford has, in the spirit of good will, agreed to the terms of an emergency act whereby it may legally sell to New Britain, water. We are hopeful that this evi- dence on Hartford's part of consider- ation of New Britain's wants will unite both communities in a spirit of friendly cooperation, to the end that 1931 will assure a unity of action in the support of a bill meet the common 1'ommum|y needs.” LARKSPUR PRICE DROPS |Odds on Kentucky Derby Favorite | Cut From 7 to 2 to 5 to 2 Accord- intended to|” KNOWLTON GOES T0 HISDEATH CALMLY m Business Man Elec- trocuted for Murder of Teacher Boston, May 14 (UP)—Frederick Hinman Knowlton, Jr., Framingham business man, paid with his life early today for a murder which ended his clandestine love affair with a Bev- erly school teacher. Amazingly cool and indifferent, the doomed man marched te the electric chair at Charlestown state prison and was executed for the kill- ing of Miss Marguerite Isabelle Stewart,” whose body was found on the Cambridge turnpike in Concord on March 30, 1928, He entered the death chamber at 12:05 a. m. and was pronounced dead less than 6 minutes later, after four shocks had been applied. Although Knowlton had steadfast- ly protested his innocence, no word escaped his lips as he walked the 10 short paces to his doom. The condemned man was playing cribbage wtih his guards when Deputy Warden Herman Godendort informed him that his time had come. Calmly, Knowlton stacked his cards, removed his tortoise-shell glasses, rose and shook hands with those who had befricnded him dur- ing the last days in the death house. He asked tho Rev. William Brad- ley Whitney, Protestant chaplain, to thank newspapermen for the fair | treatment accorded him while re- porting his trial last 5 Then, with head erect, Knewlton accompanied the chaplain and deputy warden into the nearby death chamber. A last minute effort was made vesterday fo save him from the chair and have his sentence com- muted to life imprisonment. late yesterday Governor Frank G. Allen announced he would not intervene. In a letter, written shortly before his death to his sister, Mrs. Jane Bryant, Knowlton rcasserted his in- nocence and declared he was worry- ing more about his family than him- self.
