The water | commiasion is composed of Frederic C. Walcott, of Norfolk (now U. 8. senator), George T. Kimball, of New Britain, and Walter R. Steiner, of Hartford. Pollution of the state's streams is dealt with exhaustively in the report, One inevitably comes to the conclu- sion that few cities and towns in the state, situated near any of its streams, can point with pride to it- self. Among the cities dealt with in the report is New Britain, to wit: "‘A number of years ago the city of New Britain constructed a sew- age filtration disposal plant in a hatural sand and gravel bank. Owing to certain industrial wastes disch: ed into the sewers the beds gradu- ally lost their efficiency. Another factor contributing to this result was the rapid growth of the city with a corresponding increase in the volume of sewage to be filtered. The filter beds have not been increased in area to care for the steadily mount- ing volume, with the unavoidable result that they have practically ceased to function. The experience of thig city illustrates very forcibly the necessity of providing for ex- pansion of the sewerage system as the demands placed upon it grow with an increasing population. Necemsary expenditures made from time to time, as occasion demands, are much more economical than al- lowing conditons to reach the point | where the whole plant must be re- built. “New Britain's sewage Is, as a censequence, reaching the Connecti- cut river via Piper's brook and the ; Bebethe river in practically its raw | state. A great deal of work has been | done by the commission in the study of the situation as a result of which an engineering survey has been car- ried out at a cost of approximately $7.500. The program was progress- ing satisfactorily when a change in the city government took place and | the new administration has not yet | taken up this problem."” The situation rcmains about as stated. There are few grains of com- fort in it. For the city to contribute a notable share toward elimination of water pollution will cost money. Anything that costs money riust be Randled with gloves. So long as there is no compulsion about it. so long | the state does not insist that something tangible be done, there is little likelihood that the cities of the state will act until conditions become “unbearable.” | By going back to the 1925-26 re- ‘Port of the State Water Commission and turning to what was yemarked | about New Britain's efforts at that | time, one finds something interest- ing to compare with the 1928 re- port. The 1925-26 report the following: included i . The attitude of the city of New Britain towards the fuestion | and the steps which this city is now taking are illuminating and highly interesting. | “Very early in the existence of 1he | |c. Burkitt, | who has been leading the opposition charged into the Cennecticut river. 1t seems proper that the atate should be the first to do its part in this program of betterment of the Cen- necticut and therefore, as mentioned above, the mecessary preliminary steps to this end have been taken in so far as the state hospital at Middletown is concerned. “During the month of May, 1926, a meeting was arranged at which were present the mayor of New Brit- ain, several members of the city administration, about 25 representa- tive citizens and the commissioners. As a result of a full discussion of the situation the city, with characteristic energy, immediately appropriated a sum of money sufficient to defray the expenses of a thorough engineer- ing survey. This survey has been made and New Britain now has the necessary information, first, to de- cide the type of treatment plant best suited to local conditions and second, it is in a position to figure costs ac- curately and formulate the neces- sary program for financing the un- dertaking. It might be added that the work is progressing in a most satisfactory manner and if the city's application for authorization for a bond issue is approved by the Legislature (and there appears no reason why it should not be) con- struction work will be begun this coming spring.” But the point is, compare the fore- going with the report of 1928, first quoted. “Characteristic energy” seems to have petered out. END OF A SNAKE EXPERT Charles E. Snyder, former chief of reptiles and mammals at the Bronx Zoo, was one of the world's most skilful men in handling poisonous reptiles. He had many “dangerous encounters” with death-dealing ani- mals and always escaped with his life. He simply knew how; knew the ways, methods and habits of the i creatures and could fool them almost at will, But these cobras, pythons and the dozens of other poisonous reptiles | were all in the zoo. The other day he was hiking in the woods in search tof rattlesnakes. This was a favor- ite amusement. He loved to find and subdue the creatures, pitting his wits against theirs, Somehow he made a mistake. In- stead of cutwitting the snake he was ! bitten. And he died in a hospital despite the injection of rattlesnake | poison serum. Snyder, who was with a friend, had caught 'a bag full” of the rep- tiles before he was bitten. It is inter- esting to note that he, an expert, made a mistake that even amateurs rarely make. He attacked one rat- tler without being on the lookout for its mate nearby. Snakes during this season of the year always travel in pairs; where there is one, the mate is sure to be also. And as Snyder tried to seize the rattler by the tail the mate, under a clump of leaves, struck—"like lightning,” the dis- patches stated, A man who would attempt to seize a rattlesnake by the tail has cnormous confidence in himaelf, Only super-experts would attempt such a thing. The fact that experts are not immune against being bitten when the conditions are against them ought to give pause to the amateurs who often have a limlllr' brand of confidence on tap. Snyder leaves a widow and seven children. THE JERSEY ELECTION The clection in Jersey City will be, over today, which ends the possi- | bility of again hearing the embattled verbal warriors over WOR. No enter- tainment over the air quite cqualled the hectic remarks made by these Jersey politicians as they threw mud at each other. Last night two of the chief mudslingers met in the broad- casting studio, and it required astonishing diplomacy to prevent a fist fight. Frank L. Hague. mayor of Jersey City, is the Democratic boss of New Jersey. Should he and his commis- sioners suffer defeat today it will mean the end of a 20-year career as ' as a Jersey politician. Betting odds, being 5 to 1 in favor of Hague, give the impression the reformers will not win. But James | Jeffersonian Democrat to Hague, says the mayor will lose 2t0 1. % The public is to be congratulated upon seeing an end to one of the most remarkable city election cam- paigns run off in many a day. It has been one freighted with vilification, innuendo, slander and harsh words. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SDAY, MAY 14, 1920, fundamentalistic pastors known. The students, it appears, resented the presence of certain Canadian stu- dents who did not know enough to rise when the Star Spangled Banner was sung; but this was only one of the things they resented. They were in & warlike mood concerping everything done by the board of trustees. It seems funny indeed that, this being the case, none of them thought of the possibility of net studying at the institution under the circumstances. Reforming it by throwing rotten eggs over the walls is one way of not wooing public opinion. CONNECTICUT AND AIRCRAFT INDUSTRY “Naugatuck aircraft firm offered million io sell minority stock inter- est.” “Huge airplane East Hartford.” “Opportunities available to New England business in the aeronautical trades. If anyone supposes that the air- craft industry is standing still they need only to let the foregoing titles tickle their intellect. The aircraft in- dustry is progressing rapidly. It has reached the big business class. And Connecticut has a better opportunity ito profit thereby than most states. The sums of money being bandied {about in stories of aircraft purchases ‘lnd so forth do not run into amall {figures. Indeed, everything in con- nection with this newest of indus- tries runs into six and more figures. Consider, for instance, the Nauga- tuck deal: works plan for “Sale of the minority Interest in the Kimball Aircraft Corpor- ation at a price of $1,000,000 may follow preliminary nego- tiations,” etc. The fortunes that are reputed to | have been made in aircraft stocks re- cently prove conclusively that efforts to advance the science of aviation are practical as well as idealistic. Governor Trumbull, leading man in the aviation business in this state, doubtiess understands that perfect- 1y, and it he has shared in the gen- eral prosperity incident to the ad- vancement of the industry we will give him credit for having possessed that keen foresight which sometimes can be translated into money. Rarely has there been such a sen- sational advance as that which came to the United Aircraft and Trans- port Corporation, which owns the entire capital stock of the Boeing Airplane Co., and about 73 per cent each of the Pratt & Whitney Air- cratt Co. and the Hamilton Aero Manufacturing Co.. and has interests in other aircraft concerns. Incident- ally more than stockholders of the Niles-Bement- Pond Co., who are said by financial writers tto have received their shares change of stock. To be sure, the numbr of men sharing this prosperity is compara- from the way the stock has advanc- ed, to have made profits of $146,- 000,000 within the last month. Back- ed by the National City Bank and its associates, this wing of the aircraft industry is discounting future de- velopments in amazing fashion. Gor- don 8. Rentschler, formerly of Hamilten, O., and new president of the National City Bank, was one of the country’'s first air-minded men, and his brother, Frederick B.

And it must not be overlooked that in the early days of railroading it required just as much courage to be- come financially interested as it |took several years ago to back the airplane industry with dollars. Near- ly every week at present one reads of new air lines being established; indeed, such development has be- come s0 common that it attracts much less attention than formerly. But unlike the history of railroad development, financial interest in the jaircraft business is not a popular pastime. Finances for the aircraft industry from the first have come from a fairly restricted clientele of enthusiasts; as yet there has been no frenzy by the public 10 jump on |the financial planes.
