STATE'S WATER COURSES DEFILED| NORWICH BULLETIN, FRIDAY. Health Officers Sound Warning Over Pollution of Streams— Fish Life Already Destroyed—Will Drive Out Dairying Pursuits Along Banks—Oyster Industry Threatened. New Haven, Conn., March 27.—Defil-| ing of the water courses of the state! and the continuation of the policy of . non-interference by the state because health officers are obliged to prove that conditions are “detrimental of public health,” will bring about irre- parable injury to the state, In the opin- ion of many of those who spoke at the conference of health officers of Con- necticut today. Streams are becoming so filthy in many places that they are comparable to open sewers; fish life in them has ceased, and use of the water is likely to drive out of existence the dairying pursuits which have fiourish- ed on their banks. Those who dis- cussed the general question of pollu- tion of the waters of the state, after several prepared papers had been read, | did not mince their words in describing | conditions. Menace to Oyster Industry. ! Ex-Senator Franklin L. Homan of | this city told of the menace to the oys-| ter industry which has come by lack of | control of the pollution of the tidal ‘waters, and he said the prospect ahead was a gloomy one for the cultivators of shellfish unless the state or the fed- eral government steps-in quickly Sop from Manufacturing Interests. Carleton E. Hoadley of New Haven /| county, who attended his last conven- | tion as a heaith paltry sums dolted out by the state officer, said that the| - aspect of pollution, said that there is on the records of the superior court an injunction in favor of Platt Broth- ers restraining the city of Waterbury | from emptying its sewage into the Naugatuck river. Why it had not been enforced Mr. Hoadley could not say, but probably it was because Platt Brothers did not wish to. Fish and Game Killed OFf. J. M. Crampton, superintendent of the fish and game commission, said he | was interested in fish and game. Both are kill>d off by polluted sireams. described some conditions with which he had met. On one of the streams in the state, while fishing, bridge at least eight were bodies of cats and dogs.

All the while these manufac-| turers were having the refuse from their plants dumped into the waters of the state. They would not adopt means to end this poliution simply because it involve: some expense. The manu- | facturers, however, began to realize! that the health officers—the men who were trivng to keep people in better; health—were gaining their point. In the last legislature when the manufac- | turers felt that theyv could not longer stand the pressire, they agreead to have | the subject investigated by the state| board of health.

Mr. Hoadley, referring to the legal Simple Home Treatment for Objectionable Hairs (Tollet Talks) ' Here is a toilst help you should re- | mentber, because it may at some time, be the means of saving you from em- barrassment: To quickly and pain- lessly remove hair or fuzz from chin, lip or cheek, apply a thick paste mada | by mixing together powdered delatone | and water.

Interest has been added to the Wa- terford town meeting called for Sat- urday afternoon for the purpose of ing the state appropriation of $8,000 on the Hartford turnpike by the dis- tribution among the citizens of the town of a circular, giving a resume of the movement started about two T to improve the highway the attitude of Waterford in the matter. After giving a brief history of the movement the circular states that six of the eight towns have pledged them- selves to have contracts made for the improvement and asks if Waterford and Montville are to repudiate the ctmen and stand on the honor of Waterford from “does anyone the intelligence to know our own minds?’ It urges the ¢ ens “in the face of this chance of lowering our standing and dignity, let us arous show {0 Eastern Connecticut in general and the state highwayr commissioner in partic- ular that we have not become subject to any one man or men, that we havae not last our identity and that we, the citizens still rule Waterford.” In an interview First Selectman A. H. Lanphere of Waterford is quoted as saying Regarding the letter which written by a New Londoner and tributed among the citizens terford, I will say that any document or letter to which the writer |is ashamed to put bis signature, will not weight with the citizens of Waterford.” “A prominent lawyer with an of- fice in New London told me this morn- ing that he had been offered a retain- er by a New London man to attend this town meeting in Waterford Sat- 1 urday to take sides with the people in favor of the Hartford turnpike proposition. Proof of this assertion will be furnished if necessary.” Suit has been brought in the su- perior court by Receiver Charles F.
