1 (AP) Business and: professional women, AS wells as mere housewives, today presented a barrage testimony to legislative Judiciary Committee favoring the inclusion of women in compulsory jury service in Massachusetts. Called "Affront" Male ego was somewhat ruffled as several witnesses declared it was "an affront to women" having the right to trial by jury of their peers, to be tried by a jury of men. Th audience, predominantly feminine, filled a great part of Gardner Auditorium and showed its sentiment during presentation of opposition to such legislation. by continual murmuring and occasional laughter. Senator Sybil Holmes (R-Brookline), sponsor of a bill which would make women, with certain exceptions, liable to jury service, led the proponents of the measure.

Mrs. Leslie B. Cutler, Needham housewife, told the committee that women, now often seen in courtrooms as judges, attorneys, stenographers, plaintiffs and defendants, should not be barred from the jury box. The committee took the proposal under advisem*nt. Four Delegates From Springfield aIrs.

River Urged in Report Springfield and Nearby Cities and Towns Asked to Study Plan for Works; Nine Recommendations for Valley Area Listed By Donal F. MacPhee: BOSTON, Feb.

1-Legislation giving the State Department of Public Health full authority to direct any city or town in the drainage arca of the Connecticut River to install and maintain works for the treatment of sewage is asked by a special commission created by the Legislature and headed by Dr. Henry D. Chadwick, state commissioner of public health to look matter of pollution in various rivers of the Commonwealth. The proposed authority asked by the commission in its report filed today would also apply to the Housatonic, the. Hoosick and several other.

rivers in the State. Ask Funds for Survey In addition to this the State Department of Public Health, through Chadwick and his fellow commissioners, asks a legislative appropriation of $3500 to assist in A prospective WPA project calling for Federal funds a total of $70,759.00 to make surveys and gather data for the purpose of supplying basic information for the proper planning for the improvement of existing conditions. In that part of its report dealing with the Connecticut River the commission makes nine specific recommendations, as follows: 1, That the city of Springfield, acting jointly with the towns of West Springfield, Agawam, and Longmeadow, study a plan for the collection and treatment of the sewage of these municipalities at works to be: constructed near. the mouth of the Westfield River: 2, that the city of Chicopee study a plan for the collection and treatment of the sewage of that city; 3, that the city of Holyoke give consideration to a plan the collection and treatment of the sewage of that city; 4, that the town of South Hadley give consideration to a plan for the collection and partial treatment of the sowage of that town; 5, that the town of Amherst give consideration to the construction of works for the partial treatment of the sewage in that town in substantial accordance with a plan recently prepared and submitted by its consulting engineers; 6, that the city Northampton and town of Easthampton consider the preparation of a plan for the collection and partial: of the sewage of these municipalities, preferably at a joint located in the the vicinity of the Ox Bow; 7, that town of' Deerfield give consideration to the partial treatment of the sewage of the village of South Deerfield; 8, that town of Montague give consideration. to and works plan for the an partial intercepting' treatment of the sewage of the Turners Falls section; 9, that tho town of Greenfield give further consideration to a plan for the treatment of its sewage at a place not far from its existing outlet.

Pollution Increasing The department's survey, the report states, produced no evidence to substantiate a contention that the condition of the Connecticut River at any point in Massachusetts is such as to be: dangerous to the public health. But there is reason to believe, the report continues, "that the degree of pollution is increasing a and will persist unless collection and treatment works are provided." "The local nuisances in the immediate vicinity of many of the sewer outlets also: will persist unless works are provided. In view of the fact that the population of. the cities and towns of the Connecticut River Valley. must increase in the normal development of this valley the need of suitable works for sewage treatment is becoming increasingly apparent.

"The river has not yet reached the nuisance stage and even below Springfield is not as objectionable as the Neponset River, the Aberjona River, the Assabet River, or Alewife Brook, at the time of the adoption of mandatory legislation designed to reduce the pollution of these streams. It is probably not necessary to adopt legislation. in connection with the Connecticut- River as stringent as that provided for these other streams. Moreover, it probably is not necessary to require as great a refinement of the treatment of sewage or industrial wastes discharged into the Connecticut River as the amount water available in the Connecticut River for dilution is considerable. In vicw of the fact that certain floating matters discharged with domestic sewage and lateral sewers with trunk sewers serving each of four pumping stations.

The mayor was not ready to comment on the advisability of the Department Public Health given authority over local communities. He indicated more study will have to be given to that phase of the problem. EN Alderman Brown also declared the city has not adopted the West Side disposal plant plan. He said the flood committce was to have met this week, but probably will not meet until next week because the mayor will be busy with other committee meetings until then. The committee will study the Health Department's recommendations at its first meeting.

Russia's Coast Defenses Tripled Commissar Tells of Strengthening in Five Years MOSCOW, Feb. 1 (AT)-Soviet Russia's coast defenses 'have been tripled during the last five years, the navy commissar disclosed today. Writing in the Communist party newspaper Pravda, Commissar Peter Alexandrovich Smirnoff said: "'The number of our fortified zones which protect the most important political and economic regions on Soviet shores has been increased three times. It is very important that those fortified zones have been supplied with heavy artillery." Mobile batterics have been established, and coast defense guns have been increased one and one-half times, the commissar "The navy: has developed both in quantity and in quality, particularly the submarine fleet." Smirnoff said. He stated that Soviet battleships, built.

in 1911 and 1915, have been modernized. He disclosed that a new commander, a young officer named Kuznetzoff, has taken charge of the J'acific fleet, succeeding Admiral Grigory Kirieff.

Harrinton- -Hudson Liberty St. Phone 4-6116. certain industrial wastes create offensive conditions on the banks of this stream in a manner which may be dangcrous to the public health. legislation should he adopted which will authorize the Department of Public Health to require the treatment of the sewage for the removal of the solid floating matters from the domestic sewage or to provide additional treatment where necessary hefore: it is discharged into the Connecticut River." On the question of constructing sewers on the combined plan for the removal of both domestic sewage and storm water, the commission strongly recommends that the construction of combined sewers be discontinued and that all extensions in the future be made, upon the separate plan.

Springfield Situation In regard to the problem as it specifically affects Springfield the commission report speaks as follows: of the pollution of the Connecticut River by domestic sewage in Massachusetts is from the City of Springfield and same is true: of the Connecticut River in the vicinity Indian Orchard. Most of the sewers of this city are combined sewers designed for the removal of domestic sewage and storm water, though in recent years some separation of storm water from the domestic sewage has been made. "The engineers of the city have carried on much work of late with a view to the construction of intercepting of which the dry weather flow of a sewers and pumping stations by means the existing sewers: will be conveyed in a southerly direction and thence ultimately pumped across the river to treatment works to be constructed on vacant land in Agawam near the mouth of the Westfield River where the sewage will he partially treated before being discharged. Consulting engineers have retained and estimates of cost have been made. "It is understood that the city committed to start work on the conis It is understood that a contract has struction on of treatment works by 1942.

recently been awarded for the construction of a portion of the intercopting sewer, but the plan relative to disposal works has not as yet been completed. It has not seemed ndvisable for the engincers of the Works Progress Administration to carry on any surveys this respect other than to: confer with the local engineers from time to time. In connection with the further studies of this problem it would scem advisable that consideration be given to the treatment of sewage from West. Springfield, Longmeadow and that of the thickly settied portions of Agawam at the works herein referred to." Holyoke Problem Holyoke problem: is treated thusly: sanitary surveys In Holyoke have shown that there are municipal outlets through which the sewage is discharged into the Connecticut River without treatment and that no submerged outlets are provided. These outlets vary from 10 inches in diameter 9 feet.

6. inches in diameter. The city of Holyoke does not appear to have made any investigation as to the collection of its sewage for disposal through sewage treatment works but the engineers of the Works Progress Administration have made A. preliminary study for the collection of the sewage at treatment works in the southerly section of the city. The collection of the sewage in Holyoko is a difficult problem due to the large amount of industrial wastes and the fact that the canal system and the various tail races at at certain mills make it economically impossible to construct a server to interecpt the dry weather flow of sewage from all of the existing sewers with the possible exception of the sewer at Smiths Ferry and to carry the sewage in a southerly direction where it can be pumped into treatment works.

"In the collection of the sewage in this manner four or five pumping stations would be required and it. he necessary to install pumps for pumping the sewage and industrial wastes from the paper mills. One location suggested by the Works Progress Administration engineers for treatment works is on municipal land in the industrial section of the city near Berkshire St. and the other site is on a farm about a half mile north of the Holyoke- West Springfield line. The site near Berkshire St.

is rather. close to a considerable population, but covered works are constructed this site may be a feasible one. The other site near the Holyoke Westfield boundary line is reasonably well isolated." As far as South Hadley is concerned the report speaks as follows: "In the town of South Hadley, which divided into two. villages used largely for residential purposes, there are two separato sowerage systems in South Hadley Center and four. municipal sewer outlets at South Hadley Falls.

One of the latter outlets is submerged in the Connecticut River immediately above the Holyoke dam. It has been impracticable thus far for the engineers of the Works Progress Administration to complete the preliminary survey of methods of collecting and disposing of the sewage from this town." Survey Made "In addition to the investigations and examinations referred to the report continues, "the engineers of the Works Progress Administration have made survey for the purpose of determining the most suitable means of conveying the sewage from the Greenfield main sewer outlet to a suitable point for final disposal, and they have selected a site for necessary works at a point near the junction of the Green River and the Deerfield River a short distance south of the present terminus of the main sewer of the town. They also have surveyed from a point near the outfall of the present Northampton sewerage SYStem in a southerly direction to: the Oxbow at Mount Tom together with branch surveys from the Easthampton sewage filter beds to the Oxbow. "The sewage from Northampton is discharged into the Mill River through temporary outlets approved by the Department of Public Health only through 1915. The town of Easthampton has provided settling tanks, sludge beds and sand filters, but these works are inadequate, and objectionable conditions result below both municipalities.

The survey shows that it is practicable to remove the sewage from these two municipalities to the Oxbow where an area of land adequate for the construction of suitable treatment works is available. An examination of the site by engineers of this department shows that it is a suitable one for the location of joint treatment works for these two municipalities." The spade work of the investigation has been conducted by the WPA and the sifting and annotation of the data, by the department engineers.

Springfield Has No Plan For West Side Plant Springfield has no plan to construct a sewage disposal plant in Agawam or on the west bank of the Connecti- I cut River, Mayor Roger L. Putnam said yesterday in correcting a misrepresentation in the statement issued by the State Department of Public Health.

That body is recommending legislation to permit the state health department to order towns to build sewage treatment plants in the Connecticut River. watershed. man of the Flood ole Protection CommitAlderman Leonard Brown, chairtee, opposed the idca of giving the State full power to order communities to install and maintain sewage treatment plants, but he declared that he felt communities in Connecticut Valley would take the steps voluntarily, as Springfield is doing. Springfeld is committed to construct a disposal plant by 1942 as a result -of A reso-: lution by the previous City Council acting to get the PIVA intercepting sewer and pumping station project. 'The mayor agreed that the suggestion of a co-operative study by Springfield, West Springfield, Agawam and Longmeadow was one that should be considered.

He said there should be a study also by Chicopee, Springfield and Ludlow to explore the DOSsibilities of a common plant to control effluent passing into the Chicopee River. tiro Systems Needed "Springfield will have to build two systems, unquestionably," he said, "for the Indian Orchard section emptying into the Chicopee River is entirely separate from the rest of the city which flows. into the Connecticut." The city's next move toward sewdisposal will be to make A complete canvass of the possible systems that might be used, mayor said. The plan to construct a. plant in the Agawam meadows is only a suggestion, and has not been accepted nor favored more than any other plan, he declared.

The only concrete steps toward sewage disposal taken: by Springfield are in the designs of intercepting sewers and pumping stations which were laid out so that the sewage in dry weather periods will be carried to the South End. A treatment plant can be tied in with the system; but there are no plans at all for a plant at this Juncture. Even the system of intercepters is incomplete, only sections being planned to. link..
