PASSAGES FILTH.
Official Statement From the River
Inspector for Newark.

The Newark Street and Water Commis-
sioners at their Meeting yesterday re-
ceived the report Of Passaic River Inspec-
tor Henry j. Mahler. This report, read
in connection, with the account OF the
typhoid fever, epidemic In Newark.
may prove interesting for this city and
Newark are both supplied with Pas
sale water. There has go far been abont
sixty typhoid fever cases reported in
Newark. and that the epidemic is nos de-
ereasing Is apparent, for eight new cases
were reported yesterday. An effort is 0e-
ing made by sumo members Of the city
Board of Health 10 show that the typhoid
fever cases are caused by drinking well
water. This report does not look as II
this theory is correct.
Since my last report to your Board l have re-
peatedly patrolled the Passaic river to the city
Of Passatc, and also It's tributaries, The con
dition Of the river has been about the same as
in my previous report There is a slight in
crease Of sewage emptying into the Passaic
river from the sewers ia Passaic city; also wash
and waste water from the different mills which
are along the river and Tail Race tributary.
The mills are not as careful as they have been
in regard to what flows from the works, but are
following the example set by the city OF Passaic.
The city has about AS sewer connections and
the sewers are flushed out about twice day,
which certainly leaves the PasSaic River In such
a condition that 1t causes much complaint
II have found the Passaic River from Passalc
City TO Bsllville az times ia a very bad and
filthy condition, with occasionally dsad an Enal
in H. During the month Of June the river was
extremely bad Cool weather and rain in
July made the river better in appear
ancs, still this did not lessen the
the pollution that flows into it, Those branches
of the river which flow through the city OF
Orange are extremely filthy and smell bad II
the authorities Of Orange 4would clean them il
would do much good.
Tt is well known that the city OF Orange has
commenced to build sewers Pipes are being
laid 10 different streets now and a big brick
sewer is being constructed for the drainage of
Parrow Brook and surface water. These sewers
will be completed about December l. 1922 The
sewers, however viii not be connected until
after Newark gets its new water supply.
