TO PURIFY THE PASSAIO.
A Bill Prepared to stop Further
Pollution of the River.
opeciol 10 the Jerscu Citu Nears.

NDtGtuL - nc CC5ocU Cteu~fcWcs
PATERSON, Oct. 80, 1895 "A meeting
was held in the rooms of the Board of Trade
here Yesterday, at the invitation of the
State Board of Health. The meeting was
called for the purpose of preparing a bill to
prevent the pollution of the Passaic River.
Delegates from thu localities along the
Passaic River, from Dundee Dam down to
Newark Bay, were out in full force. The
following permanent officers were elected:
President, DIR. Van Schott of Passaic; Secre-
tary, DR.. Exton, of Arlington. DR.. Mitchell
of the State Board of Health said that three
or four years ago the matter was brought to
the attention of the Acknowledgement and
by the Legislature to prevent such a NUS
ance. In the House of lS94-95 a bill to
further the movement was introduced, but
nc attention was paid to it owing to the ia ct
that it had no backing by the people who
should have been most interested in it. A
committee was then appointed to draft a bill
for the next Legislature. They returned, af-
ter a recess of thirty minutes, and the fol-
lowing bill was presented:
Be it enacted by the Senate and General
ASSeIuDlt VI UL6 Obdtc " 1NOW OSioOy. IL
the State Board of Health be and the same
is hereby directed and authorized to consider
a general system of drainage for the relief of
the valley of the Passaic River and for the
protection of the public water supplies of
the cities and towns dependent upon said
river.
And be it enacted, That the said State
Board of Health shall nav power to employ
| such engineering and other assistance as
may be necessary for carrying out the OBJ
iects of this act; the State Board shall con-
| slider the various methods TO the whole or
any portion of the territory herein mem
| toned, and shall report its conclusions in
| print to the Legislature without unnecessary
| delay for a whole or a portion of the said
territory: said Board shall include in its re-
port suitable maps and plans of the territory
| to be drained and the methods of executing
the work, an estimate Of the cost of the work
and a recommendation as to the methods of
| apportioning such cost.
Provided, That the whole amount ex-
pended under the provisions of this act shall
not exceed $4,000.
A committee of five was then appointed to
nave the bill printed and copies of it dis
trlhuted among the Boards of Health in the
districts interested and to have the bill
finally brought to the attention of the Legis-
lature. The committee appointed was Drs.
Leal, Philhower, Exton, Lealback and Mr..
Baker. The committee then adjourned.

THE Newark Advertiser fastened
upon Mr.. r. v. Lindabury yesterday the

services. OF course this is a fearful
~thing-at least, we suppose it must be,
for the Advertiser" copper fastens the
charge by printing a fac-simile of the
check. We do not exactly see, ourselves,
where the moral turpitude comes in;
but it seems to be somewhere in connec-
tlon with the fact that Mr.. Lindabury
was counsel for the county and fought
the race tracks at one and the same
time. This, the Advertiser seems to
think, was very bad, indeed. It may not
seem SO to the people of average NOR
atty; but the Advertiser is very far
from being of average morality, and so
