Under the Goo-Goo method of police
administration, exposed in the removal of
Patrolman DUFFY by order of the May
or, we are somewhat at sea where to look
fol' responsibility or authority. 1t ap-
pears that the captain of the district can
not be held responsible because he has the
Chief to fall back upon and we are given
to understand by the DUFFY case that
the Chief may shift the burden of respon-
sibility on TO the Mayor. This makes
business with the police department some
what puzzling.
AT oil events, gambling is going on in
this town, for all the protestations of the
Chief of Police. We present the proof of
the playing OF policy, and il the captain
of the district, the Chief, or the Mayor,
wants us to take cathode photograph of
the interior of any one Of number of
rooms where other gambling games
it. We don't propose, however, to use
any Of our reporters as spoilers for the
police department., because they have
other business to attend to, and, besides,
we don't believe that members of the
newspaper profession should be called
upon TO 90 nosinp after vice and associat-
ing with the vicious, any more than fell
lows in the legal profession, practioing
physicians, salesmen or college students.
1t is strictly the business of the police to
keep the town clear OF vice, SO far as that
is possible. And we have been given to
understand that Chief OF Police BAKER
puts no limit on the possibilities.

until the meteorological sxa mination
should prove the same satisfactory.
There are few things In this world,
however, which are absolutely perfect,
and have very little doubt but that an
average rate of filtration OF about 1000,
900 gallons per acre, per "a hours, could
be relied upon to remove, in passing
through a suitably constructed natural
filter bed, on the average, about ninety
nine per cent. of the bacteria originally
contained In the applied water.
Much depends upon the climate in
regard to the construction and working
of natural filter beds. In England, open
filter beds are used altogether by the Lon
don water companies, the mean jan
uary temperature OF London be-
ing about 3S.5 degrees. The
mean January temperature OF Berlin,
Germany, is about 81 degrees. Open
filters were originally used there, but
owing to a decreased efficiency during
the colder months of the year, they have
been abandoned for covered filters, and
quite a number OF European cities. whose
mean January temperature ranges from
20 degrees to 81 degrees, have either
passed through similar experience or
else originally built covered filter beds.
The natural filter bed at Lawrence,
Mass, that have previously mentioned,
Is not covered; but so much trouble has
been caused by ice forming over the filter
bed during the winter months, and so
much difficulty experienced in scraping
the surface of the filter during this period,
that the designer of the filter bed, recon-
mended more than year ago that it
should be rooted over.

MECHANICAL FILTRATION.
A long series of experiments which
were conducted under my direction about
two years ago demonstrated that the
water of the Pawtuxet river. from which
the city of Providence derives its water
supply, could be purified bacteriologi-
cally snd chemically, by mechanical
filtration at the average rate Of lbs, 900, 600
gallons per acre per twenty-four hours,
In conjunction with basic sulphate of
alumina, applied at an average rate of 6-10
OF grain per gallon Of water filtered as
well as 1t could he done by the best con-
structed filter beds, while filtering at an
average rate OF about 2, 200, 900 gallons per
acre per twenty-four hours. An analysis
of a sample of the basic sulphate of alu-
nina used curing the above experiments
is as follows:

NATURAL FILTRATION.

Natural filter beds have teen in use in
Europe for many years, and, in a large
number OF Instances, they have, without
doubt, prevented epidemics of cholera,
typhoid fever and other diseases in the
localities where they are situated. Prop
erly constructed natural filter beds can In
my opinion be relied upon to do good
and efficient work, in the majority of
places, with an average rate Of filtration
of about 100000 gallons per acre per
twenty-four hours. The large filter bed
recently built at Lawrence, Mass. was
designed to filter at the rate of z, COO, 900
gallons per acre Per twentyfour hours.
and the new filter beds at Hamburg,
Germany, are intended to filter at the
average rate OF about 1,e00, 900 gallons per
acre, per twenty-four hours. The average
rate of filtration OF the filter beds of the
London water companies, TO the inspec-
tion of which devoted considt ra ble time
a number Of years since, is rather more
than 2, 00o, 900 gallons per acre per twenty
four hours; but these companies all have
large settling basins, which are used In
conjunction with the filter beds, the area
OF the settling basins ranging from about
the same area of the filter beds TO an
area of about eight times that of the filter
beds, and the number Of days supply
that they will hold ranges from Ii to
about 1i.3 times the capacity of the filters.
a
terra IL known TO be removed by sedi-
mentation I'm passing through the settling
basins, and, therefore, IL is not essen
tial for the filter beds themselves to do
as good work as would be necessary IL
settling basins were not used.
personally conducted series OF OK
reriments few years sgo, in conuec-
tion with natural and mechanical filtra-
tion experim pnts, ard found that a per-
centage of about 10 per cent. OF water

while passing through settling basin,
the capacity OF which was about one-half
the daily supply Of water drawn from
the settling basin.

ENGINEER wEsroN's OPINION.

Engineer Weston OF Providence, II. l.,
in special to The tar-lndependnent,t to-
day says:
Editor Star Independent:
Your esteemed favor asking me what,
in my opinion, would be the most de-
sirable kind of filter plant for purify
ing the water Of the Susquehanna river
at Harrisburg, and the different advan-
tages Of natural and mechanical filtration
received.
From the brief data with which you
have furnished me, am not able to form
an opinion as to what would be the most
suitable filter for your city. 1t would
depend largely upon local conditions and
the chemical constituents OF the river
water, with bctn OF which / am un-
familiar. Then, again, 1t would make
difference as to whether 1t is the intention
to have the water filtered in such man
ner as will in all probability prevent
disease germs from finding their way into
the eiIluent water, or il it is only the in
tention to remove the sediment and dis
coloration.
