PHILADELPHIA has been wrestling for
Some time with the question of filter

council has voted To
create a loan of three millions of dollars
with which TO provide :. 1iltcring plant.
1t is regarded as altogether probable that
the other branch of the local legislative
next thing thereafter 10 find what system
of filtration is best suited 10 the needs
of the city. The Philadelphia newspapers
have dealt with the subject from a sanitary
and business standpoint. The Public
Ledger, for instance, says that the re-
turn to the city, if filtration should bc
adopted and the city should succeed in
getting IA full supply of clear water free
from germs of disease, would much more

tary and business point of view.
Residents of Washington have also had
occasion to consider the subject Of filtra-

at times even for wishing Some of the
engineers Ma jor Powell, we believe, among
the number-have held that the best pre-
cess for eIiminatingthe mud held in solution
is sedimentation, but the ma jority have
pronounced in favor of filtration. About
one-,hird of the amount just voted by the
Philadelphia council would suffice To give
Washington Il splendid filtering plant

more. The prospect for the increase of the
quantity of Ike water supply is fairly good,
and the improvene OF its quality should
