Washington's interest in the situation Is

fI fe ctious diseases. But with all facts taken
irto consideration and accounting for the
great expanse Of the Potomac watershed
the local supply is remarkably free from
contamination. Yet dnTger exists. Parallel
with the river for many miles runs a canal
that as a rule Is extremely offensive both
to sight and smell. Some years ago the
public became rightly alarmed lest the
river water was being dangerously con-
terminated from this source. 1t was dis
covered that the foul waters CT the canal
were running into the river in places. pre-
sumably carrying with it great volumes
of polluting materials and menacing the
health of the entire community. The agi-
tatioh then aroused resulted in the evil
being somewhat abated, but at all times
since the city has taken its supply from
the Potomac the canal has been and will
always remain a danger point Later
apprehensions have been caused by the
discovery that the refuse of the city Of
Cumberland and other communities above
the dam is systematically poured into the
stream and even now there exists a con-
slant source of possible infection. This
element OF danger will increase in a ire
mendous ratio as the watershed becomes
moro thickly inhabited.

common consent upon a rational basis to
ensure perfect success. and to this end the
formation Of an association such as that

welcomed by all large communities. An
organization of this kind would first be of
service In the investigation of means Of
