TO Be DECIDED BY VOTE.
The Qualified Electors of Somerset
VIII Decide the Sewerage
Problem
A nArrER or yIrAL IMPORTANCE

BY reference to our advertising coll
umns it will be seen that the borough sn-
thorities have passed an ordinance look
ing 10 the Submission Of the question OF
constructing a system of public sewers
and the erection Of municipal building
10 vote OF the electors OF the town, aud
Il is understood that an election for this
purpose will be advertised in time 10
have vote taken on the day of the gem
eral election. Tie question of sewerage
is one of vital importance, and can not
be much longer deferred without serious
ly threatening the health Of the entire
community. Improper drainage and
means of carrying off sewage have been
the cause of virulent fever epidemics in
the various military camps located in
Cuba and at bone, ard hundreds Of brave
soldiers have died because proper SANTA
ry conditions were not provided for them.
Practically the same conditions are grad
ually presenting themselves to the resi-
dents Of Somerset. and are annually be-
coming more and more alarming. Ty-
phoid aud malarial fevers assert them
selves almost every month In the year and
in nine cases out of ten find their victims
in the lower sections Of the town, where
the foul matter of the more elevated
sections are surely der osited through
natural and artificial channels. With the
adoption of water and the construction
of sinks the danger has rapidly increased
ed, and it is time that tie residents of
Somerset look the matter squarely in the
face and provide relief before it Is too late,
when an epidemic of deadly fever will
imperatively compel them 70 take the
protective measures for the public health
that has already been too long delayed.
It is believed that the town can be pro-
vided with a system of public sewers at
an expense not exceeding $4,000, and it
seems that it would be the part ofwisdom
and self-preservation 10 authorize the
work at the earliest opportunity.
The burden of local taxation is already
oppressive, but borough expenditures
can safely be cut down in different direc-
tions without operating against the public
health, and even though local taxation
should be measurably increased for a
considerable number Of years for the
purpose Of improving tine sanitary con-
ditions of the town and guarding against
deadly disease, the expense will be more
than justified by the benefits obtained.
This is a question that should appeal
directly to every citizen and should be
carefully eanvased and weighed before
election day.

HEALTH OFFICIALS INVESTIGATING INTO THE

HEALTH OFFICIALS INVESTIGATING INTO THE
CAUSE OF THE EPIDEMIC
Paterson Dec. "a tSpeciaD.-There has been 60
ing on In the last week investigation by the
Paterson Board OF Health as 10 the causes OF the
present typhoid outbreak in this neighborhood
The yearly recurrence OF the disease in form
approaching an epidemic is causing some con-
sternaton to the local health authorities. and that
somo prompt measures should be taken TO stop
the YEARLY ravages OF the disease Is becoming i'm
perative The Health Board has at present under
examination n sample OF Passaic River water.
which on analysis is said to show n horrible state
of Nth What the OF the condition OF the
water is however. may not be designated by the
local authorities.
The Little Falls medical men agreed that the
East Jersey Water Company Is responsible for the
filthy state of the river. and the disease conse-
guent thereon. The water company has found
that the normal flow OF the Passaic Is not rapid
enough 10 carry the used water with sufficient
speed away from their turbine wheels and pumps.
TO accelerate the flow the river has been dredged
TO a depth OF ten feet from Little Falls to High
Bridge The result is, as Little Falls medical
man puts It, that all the pent-up Nth OF years
which has collected in the river bed II reused
es0m Its slumbers and sent forth to breed disease
