Some Things the Water Patrol Found
On Monday last Mr.. G. Z. Hopkins, chief Of
the watershed patrol of Baltimore city, sub
mitted to the Water Board report covering
the work of the patrol for last December
Among other things the report says:
II have had several interviews with Mr.
John Grason, States Attorney for Baltimore
county, and his predecessor in office, Mr. John
| S. Ensor, in reference to the samples of water
secured by the water patrol inspectors and ex
amined by DIR. w. Royal Stokes, the bacteri
ologist of the City Health Board. The opinion
of these gentlemen, after reading section 500
| of the city charter, is that conviction cannot
be obtained unless samples OF water secured
| from the lakes and reservoirs which supply
! the city with water show that the samples con
tain disease germs. You can, therefore, readi
| ~ see that the water patrol is powerless to Sc
| cure indictments, unless an amendment is
made to the new law whereby convictions can
| be obtained against individuals"
The report shows that the carcasses of forty
| dead hogs were found on the west side of the
! Dulany's Valley pike, directly on the bank o.
| Patterson run, half-a-mile from Three Arch
! Bridge which is about the center of Loeb
Raven, one of the leading sources of Balti
! more's water supply. 81 was informed" sale
| Mr.. Hopkins, "that they had died from chol
era, and instead of having them buried they
had been cast on the banks of the stream t.
rot. They had been lying there for severa

only offensive and sitting in the extreme, bu
in my judgment was extremely unhealthy tC
the residenters living on the surrounding
property :yoovorsa two large bos, living near III
| banks of the stream, one about 300 and thu
other about 200 pounds, and the skeletons O
six others were found ON a steep slope nea
the waters edge. These hogs were lying 81
close to the running stream that the diseased
and decayed matter was washed into tn
branch during heavy rains, thereby pollutini
| one of our drinking water tributaries, ant
| only half-a-mile from Loeb Raven"
A pen containing ten pigs was found on thu
edge of small stream, q tributary of tn
Beaver Dam branch of the Gunpowder. Dur
ing heavy rains the filth of the pen is swep
into the stream, says Mr.. Hopkins.
