Filtration of Water supply.

From the Scientific American.
Sudden and extremely heavy rains of a
few weeks ago, coming after a period of
rather long drought brought down INTO the
storage basin of the CrotOn watershed d
large amount of decayIng vegetation and
various forms Of organic debris, which had
lain comparatively undisturbea during the
summer and autumn months. AS seen III
New York, the result was such a turbid
and malodorous condition of the wafer that
not even the most earnest assurances on the
part of the officials that there were no
typhoid or other isease-prCducing germs
In the water could render it palatable. The
pubic may be al times Understandable but
ii can scarcely be called 50 when 1t asks
that pure water shall LOOK pure, and thai
its qualities shall be something more than
negative. InaSmuch as the grand jury has
taken in hand the question Of a better wafer
supply for Greater New York, the present
outcry comes at an opp 1rtune time.
Obviously the remedy is the provision of
a first-class filtration plant, and the success
which has attended filtration. notably in the
lay, though 1t might amount to several
million dollars. would be money we'll spent
The report of the Merchants Association
Commission for the enlargement OF New
York's water supply contemplates the cree
ton Of vast siltratiol pant in the hills
above Poughkeeps.e, through which every
gallon of alter that comes to the city would
pass. The construction of filtration plant
in connection with he C:Oton watershed
would not be money thrown away, as Fro
vision might be made to incorporate it as a
part of the larger scheme whenever the lat
ter shall be carried through.

sumner.
The primary object of filtration is Of
course to render the water supply whole

typhoid and kindred diseases. Washington
will expect that it's large filtration expendi-

to the eye and the taste but more especially

1t Is fortunate that The District has begun

Filtration SYAfelnA.

The hearing to be held III New York to-
morrow by the Senate committee on the
District Of Columbia to investigate systems
Of water filtration is of the greatest iirpcr-
lance to the people of this city. Men dis
tinguished as experts on this subject will
appear to give their !iews on the relative
merits Of what are known as the slow sand
and the mechanical systems Ct filtration,
each of which has many earnest advocates.
The problem Of the successful filtration of
Potomac water Is one that requires careful
consideration. Advocates OF the slow sand
system claim that 1t alone will successfully
remove disease germs from the water to
any considerable extent. Advocates of the
mechanical system claim that In times Of
great turbidity of the wafer Of the Poto-
mac their plan alone can be depended upon
to produce crystalline fluid: and in aidi
tion to that they present data IN support Of
their claim that this system is effective In
removing disease germs, more effective even
than the sand filter when the water il very
muddy. The Medical Society of the Dis
trict Of Columbia, the committee on pubic
health Of the Board of Trade and the health
officer of the District have oeen urgent In
their advocacy II the slow san1 metflul ts

II is to be regretted that the House COM
mittee rivers and harbors in the appro-
priation bill for public works which they
have lust completed did not see their way
clear to include an appropria ton for the
reclamation of the Anacostia flats. The
claim can not be made that they were
ohivious to the subject. 1t was right un-
der their noses. literally. On any warm
day with the wind in the southeast and the
windows of the Capitol open. the proximity
of the rivers and harbors committee room
To the Anacostia flats would be noticeable
official cognizance has been taken of the
case also. The committee had before it an
elaborate report of the engineer branch of
the War Department upon the necessity for
retaining this malarial waste which is
menance to the hea. tn of several large gov
eminent institutions and of the entire east
ern section of the city and the thriving sub
urbSgrowing up beyond the Eastern Branch.
Delegations of citizens from time to time
have called attention to the project in per-
sonal interviews with members of the COM
mittee and the Board of Trade and ctl-
zens associations have recommended action.
Fortunately it is not too late. An amend
ment IN the House proposed by Mr. Burton
should be adopted, as many members are
familiar with the subject If not this. the
Senate should certainly add to the bill an
appropriation to carry out the project of
the army engineers in the interest of the
sanitary welfare of the capital.
The economy excuse will not cover this
case. Each year adds to the magnitude of
the work to be done. The river is steadily
adding to the accretions of malaria be- airing
mud on the flats and filling the channels.
Delay means investing in future expendi
lures, at exorbtant rate of increase.
Action now is in the interest of real
economy. A million dollars appropriated t
this season and made Immediately available
