IN EQUITABLE
Directors Adopt Resolutions
Affecting All Of the High
Officials

New York, June S.-Resolutions sug-
gestlng radical reforms in the manage
ment of the Equitable Life Assurance

many respects the most eligible and
satisfactory to all interests.

said with regard to the manner in
which Vice President Hyde is TO "di-

septic TANK
Robin Believes This Only
Satisfactory Method OF Dis
posing Of Sewerage
8RANlYNINE INSPECTION REPORT

Bactefiologist A. Robin Of the Water
Department and Mr.. Fuller of Boston,
who recently made an examination Of the
conditions along tho Brandywine to learn
the source OF the pollution Of shat stream
liye reached conclusions. The former
presented report OF their investigation
oefore the Poard Of Health yesterday at
ternoon.
DR. Robin acted for the city in making
the exemh.aGon and Mr.. FULLER looked
after the puPonts interests The latter
agreed that the conditions found were
such ms TO require immediate and satis-
factory repiedy
DR. Robin In his report states that an
extension Of the city sewer to tho upper
FraudyNino aud the connecriDl os tie
properties I'M that section herewith. wocld
form the IDEAL method ana one which
alone could Insure permanent success
However. TIC city has no right TO extend
The sewer beyond the city line AMI the
owners refuse TO undertake. the project
It their own expense. with the propo-
st.on of a sewer eliminated there re-
main only two other methods OF dispos-
al namey the so-called irrigation or
)tam disposal and the septic tank meth
ca Of pl-tcation.
RECOMMENDS SEPTIC TAS'-.
DR. Robin submits that by the former
method the sewage is disposed OF on
farm land which is adequately under
drained, while by the septic tank method
the sewage is subjected to series Of
changes resulting IN it's complete purih-
cation. He says, however that farm dis
posal OF sewage in the present instance
is impractical and recommended the adop-
ton Of the septic tank.
A letter was received by the board from
r. c. DUPONT. He stated that the two
experts had agreed that the following
would be fair and equitable to all parties
concerned.
First, That the owner or owners agree
to install and maintain a sewage dis
posal plant the efhuent from which does
not contribute to the city water sup
ply; the said efhuent 10 be stable, clear,
transparent and odorless
Second, A contract 10 be entered into
by and between the Board OF Health Of
this city requiring that the owners shall
not only install but maintain the above
conditions and on behalf OF the city if
the owners do install and maintain the
above conditions they will not be required
TO do more.
The term OF years for this contract TO
be decided dpon.
Mr. Dupont suggested that the agree
ment be prepared in legal form by the
city solicitor and the attorney for the
company. The members of the board
however. were not clear on the subject
and the matter viii again be taken NJ

BISHOP COLEMAN s
ANNUAL ADDRESS
continued from First Pase3

Bishop Coleman said the proceedings
Of this convention were full Of Importance
and not without some very desirable leg
islation.
I'm a further reference to the proceed
ings Bishop Coleman referred TO the di.
vorco question and said:
For one 1 much regret that the action
Of the very decided majority Of the House
of Bishops whereby II would be unoanoni-
cal for any divorced persons, whether
called the innocent party or not, TO be mar
ried again, was not formally ratified by
the House Of Clerical nd Lay Deputies
although really obtaining the assent Of a
majority of its members when voting sep.
arately and individually 1 am still per
suaded that this act OF total prohibition
Is the only one by which the Church can
discharge her entire duty I'm this most
grave and essential matter, and that II
viii be the most efficient means Of dimln-
ishing the many terrible evils now ac-
companyng the laxer notions upon the
subject which so widely prevail.
In the meantime it is a comfort to
realize that no clergyman is compelled
D
marriage OF any divorced person, and
that public opinion Is becoming more and
more pronounced against such solemniza-
ton. As some OF you may remember, a
meeting was held last summer at Bishop
stead of ministers of various religious
bodies in Wilmington, at which resolu-
tions upon the subject were unanimously
adopted that showed a distinct advance
In the right direction.
1T is a great satisfaction TO know of
the growing appreciation in other rellg-
ious organizations OF the gravity Of this
subject and Of a purpose to unite o.
gether IN a common endeavor to check.
and, II possible, wholly to eliminate the
gigantic and forhodlng evils involved.
We shall / am persuaded. only have 10
wait a short time for such legislation, al
least On our own part as will hc more in
accord with what / believe to be the
teaonng of the Holy Scriptures and the
prayer book"
improvements to the different churches
Of the diocese were spoken of by the
bishop. Among these churches are Trin-
ity 81. Johns, ST. Michaoi's and I'M

christiana hundred, the church and rec
tory at Clayton, st. Marys Of Bridge
vile, st. Thomas of Newark. The parish
of Mlddlctown is bout TO celebrate its
bi-centennial and in anticipation OF this
event the building has been repainted.
Attention was also called by the bishop
