DRINKING WATER
BEING POLLUTED
Refuse and POiSOnS From
Dye Mills Flows From
Sewers Into Creek

That the drinking water supply of
the city is being contaminated by sew
age from the mills of the Joseph Ban
croft and sons Company and from the
Highlands was evinced to-day at the
meeting Of the Street and Sewer De-
partment, when the Water Department
ana the Joseph Bancroft and Sons
Company presented letters calling the
attention of the board to the condition
of the intercepting sewer from the
Third dam along the Brandywine creek
north To the Kentmere Mills.
IL was pointed out that the sewer is
too small and leaked and overhowed
almost constantly, the overflow going
into the Brandywine. The same sewer
drains Bancroft dye mills and all the
Highlands and as the drainage is Of
the worst kind the health of the city
is dangerously menaced.
The sewer is large enough to carry
off the drainage of the Highlands and
vicinity but with the constantly in
creastng sewage from the Bancroft
mills being dumped into the sewer 1t
cannot carry all off and rs a conse-
quence overfiows. G. Il. B3ssett de-
signed tho present sewer In 1889 and
made allowances for the Increase in
population, and the sewer could carry
off this drainage were it not for the
Bancroft mills. However. as the Ban
crofts paid for the sewer they must
be allowed its use.
Mr. Gray said a new and larger
sewer should be built at once and if
the board did not have the money it
could borrow IT, The matter was a
serious one and the health Of the city
was at stake.
A new sewer would cost at least $780,
900. Engineer Rommell was asked Ia
get to work ON the matter and furnish
tho board with Information regarding
the cost of it at the next meeting
II was suggested that Bancrofts be
allowed the exclusive use of the pres
Ont sewer and to build the new one for
drainage.
Mr.. Gray urged the immediate con-
struction Of the sewer. Mr.. johnson
objected claiming the board had nc
money and they We're not justified n
doing work for which they had n,
money.
Mr.. Lessen. Of the Water Board, sale
II was of vital interest to the city.
Mr. Gray said the overflow from thu
sewer into the drinking water was poi
son and it was "a menace to health. Al
lepidomic may break out at any time.
Mr.. Gray moved that Engineer
lRommel and Leisen be asked 10
statements of facts and figures an
that this statement be laid before Cit
Council with a view of asking for a
Increased appropriation to build tn
sewer. This was adopted and NJ
Leisen win ask the Water Board {

scooped off her loads. 1t was a re-

THE WOMAN WHO SPENDS.
Duties Which She Owes to the Won.
an Who Works.

Duties Which She Owes to the Won.
an Who Works.
Mrs. Frederick Nathan of New York,
a woman of wealth, who works along
philanthropic lines, speaking Of the
duties the woman who spends owes to
the woman who works, says:
The women who spend are in large
measure responsible for much Of the
existing distress and evil surrounding
the women who work. For centuries
women have worked, but not as wage
earners. They used to work in cot
tages, surrounded by plenty Of sun
shine and air. Today, through the in
vention Of cumbersome machinery,
work has been taken out of the home
and put into factories and workshops
Work for women in this new environ
ment has become more monotonous,
and the nervous strain is terrible.
Now, in what way can the women
who spend alleviate the conditions sur
rounding the women who work? There
seems to be little necessity to expound
