Drainage,

A lamentable and tremendous
amount of needless suffering, sickness,
expense and death annually result
from the wanton pollution of the
streams of Pennsylvania among those
individuals dependent upon these
sources of supply for drinking water.
Hundreds of communities hang in the
balance and at any time may have an
epidemic of typhoid fever stalking
through their midst and decimating
their numbers. Hundreds of the young
and best lives of the commonwealth
are annually sacrificed to the unsani-
tary customs of sewage disposal. Pol
son material of human origin from
public and private institutions, sewers
and privies are emptied into streams
at points but short distances above wa
ter works inoakes, and in few hours
thereafter are delivered through the
water pipes of public systems to many
innocent and unsuspecting individuals,
who rest secure in the belief that the
public authorities, having in charge
the furnishing of drinking water, and
who are responsible for the purity Of
the water thus supplied, are faithfully
performing their obligations.
Public and private corporations,
however, even when earnestly inclined,
are often limited in their powers to
prevent sewage contamination of the
sources of water supply.
