OHIO RIVER Is
DESIGNATED AS
AN OPEN SEWER

WASHINGTON. Nov. S.-The ge-
illogical survey announces that the
water OF the Upper river basin is
contaminated and wholly UNIT for
drinking purposes.
This is the result OF an investiga-
ton made by Samuel ]. Lewis. He
has made an exhaustive report on the
subject. The area treated in the re-
port has been divided into the Allie
gheny river. the Monongaheia river
basin and the Ohio river basin be-
tween Pfttsburs and the Big Sandy
river.
1t Is declared that the Ohio river
below Pittsburg is to all intents and
purposes an open sewer.
THE population OF Pittsburg be-
Ing at least 500. ooo." the report
says. "it may safely be said that the
Ohio river below Pittsburg is con-
taminated by the sewage OF at least
100000 people. which enters the
stream untreated. carrying contain
nation from thousands OF typhoid
fever cases. The only way to obtain
pure water from the Ohio river is
to resort to Filtration"
Upon the general subject OF the
river contamination, the report says
"The water supplies and sewerage
of large town high up toward the
head OF n large drainage system do
not in many cases receive the atten-
ton they should. Epidemics of wa
ter-born disease which affect large
municipalities must necessarily have
their origin in the pollution of the
wataer shed above.
ut is evident, therefore. that adj
equate sanitation OF the small towns
and water supply as carefully
guarded as that OF large city would
prevent disease at It's very source
and be far less expensive than the
costly battles which are waged on
epidemics in huge centers of popula-
t'on after disease has broken out"
