voir on a slant tending towards the in
take. The proper inference IS that the
currents of water largely tend towards

the reservoir would act more as dead
end.
We are of the opinion. fully held out
by conditions stated and seen BY US. that
the river as it enters the reservoir is
contaminated. The extent and risk to-
Jersey City incurred by same can be de-
termined only after the careful eKamina-
tions of an expert chemist and bacter-
iologist. 1t is far from likely that one
or several cases of typhoid fever or other
enteric conditions existing in the upper
part of the watershed could sendanger
the citizens OF Jersey City, nevertheless,
we feel with the present attitude of the
inhabitants OF that region aud the vffi-
cials there in control, that, If a consider
able epidemic should occur in these nom
frS r;tarv towns the effect
might be felt in our city.
