WASHINGTON, Dec. 13:--The
proposed expenditure of s165,000 for
big powder plant near Dover sug-
gests the possibility that the water
supply of some of the larger cities hi
New Jersey may be polluted to some
extent when this powder plant shall
have been built. 1t will be along the
Rockaway river, and the watershed
of that stream is drained by a big
reservoir of the Jersey City Water
Supply Company. The water for Jer~
sey City is obtained at this reservoir.
The Rockaway river empties into the
Passaic, and 1t is from this stream
that the supply for Passaic, Paterson.
Rutherford and other towns is taken.
The station of the East Jersey Water
Company is at Little Falls. 1t Is Il
matter that later on may demand the
attention of the health authorities. as
1t Is believed the water will be more
or less affected by the powder plant.
