for some time and has finally reached
a very low level.
In the higher sections of Orange there
are days when water is none too plenti-
full. A resident of Ridge street told a
water at extremely low pressure, and
that 1t was sometimes discolored, as
mud was being pumped.
ION a recent morning" he went on,
IT turned on the water to take a bath
and after a weak little stream had
flowed into the tub for the space of a
few seconds the supply entirely
stopped, and for fifteen minutes my
faucets were dry"
At the, int0ke yesterday. the engines
were pumping at a pressure of ninety
pounds to the quare inch and nftlng
water well. A view of the banks Of the
pond showed plainly the ridges indl-
eating the drop of the water, and 1t
was being lowered still further.
Seven years ago Orange began to use
water from Campbells Pond. Prior 10
that time, for a space of several years,
the old Cherry lane reservoir had supplied
the city. The water from the latter place
was unpalatable and murky, and was
finally condemned. 1t Is fed by the west
branch of the Railway River, along the
banks Of which are scores OF sources OF
pollution. outhouses, barns, stables, pas
ture land and residences.
1t is understood that the water from
the old reservoir Is used when occasion
seems to demand 1t even today, although
1t has been stated that such is not the
case. A four-inch pipe from the bottom
of the old reservoir leads out into a ditch
and can be opened SO that the flow OF the
stream leading into CampbelPs POND can
be greatly increased.
When the old reservoir is as near full as
at present, it is possible to draw on its
waters by simply opening a gate inside the
Campbell Pond g~atehouse. That gate lets
in a flow through a pipe that leads from
the old pond TO the new. When the water
is low in Cherry ane reservoir, 1t is neces-
sary to open the four-inch pipe In the
dirty bottom to get water into Campbelfs
Pond from there.
While there Is 10 doubt danger IN the
low pressure that Is said to prevail ire
in Orange, 1t is a matter OF but q
few minutes, it Is said, to open the gates
that will send a full supply from East
Orange into Oranges mains.
The engineer at the intake gate mouse
said yesterday that he was using Camp
bells Pond water at the time without
drawing on the old reservoir, but that he
could draw on the old pond without leay-
ing the engine room.

CAR HITS A POLE
TROLLEY FILLED WITH S. S.
PEOPLE.
Derailed at Railroad Crossing When
Motorman Didn't Stop and
Occupants Frightened.

It required two special cars to convey the
members OF Grace NJ. E. Church Sunday
School. Kearny, last night on their trolley
ride to Coyettesville. via Jersey City, and a
good time was reported.
The only incident to mar the occasion
was the narrow escape OF a serious acci-
dent. The motorman of one OF the cars
lost control of the brake when nearing the
derailing switch at the foot OF the hill near
the New York and Susquehanna Railroad
crossing in Jersey City and was not able
to get the car under control sufficiently to
prevent it from passing over the switch
and hitting a telephone pole with such
force as to smash the fender and throw the
occupants from their seats. The side rails
prevented the children from being thrown
to the ground. No one was injured.
Assistance came from the Harrison car
barns and after nearly two hours delay
the party was able to resume its journey
home.
