PROMISE TO STOP
WATER POLLUTION

Aside from the city taking up the
matter of the pollution of the Brandy
wine creek by the paper manufacturing
concerns along that stream, there are
two private concerns with mills on the
creek that are suffering from the con-
taminatiOn of the stream.
The firms that are suffering as a
result of the red dyes in the water are
the Joseph Bancroft and Sons Com
pany ana the mills of the Jessup and
Moore Company. Both these concerns
own water rights in the Brandywine
and the firms responsible for the poll
luton of stream are making them
selves liable to heavy damages be-
cause of damage done 10 products Of
these firms.
Representatives of the Bancroft Com
pany have been in conference with Off
cials of the G. S. Garrett and Sons
Company at Buck Run. This is the
mill alleged TO be mostly responsible
for the pollution as they make colored
paper, use aniline dyes and allow the
refuse TO flow in the creek.
The Garrett people admitted they
were using the dye and that they al
lowed it to flow into the creek. The ser
iousness Of this practice was pointed
out to them and they promised to have
the trouble stopped.
The Bancroft Company has notified
/ the Water Commissioners of the re-
suit of this conference.
