POLLUTED RIVER
RUNNING HOUSES
ALONG ITS BANKS

Newly painted houses along the Pas
sale River, in this city and Belleville,
are assuming a dirty. muddy color
owing to the pollution Of the stream.
This condition was most notable in the
recent dry spell, and is due to the
action of the foreign matter and chem
icals in the water. Factories around
Paterson, in discharging their waste
into the river, take no precaution in
keeping the detrimental substances out
of the water.
An EVENING STAR reporter, in vis-
iting the locality. found that not only
were the houses near the water front
affected, but that the homes for two
and three blocks east and west of the
river also were.
Housewives complain that silver
ware Is also turned black, and that
even brass hinges and furnishings are
covered with sediment that is very
difficult to remove.
Washing the black sediment has been
tried, but this. in a majority of cases,
is impossible.

the flames with his coat, but all her
clothes were burned off before the fire
could be put out

could be secured in time TO be of any
service. DR. Grosznann. principal of
the school, came as quickly as he could
