THE LAW as TO SEWAGE.

A suit which has just been instituted by the
Attorney General Of New Jersey in the Court OF
Ch3ncery of that state will arouse great inter
est in nearly every city and large town in New
Jersey and deserves to be carefully observed
elsewhere. The suit is brought by the State
Board of Health against the city Of Phlllipsburg
under the provisions of a law enacted several
years ago giving the State Sewerage Commits
sion power TO restrain municipalities from pol
uting the streams of the state with sewage.
Some time ago that commission investigated the
sewerage system of PhilIipsburg and discovered
that it was grossly polluting the water Of the
Delaware River. Il stream from which various
other communities take their supply of potable
water An order was issued to Phillipsburg to
abate the nuisance before October / OF last
year. That order was disregarded by the Phil
lipsburg authorities on the ground that the law
under which it was issued was unconstitutional.
The present suit will test that contention.
The result of decision confirming the valid
ity of the law would be wide reaching and of
great Importance. 1t would be to prevent all
cities and towns from pouring crude sewage
into running streams. There arc many such
communities in New Jersey. as in other states.
From time immemoral brooks and rivers have
been regarded as natural drains into which i'll
dfvduals and communities should be free TO
pour all sewage of whatever description, de-
spite the fact that they were also regarded and
used as the natural sources Of supply Of drink
ing wafer. incidentally, it may be recalled, iii
those days typhoid fever was regarded as a
mysterious visitation Of inscrutable provi-
dence. People are learning better now. They
have learned that typhoid usually proceeds from
the usesOf water from sewage-polluted stream.
They have also learned how to dispose OF sew
age without pouring it into streams, and they
have widely come to the conclusion that it is
better policy 10 use streams sources of water
supply than as open drains
The present suit is the first one to be brought
under the new law of New Jersey If 1t is sue
cessful and the law is upheld, doubtless further
suits will be brought against ali other offend
ing municipalities, and there will he rush to
install up-tO-date sewage disposal plants. IF it
is not successful and the law is declared invalid,
there will be an effort st Trenton next winter
to frame and enact a law which will he c0nsti-
tutional and which Will be upheld by the courts
New Jersey is earnestly resolved to get rid Of
the deadly nuisance of sewage in brooks and
rivers and the example which she is setting
may well he studied and emulated by other
states which suffer from the same evil

EXPENSES AND EFFICIENCY.

Increases il the cost OF operating the various
Seaa rInents Of the municipal government, as
also Of the state and national governments, are
10 be expected. From q thoughtful and well
Informed point Of view they are TO a certain
extent TO be welcomed with qualification. That
IS because they are or should be a guarantee
that the administration is progressive and is
increasing its exertions IN behalf of the public
commensurately with the increase Of the public
needs through growth of population and ele-
walton of the standard Of life. But it is only
when such is their assured indication that they
are 10 be regarded with complacence or even
with tolerance
The expenses of this city since the consOli-
dation of the five boroughs into the greater
New York have steadily and rapidly increased.
So of course. has the population; and it could
not he reasonably required that the government
should be administered now at no greater cost
than when the city was much smaller The
point is. however. that expenses have increased
far more rapidly than population. If we com
pare the years 1898 and 1908 we find that the
total population of the five boroughs has in
creased about - per cent. At the same time
the total Of budget appropriations has increased
about "A per cent or not far from three times
as much.
Obviously, the increase in expenditures can
not save ia comparatively small part, be
charged against increase of population. 1t
must be justified if al all, other grounds. 1t
must be shown that there has been great ad
vance in efficiency Of administration. that the
streets are better paved, cleaned and lighted,
that the police are more efficient in the safe
guarding Of property and life and the main
ienance OF order, that school accommodations
are mere ample and instruction is more able,
that more perfect protection against fire is
afforded. that the public health IS more securely
safeguaraed and that in general the public
work is better IN quality as we'll as greater
ia quantity: or else il must be shown that the
s.g has undertaken new forms of public work.

GETTING MORE WORK FROM TURBINES

Though the steam turbine has merits which
will always commend it TO favor, there is a
growing conviction among experts that its
highest possibilities have not yet been realized
In marine service. Before any attempt was
made to use it for the propulsion of ships it
was employed to run dynamos. For that class
of work it was admirably suited, because, as
originally designed, it developed eXtraOrdi-
nary rotary speeds-a quality strongly COM
mending it for the driving of electric gen
orators. Very much lower speeds are necessary
with propeller shafts, and for several years the
outcome of Mr.. ParsOns's efforts TO adapt his
invention to this new duty WAS in doubt He
succeeded after fashion. and by degrees has
improved on his earlier methods. Nevertheless,
it is admitted that further advances are de-
sirable The turbine is fairly economical at
some speeds, but wasteful at Others. 1t is as
serted, for instance that the Lustania re
quires about SO per cent more steam TO the
| horsepower when she is running at the rate
Of only Is knots than when running at -
| knots. One proposition which has been sug-
| gested by this fault is to divide the work of
driving big steamship in such a manner that
reciprocating engines will operate some of the
screws and turbines will operate the others
The plan is TO have a trial on a steamship
built for the Canadian service Of the White
Star company. Another proposition was re-
Gently outlined by William 2. Durtnall, before
the British Institute of Marine Engineers.
whose paper is summarized in The Engineer
ing Magazine" for October.
Mr.. Durtnall would employ turbines exclu-
sivey but would not connect them directly
with the propeller shafts. He would thus
provide for running the engines at high
speed-say 800 revolutions a minute-and Coz.
keeping the speed Of the screws within rea-
sonable limits, probably not more than 200 or
80 revolutions. He would interpOse between
the engines and the screws electrical devices.
dynamos and motors The dynamos would run
al one speed and the motors at another. 10 II
lustrate the advantages Of his system Mr..
Durtnall compares the requirements for de,

II will be observed that the calculations here
given relate only to a small steamer, put IL
they are substantially correct as far as uIeS
go the system might be applied TO larger YES
sells The vital question, therefore, IS Whethef
tie economy which is claimed for 1t would De
rea liZed. No reference is made 10 any III
crease in the first cost Of the machinery. Per
haps this might offset any possible reducuoh
in operating expenses 1t is in order to In
uure too whether or not there would De an
additional demand for space in a steamship
if the power should be transmitted 20 the
screws by electric mechanism rather than by
2 direct connection between engines and pro-
peller shafts Perhaps some progressive ship
builder will see merit enough In the plan to
try it on a modest scale. Such an experiment
would have at the outset several things in its
favor A steam turbine is q very much sim
pier piece of mechanism than the reciprocatinS
engine Besides, those parts which need IN
spection and repair are more accessible IN the
former than in the latter. 1t would be a great
advantage 10 rely on turbines alone if only
little greater uniformity in efficiency were at
tainabe at all speeds Finally, as an electric
motor can easily be reversed, the plan advo
Gated by Mr.. DurtnaT would make it possible
to dispense with the extra turbines now needed
to back ship.

Senatorship from Somerset County Mr. Fre-

The British governments decision to provide
work for the unemployed by building moro new
warships Will put some Of the social economists
OF the United Kingdom into a quandary They
must approve the setting of the men to work,
since they have been clamoring that it is the
duty of the government to provide work for all
men, Yet they must condemn the sort of work
at which they are set, since they are opposed to
the construction of fighting ships of any kind.
Egg dancing is nothing compared with the task
of approving and condemning the policy at
the time.
