PASSAIC SEWAGE SETTLEMENT.


After many years there seems to be
a prospect of settlement of the contro-
versy over disposal Of the sewage Of the
Passaic Valley. Indeed, such settlement
has actually been secured, pending only
a purely formal act by the New Jersey
Legislature, which, it is to be assumed,
will promptly be forthcoming. 1t is not,
we think, an entirely ideal settlement.
but it is probably the best that could
now be attained, and it will doubtless
prove SO far satisfactory as to give the
New Jersey municipalities which are
concerned the relief which they sorely
need, to redeem the lower Passaic River
from a great part of its present pOllu-
tion and to lessen to a perceptible de-
gree the contamination of New York
harbor waters by the flood of filth which
now pours into them from the Passaic.
How great a gain for cleanliness the
present agreement marks may be appre-
ciated by those whose memory goes
back a dozen years. There We're those
then who cOntended that the only practi-
cable plan for disposing of the sewage
of the Passaic Valley was to send it
through Il trunk sewer into New York
Bay, in all its crudeness and without
any attempt at publication That prop
osition was vigorously and persistently
opposed by The Tribune, and our oppo-
sition was incorrectly regarded or rep
resented by some as hostility 30 the vel
fare and the urgent needs of New Jer-
sey, and the idea of purifying sewage
hpfnTa il int Il 10,
condemned as impracticable and fam
tastic. But to-day the State Of New
Jersey accepts and commits itself to the
plan which we then urged at least to
an extent which gives promise of COM
plete fulfilment in the not distant future
The trunk sewer is TO be built. and it
will discharge its contents into New
York Bay, near Robbins Reef. But it's
contents will not be crude sewage. Be-
fore emptying into the bay the sewer
will empty into vast publication plant
on the Newark meadows, precisely as
The Tribune has all along insisted that
it should. In that plant there will be
series of screens of scum boards, of
sedimentation basins and other devices
for removing all solid matter to such
an extent that there will remain no visi-
bic suspended particles, that there will
be produced in the bay no Objectionable
deposits, that there will be no pollution
of the bay perceptible to sight or smell.
and that there will be no injury to fish
life or to human health. nor any public
OF private nuisance In brief. nothing
but a comparatively limpid fluid will ne
poured into New York Bay. and that ut
a depth of forty feet below the surface.
AS federal authorities are to have con-
slant supervision of the work, there is
assurance that these conditions will he
attained and maintained. In that case
the large and growing communities of
the Passaic Valley will have easy dis
posal of their sewage, the Passaic River
will once more be a river and not an
elongated cesspool. and the waters Of
New York Bay will probably be a little
cleaner than they are at the present
time. 1t is a good job all around. and is
worthy of imitation by other communi-
ties including some on the eastern side
of the Hudson River.

penetrating power than any other In
strument in existence.
Mr.. Athens proposition is that when
Mars is next in q favorable situation for
scrutiny Mr.. Lowell invite two or three
other astronomers who have devoted
study to planetary detail to visit Flag
staff and make their own observations.
in the hope that more perfect accord
may be reached regarding some OF the
matters now hi dispute. An opportunity
would thus be afforded for testing the
advantages of the pure atmosphere at
Mr.. Lowells observatory and obtaining
an independent judgment on the genu-
ineness of certain lines about which
there Is yet some doubt. For the task
proposed Mr.. Aitken thinks that Pro-
fessor E. E. Barnard, of the Yerkes OBJ
servatory Professor William III. Pick
ering, of the Harvard staff and NJ. An
toniadi are admirably qualified by ex-
perience.
Many persons besides astronomers will
await with interest Mr.. Lowell's decision
in regard to this project. Apparently 1T
gives him an e1viable chance to secure
the corroboration Of some Of the an
nouncements made at Flagstaff which
have not been generally accepted else
where. Even though from differences in
the temperaments of the experts or
from other causes there should not be
an absolutely unanimous verdict, the
world would undoubtedly profit by their
utterances. 1t is conceded that some of
the markings on Mars are so extremely
indistinct that it has been necessary
greatly to exaggerate their blackness il
drawing them. With the same tele-
scope and under the same atmospheric
conditions, therefore, it would be pos
sible for one astronomer to be more con-
fident than another about what he saw
when their visual powers were strained
to the uttermost Yet would it be ju-
dicious for Mr.. Lowell to neglect the
chance of making converts?
