FITNESS OF SUPPLY 0f WATER
Decision Rests With City Health Officer Says State Chemist Nevlands Regulations Regarding the Clean- ing of Trading Cove Brook Watershed Should be Stringent Would Not Want tolA Advise Use Without Purifying.

The board of water commissioners held & meeting on Wednesday after noon, at which time there was a dis cussion in regard to the purified tion of the water at Trading Cove brook, the board having several propositions in regard to filters before them. All are expensive, however, and involve as great an outlay as if a filtration plant was to become 8 permanent inn provement. An emergency plant for temporary use is not known to those engaged in the business of filter plants. No action in regard to puriication was taken. but it is expected that some decision will be made shortly so that the pumping station can be put into use before long.
 State chsmist's Opinion.
 The following letter received by Su- perintendent Corkery from MT. New lands of Middletown, state chemist at the laboratory of the state board of health, was read and discussed:
 Middletown. Conn, Feb. B, 1911 Mir. J. J. Corkery, Supt. Water Dept,
 Norwich, Conn.,:
 Dear MT, Corkery: Please pardon my delay in replying to your tele- phone communication of last week. have found it impossible to write you until now
 You have asked me whether it would be possible to clean up the sources of contamination on the drain age area of Trading Cove brook and so protect the supply as to make it safe for drinking purposes. In reply I would say that it might be possible. but I believe it would not only be a costly method for the city to adopt, but would take some time to complete the changes satisfactorily 1t would be necessary to buy up the mill owned by MT. Leffingwell and remove all buildings located close to the shores of the stream. It would be necessary to stop everyone from fertilizing the soil close to the shores of the stream, especially with human wastes as was done at the Ward place and at the C. l.. Palmer place. The Massachusetts and New York state boards of health prohibit the locating of any cesspool, privy, stable, pigsty, henhouse, barn yard. hitching or standing place for horses, cattle or other animals, or the discharge of sink drainage or house slops within 50 feet of any reservoir, stream, ditch or water course used for drinking purposes, and none of the above is-allowed to be located within 250 feet of such waters unless water tight receptacieS are constructed so that no portion of the animal or hu- man wastes can escape or be washed into the reservoir stream, ditch, etc. In other words, no buildings of the classes mentioned shall be located within 50 feet of the highwater mark of any stream or ditch emptying into reservoir used. for drinking purposes, under any conditions, and buildings To- cated between 50 and 250 feet from such waters must have watertight re- ceptacles for the wastes. /
 These regulations refer to streams flowing into reservoirs. When a, stream is to be used directly for drinking pur- poses without the benefit of sedimen-

The board of relief has now been in session for . period of two weeks. during which time they have received petitions from TOT citizens. askinx to have reductions in the value placed on their property by the assessors for purpose of taxation. This Is larger number than was increased by the board of assessors this year.
 The number. however, is not as large by one-thfrd as that in the past two or three years when the number of applicants for relief has reached to 300 and 400. The board is making a list of the petitioners and win make an investigation of their statements and decide what will be done. Some taxpayers come to the board and want tnel list reduced to a figure lower than they put it in for Themselves. This is because of the low figure at which neighbors place their property n the list at, and the inequality leaves an opening for an appeal for relief The board will receive ap- peals until the 21st, after which they Will be busy Investigating and getting out their results.

i tation in reservoir, especially small stream like Trading Cove brook the regulations should be at least as strin- gent As the Connecticut state board u1ations of this sort the decision as to the fitness of the supply would rest with your city health officer.
 My opinion in the matter is that with a small stream of this sort every precaution should be taken to avoid contamination. Where the drainage area of such a stream is inhabited this is difficult, excepting by purificatiOn of the water. Trading Cove brook might be used for several years with conditions on the drainage area just as they are at present without produce ing a typhoid epidemic in the city. because 1t is necessary for someone on the drainage area to get typhoid fever and contaminate the water be- fore 1t can oe transmitted to the peo- pie in Norwich. It would be fool hardy, however, to advise taking such a risk and it would simply lessen the risk to some extent to move the build- ings back according to the above reg ulations. A reservoir of say a month s capacity or larger acts just as q filter in that 1t eliminates to q very great extent chance contamination. by the action of sedimentation and other pu- rffying influences. By cleaning Sp the drainage area according to the above mentioned regulations 1t might be possible to use the water without producing a typhoid epidemic but would not care to take the responsi- bility of advising you to do so.
 The supply can be made satIsfac tory by putting in large reservoir, filtration, or hypochlorite treatment, or a combination of the last two. You stated that the people objected to the use of chemicals. I can only say that hypochlorite treatment is now in use at Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio; Poughkeepsie, N. Y: Harrisburg, Pa. Montreal and Toronto, Canada: Mill waukee Wis; Minneapolis. Minn.; Nashville Tenn: Omaha, Neb.; New port, R. T., and numerous other places and the results have been entirely sat isfactory in every case so far as have been able to learn. Some of these places are treating 50 to 60 million gallons of water per day.
 Trusting this will give you the in formation you desire. am,
 Very truly yours.
