DOCTORS MAKE PROTEST.
Mr.. Editor. Sir

Mr.. Editor. Sir
AS servants of the public, in the line o
our professional duty, we feel it incum
bent upon us to point to a very real danger
to the public health which menaces the
town of Milford at the present time.
The town derives its water supply from
deep driven wells, which furnish drink.
ing water of an exceptionally pure char
acter, as has been proved by many anal
ysis; but it is rather a hard washing
water due to the amount of magnesia in
it, and not lime as is generally supposed.
The custom has been in case of an emer-
gency, as in fire, to pump water direct
from the creek into the water mains,
from which all our water for household
supply is obtained.
Conditions have vastly changed since
the Inauguration and establishment Of
the water plant, as regards the use of
creek water for emergency purposes.
To day the creek water is polluted, from
the refuse of factories and parts of the
town system of sewers, emptying under
the Walnut Street Bridge, distance of
possibly three hundred yards, above the
emergency intake pipe Of the water plant
Surely no one would think or wish to use
such a supply of drinking water, andy
that is just what is being done by pump
ing water from the creek into the town
water mains.
The water Is unquestionably polluted |
and poisoned, and the further custom Of
flushing the dead ends after each FIRE
does not remedy the evil, as there are
left bacteria within the mains that in
crease and multiply at surprising rate.
The town is liable to some kind of an
epidemic disease of a lymotic character
that may break out at any time, such as
Uphold fever diphtheria, dysentery and
,ther intestinal diseases. As medical
nen, it is our duty to call attention to
his matter which can be prevented, and
he danger from an epidemic should be
voided at once.
The amount that it will cost should not
% considered, when the lives of our peo-
lie are in jeopardy.
The remedy may be such, as can he
pplied to fully meet the case. as our
eighboring town of Dover did, when
ley we're visited with an epidemic of
'Phoid fever, by the digging of twenty
We feet well, and they stopped pumping
ater direct from the St. Jones River.
The authorities of Milford should act
romptly at this threatened menance.
hey would have no one to blame but
for any epidemic that may
sit us, and falling to act, the courts
ay be appealed to.

THE people of Milford are facing
a very serious problem in a water
supply, and between the growing
demand for the city water, and the
extraordinary occasions when large
hres make it an impossibility to
Sight successfully the flames with
the present supply from the artesian
wells, that action should be taken at
once to get an adequate supply.
The meeting last Wednesday even

from this something will have to
come. The cost may reach twenty
thousand dollars, but it will have
