WATERSHED POPULATION.

DIR. Lederle reafiirms the point which
The Tribune made concerning the pro-
posed tuberculosis hospital on the shore
of Croton Lake. The objection is not
to the hospital per sc, but to any need
less and artificial increase Of popula-
ton in the Croton watershed. 1t is
true, as Mr. Folk said the other day,
that a tuberculosis sanatorium is pro-
lection rather than a menace to com
munity. Consumptives kept in a well
conducted hospital are far less danger
Gus TO others than those who are scat
tered about the community in their own
homes. In that respect the opponents
of the proposed hospital site agree with
its advocates.
The real point Is, however, that any
avoidable increase Of population in a
region from which water is drawn for
drinking purposes is undesirable. 1t
would doubtless be possible TO permit 4
dense population all through the Gro
ton region and yet keep the water free
from contamination. But the difficulty
would be great, and there would always
be a certain risk Of the development Of
some flaw in the system, which would
permit pollution. 1t seems TO us to be
the part of wisdom to avoid that diff
Guilty and that danger by encouraging
sparsity rather than density Of pOpula-
tion In such regions. 1t is true that a
large part Of Westchester County is in
Guided within the limits Of the CrotOn
drainage area. But it would surely be
possible to find outside Of those bounds
suitable sites for all populous public
institutions. At any rate, sites could
be found which would be remote from
the actual reservoirs.
