SAVE OVER
100000 GALLONS

East Orange residents consumed
IS, 900, 600 gallons of water less during
the first five months of this year than
was used during the same time in
1912, Water Engineer Arthur A. Rel
mer told the water commission of
that city last night.
Mr.. Reimer attributes the decrease
to the fact that the people of the city

water since meters were. installed in
their homes. His monthly report
shows that the average amount of
water pumped during May was ST.
2S7, 1900 gallons. the average daily
pumpage 2,S14. 100 and the average
pumpage per capita FOG. The cost
per million gallons of the amount
consumed was s116.9S.
Mr.. Reimer submitted statistics
concerning the maintenance of the
department, which showed the reve-
nue. was s149, 700 and the expense
s125, 125. There is a surplus of s24,-
SIS, most of which will be expended
for improvements.
Having the highest average of the
fourteen candidates who took the
civil service examination for the po-
sition recently. Joseph E. William. of
East Orange, was appointed clerk in
the department at salary of S75 per
month. The commission ratified the
action of the City Council in closing
all city departments at O'Clock in
the afternoon during the summer.

OFFICIALS WOULD
BREAK STATE LAW
BeIIevi|Ie Health Board Virtual
ly Advises Pollution
of River.


While merely indorsing the sani-
tary sewerage system which the
Belleville Town Council has planned,
the Board of Health of that town
last night virtually advised a manu-
featuring concern to violate the State
law prohibiting the pollution of the
Passaic river Moreover, the opinion
was expressed that the State Board
of Health would uphold the Belle.
vile officials.
Commissioner Henry Mason ex-
pressed the opinion that injuncticns
are mere bugaboos intended to
brighten people and should be dis
regarded by Belleville. This remark
was occasioned when Health Inspec-
tor w Brand Smith reported that
under present conditions it was i'm
possible for the Aristo Music Roll
Company, Of Mill street to abate the
insanitary conditions existing at the
plant.
Numerous complaints have been re-
ceived by the board against the con-
ditions existing at the factory. and
after an investigation the company
was granted five days grace in which
to build an overflow cesspool. This
failing to relieve conditions the COM
pany was notified by the board that
they would be granted fifteen days
to put things in shape.
Health Inspector Smith visited the
plant intending to notify them of the
action of the board and found that
the company had no ground on which
to place vault ordered by the board
except above two cesspools. This
was found impracticable. At the sug-
gestion of DIR. Herbert P.fVail presi-
dent of the board, it was decided that
as the company had created the nui-
sance it must abate it within the next
five days or the matter would be re-
ferred to the State Board of Health.
1t was at this point that Mr. Mason
asked if the company could not use
the surface water drain being in
stalled on Mill street by the Town
Council, which empties into the Pas
sale river at this point. On being adj
vised that this might involve the
town in litigation, Mr.. Mason moved
that the Board of Health go on record
as desiring the immediate installation
of the sanitary sewerage system pro-
posed by the Town Council regard
less of whatsoever litigation might
ensue He intimated that the factory
people should use the drain emptying
into the Passaic.
DR.. Vail advised Mr.. Mason that
he did not like the idea of the board
going on record as wishing to break
the law, and said that in his opinion
an injunction restraining Belleville
from polluting the Passaic has been
on the statute books for the last
thirty years.
Mr.. Mason replied the private inter-
ests had been doing the same thing
all along. He said he did not see
why Belleville could not do 1t also.
1t was then he made the remark
quoted above.
His motion was upheld by Jeraldo
Maioran and only one negative vote
was recorded. Commissioner John
Flanagan voted no, and the motion
was carried.

DEATH RATE IN
ORANGE is Low
Report of Health Officer
Shows 563 Persons Died
During Year.

In his final annual report as
health officer of Orange, J. Scott
MaeNutt shows that the death rate
for the year was the lowest on rec
ord with the exception of one year.
The rate was 1896 per 1000 popula-
ton. This was excluding non-resi-
dents, who were brought into the
city sick or injured and died in the
hospitals. In all 500 deaths occurred.
In Orange during the year. There
were thirty-two deaths of Orange
residents last month and seventeen
non-residents died in the hospitals
The lowest death rate occurred in
1909. The death rate for tubercu-
1osis was higher last year than in
1911, but with that exception was
lowest since 1897 Mr. MacNutt
stated that the campaign against
tuberculosis has been continued in
cooperation with the -Tubercu-
losis League of the Oranges.
During the year $40 births oc-
CURED, of which 1863 occurred in the
, hospitals, fifty three being born of
residents and ITO of nonresident
parents.
Especial attention is called to the
measures for the prevention of in
FAINT mortality which have been car
ried out in conjunction with the Com,
mittee for the Prevention of Infant
Mortality, a private organization,
which has supported for the past two
years, trained nurse. The nurse has
been made a special inspector of the
board, and her function consists in
visiting in the home soon after the
birth of a child and giving hygenic
instruction in it's care. 1t has been
proved that so per cent. of the
deaths of infants are caused through
the ignorance of the mother and
family. Four hundred and fifty
babies were visited in 1912. and 15o
are under supervision at all times.
Through the assistance of the State
Board of Health greatly improved
conditions have been obtained on the
dairy farms, the number of diaries
scoring below the standard of sixty
points having decreased during the
year from 16 to 3 per cent. The
markets and food establishments were
reported to be in a generally salts
factory condition.
AS to the water supply conditions,
however, attention was again called
to the conditions as set forth in pre-
ceding reports. These conditions, 1t
is stated should have remedy at
the earliest possible time, but in
order to do this expert attention is
required. Since the present water
shed cannot be adequately protected
without the condemnation or pur-
chase Of a large area of land. it is
suggested that the water therefrorn
be scientifically filtered, or, if this
Is not advisable, that some other and
purer source, such as the ground
water, obtained at Campbelrs Pond,
be substituted.
