sLuxuRlANr WATER cREss.
Proves Clue to Possible Pollution
OF a Brook,

When Inspector John j. Belbey,
'of the. local health board, and State
Inspector Fred B. Warmer visited
Madison avenue recently to serve a
notice on party living in that
neighborhood they took short cut
across the fields to South street. On
the way they found that for a GER
tain space the brook running through
the property back of Madison avenue
was covered with a growth of water
cress growing from two to three feet
high. This excited the curiosity of
the inspectors and they made an in
vestigation, revealing that cesspool
overflow pipes from a place on Madi-
son avenue and place on South
street ran into the brook at the
place the cress was so luxuriant.
Samples of the water have been
taken and forwarded to Trenton and
if pollution is found the health board
will move in the matter 1t was re-
ported that a merchant from Newark
comes up once a week and harvests
the cress crop, selling it to dealers
in that city.

REED WOULD LABEL
ALL FIRE MIGRANTS
Alderman Has Scheme TO In
crease Firemen's Efficiency.

Dr. R. Ralston Reed, at the meet
ing of the board of aldermen Friday
evening put forward the suggestion
OF marking each fire hydrant with it's
water pressure. The same men do
not always man the machines. Alder
man Reed said, and in consequence
the most efficient hydrants are not
always selected for use at fires. A
Test will be made of the hvdrants
and report made to thealdermen.
Or. Reed scored the Washington
company for permitting its steamers
flues to become SO clogged the en-
gine would not steam and also crit
lcised the Humanes because the fire
under the boiler was not pulled un-
I'll after the machine had neared the
Lynch house at the recent blaze
there. But this was partially excus-
able, explained the aldermen. as a
policeman had told the crew on the
steamer that the fire was a small
one and could be handled by chem
icals.
Dr. Reed in addressing the alder
men regarding the Lynch fire spoke
of the efficient work of the Boy
Scouts in guarding yaluables and said
he hoped the board of fire wardens
would profit by the Scouts example.
1t was emphatically denied by the
alderman that the aqueduct Officials
turned on any more pressure after
the fire started, as had been re-
ported, saying that the pressure re-
manned the same all through the
fire and no gates nor valves were
manipulated.
Chief Day reported to the aldermen
that the flues of Washington engine
had been neglected and consequently
mad become stopped up. After the
Lynch fire the engine had been
cleaned and tested and found to
work perfectly.
The board Of engineers reported
five general alarms and ten still
alarms of fire during the month Of
July. A hydrant was ordered installed
on Mills street in Cutler park.
The bond issue of $4,000 was on
motion of Dr. Reed ordered made
The bonds are for $500 each at five
per cent. and are payable on or before
