Now Keep the Water Clean!

The abandonment OF the Jerome Park filtration
scheme Is probably TO be commended. II relieves
the city Of prospective expenditure Of S9OOO.OJ0
which is cause for qualification seeing how many
other things needed. But il also imposes upon
the city the responsibility Of keeping the water
clean that it will not need fltering which is TO he
assumed with thOughtfuness and fulfilled with
vigilance and energy.
II is probably true that CrOton water is
pure and clean enough To be used without fltra
ton II is certainly true that to keep it so will
require constant and rigorous safeguarding of the
and sources of supply II will not do to let
towns or even individual houses discharge their
sewage into the reservoirs The prudence Of let
ting the reservoirs he used for boating and fishing
and their shores for camping, may well be called
into question Certainly there would be not
unreasonable cutlery against admitting boat clubs
to the big reservoir in Central Park. As for the
establishment OF huge hospitals and asyums
the shores of the lakes it would be criminal folly
to permit il.
Our water supply is now reasonably clean and
wholesome Let 1t be kept And fraction OF
the nine millions saved by abandoning the filter
would go long way toward attaining that end.

THE UNREASONABLE OPEN CAR
A Drenched Reader Complains of It's
Use in Wild Weather.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. In the interest Of the travelling
public especially those who have To use
the open cars OF the trolley company
which operates IN The Bronx. IS there no
law which can compel the trolley com
panies TO restore to service in inclement
weather the closed car?
As YOU know. the record will show that
the rain which fell last night between
the hours of and . p. m. was nothing
short ~ downpour. yet the open car
was run Just rs II the moon and stars
were shining with their usual lustre.
