Unsanitary Conditions Exaggerated.

Councilman IL. j. DIOnul anu OoAio'0oI
S. Rushing Leap reported to the Council
Tuesday night what they had learned on
their visit to the State Board OF Health
at Trenton that afternoon.
They were accompanied by DIR =. l..
Flemming and s. M. Justice, OF Pen ns
| Grove Board of Health, also Willard
Layton, secretary of Upper Penns Neck
Township Board.
After hearing the report of d. q. Bow
| ell, Chief Sanitary Inspector OF the state,
as a result of men sem over the Borough
two weeks ago they had fear oil returning
| home, but when they considered that
| only a few cases of unusual ~unsanitary
| conditions were specified, conditions
| brought about by congested population OF
powder workmen, they lost their fear.
Where there were numerous boarders
the water supplies and drainage is in
sufficient. Numerous privies and garbage
piles where flies breeds, need to be clean
ed up.
The most congested and unsanitary To-
cation was designated to be along the
south shore from the Railroad Station to
the Cove Creek, where persons from
Wilmington and Philadelphia spend the

recuperate from the city grind. Some
of these cottages are now occupied by
powder Workmen; many 10y summer So
journers recuperatfng their health under
alleged %unsanitary conditions.
The report recommended the follow
ing:
Storage and disposal OF human ex-
crement.
2.-Sanitary supervision over places
where food and drink are disposed.
3.-Water supply. Shallow wells be-
lieved to be polluted, to be examined
physically, chemically and bacteriologl-
cally.
4.-The disposal of waste liquids by a
larger use of storm sewers and drains.
ga public collector of garbage and
rubbish.
GA definite plan to proceed under
constant supervision.
at public health conditions are to be
improved, a competent full time Health
officer should be in charge and funds
must be forthcoming to carry on the
work."
William H. Chew, of Salem, President
of the State Board of Health, told the
delegation that under the new law the
State Board has power to clean up any
place in the State, and charge the cost to
the Municipality. According to Mr..
Bowen's report the conditions threaten
the health of former residents as well as
new ones.
State Assessor Fred. A. Gentiue, who
was in the capitol OH official business,
was called in and stated that most OF tile
conditions were the same as in past
years, and the present reports were much
exaggerated.
The dupont Company maintain a free
hospital for workmen, and were doing all
to protect the health conditions of the
workmen.
Mr.. Chew asked whether it be posi-
BILE to employ a full time scavenger.
Mr.. Leap replied that Penns Grove
WAS up against the proposition financial
ly. While expensive conditions were
imposed upon the Borough, a few were
benefited, Others not. AS the Powder
Works are in the Township no tax reve-
nue. is derived from the works.
A tentative agreement WAS made that
the Borough appropriate $1,000, the
Company $1,000 and the Township
81, 900.
