BOARD OF HEALTH SCHOOL
Soil Filtration Gives Safety, Not Depth
of Wells
ALL WATERS MUST BE CONSERVED
VOL. 81, NO, 4o

Some who come to Penns Grove filled
with the science and knowledge of books
and what happened in other localities
where the earth is rock and billy with
assures in the days and rocks and open
c~revices in the layers of shale are alarm
ed at the waters used from shallow
wells. Because wells in and near Penns
Grove are only from six to sixteen feet
deep. They believe we drink surface
\ water. Some never heard of ground
water"
Surface water is that which run di-
rectly into a well without filtration. In
a country where rocks and clays abound
surface water may run through c%revices
to a deep well. A man in Penns Grove
who worked in the mines of Pennsylva-
mia told us he has known water to per-
colate through the earth n hundred feet
in twenty-four hours and carry typhoid
germs. Mark w. Richardson, M. D.,
secretary of Massachusetts Board of
Health, in his revision of DR.. Harring-
toms Manual of Practical Hygiene, men
tions a case where typhoid germs went
800 feet through the earth to a well.
The depth of a well is not a criterion to
the safety against malignant microbes
in well water. 1t is the filtration quail
ties of the soils through which the water
soaks which gives the safety.
The deepest wells in Penns Grove are
16 feet. Some which were too ironv are
not used. Others vary in quality. A
well driven last week at the edge of
the Cove meadow at a depth of 16 feet
good water was found. At a depth Of
20 feet lone was found.
Twenty-Five years ago Andrew Lee, de-
string to get good water at 374 Main
street, contracted to give $1.00 a foot for
water at any depth. The well driller
from Camden came to get 5000. Below
16 feet no supply of water was found.
At 10 feet logs were struck. After
leaving three points and pipes in the
ground and expanding a weeks labor,
the efforts were abandoned. He got
nothing.
In 1902 the Mayor and Council OK
pended $500 drilling and prospecting
for a municipal supply of water. Wells
were drilled in Sheble Grove, Pitman
meadow, the Cove meadow and on the
Borden farm at Friendship Station. A
Wilmington engineer advised abandon
ment for artesian water and a resort to
the Delaware river with a filtration
plant.
Twenty years ago the great need for
water at the powder mills on Carnev
Point led the DUPONT COMPANY to drill
for water. They went to a depth of $50
feet, struck Brandywine granite and
abadoned the project after expanding
thousands of dollars.
Layton's pond, which is fed by Two
penny Run, which extends four miles into
Pilesgrove, was bought and a pipe line
laid at an expense of 100000. in order
to get water fit for manufacturing pur-
poses.

gallon is gone she will have IS to put

Modesty Of Bach.

From the time when Bach was so

the Weimar chapelmaster psalms and
sacred cantatas and chamber music and
as the musical director of the St Thorn,
