at is a very simple matter to
purify water. Every housewife knows
that If she mixes the white of an egg
with her coffee and heats it, the al
bumen will coagulate and gather the
grounds together and leave the coffee
clear and brilliant. The egg is en-
tirely removed in this process, none
Of 1t remaining In the clear resultant
coffee.
at is on this simple principle that
all chemical methods Of water purif-
cation by mechanical filtration are
based and IL is not necessary TO heat
the water. Over four hundred cities
in the United States have purified
their water by the use Of sulphate Of
iron and caustic lime, which unite
with the impurities in the water and
settle in feathery fakes by precipita-
ton, to the bottom OF the filter
and are then washed out together
with all the impurities and bacteria
when the filter is washed. No chem
icals are left.
Analysis will show no trace of
either the sulphate of iron or caustic
lime.
There is no excuse for drinking
impure water because engineers are
available who. without expense TO
the community, will lay out an eff
cient system. Any person can start
the agitation. Take it up with your
club, or the commercial club.
Pure water is the most important
thing and the problem has been sim

UTILITY BOARD
ANSWER MADE
Declares Fair Trial Of Zone Sys-
tenn is Wise
BIZ The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
TRENTON, Oct. 6-Declaring that
q fair trial Of the zone fare system
on the lines of the Public Service
and prudent and denying that it ar
kitrarily approved of the new system
without hearing an investigation or
based exclusively on data furnished
by the trolley company, the State
Board of Public Utility Commission
ers today filed with Governor Run
yon its answer to charges lodged
with the governor by the Montclair
Board of Commissioners. The Board
of Commissioners had asked the gov
ernor to remove the members of the
Public Utility Commission for mis-
conduct in office and neglect of duty
in permitting the Public Service
Railway to inaugurate the zone fare
system.
The governor will hold a public
hearing in the matter tomorrow.
1--WE ask at the hands of the gov
ernor and on the part of the public,
a Just and impartial consideration of
all the difficulties with which this
subject is beset," Is the concluding
paragraph of the answer, which is
signed John w. Slocum of Long

Andrew Gaul, Jr., Ridgefield and Har-
ry l.. Knight of Medford, the entire
board. John w. Griggs, who is to ap-
pear as counsel for the board mem
bers at the hearing tomorrow before
the governor, also affixed his sigma
ture. In only two instances does the
answer admit any of the claims made
by the officials of Montclatr. These
exceptions are in the cases of points
S and 6 in the bill of particulars filed
with Governor Runyon by the COM
plainants With respect to the first
of these two exceptions the members
of the Utility Board say, speaking in
the third person:
"They admit that they did not COM

property of the Public Service Rail-
way Company. and it's affiliated and
allied corporations. but deny that the
appraisal and valuation of said prop
erfy Is necessary before permitting
the schedule of fares complained of to
become effective"
"The Board. in its original order
of July 10, 1918, reasonably antici-
pated that in the event of the contin-
ued increase of costs of operation.
it would be obliged to give further
consideration to increased rates. 1t
