FOR POLLUTION OF
CITY WATER SUPPLY
Water Commission Calls on City
Solicitor for Opinion as to
Blame.
MAYOR FAVORS ACTION

Whether or not the city Is Responsible
for the inadequacy of sewer facilities at
present to carry off the waste IRON the
Bancroft mills which is the alleged source
of the pollution of the water supply OF the
CITY. or whether the responsibility rests
on the Joseph Bancroft & Sons 90. to
make provision for the disposition OF the
dvestuff and chemical waste which gets
into the Brandywine, is n question now
up to City Solicitor John W. Huxley, Jr.,
who has been asked to render an opinion
on the matter to the City Water Com
mission.
At the meeting of the Water Commis-
sioners. yesterday, Chief Engineer Van
Trump laid the whole matter before the
BODY and it was discussed for some time.
Finally il was decided, before any action
was taken, TO get an opinion from the city
solicitor as TO the liability in the premises.
Mr. Huxley is now investigating the law
on the subject, but just when he Will be
able to make report to the commission
is not known
Mavor William G.. Taylor is of the
oninion. as expressed yesterday, that it
is up TO the Bancroft mills TO take steps
for the prevention of the pollution OF the
Brandvwine, it having been stated that
the waste from that plant is the cause OF
the trouble.
LAW ON THE SUBJECT.
The mayor stated that he had looked
up the law on the subject, and had-found
that an act of the General Assembly Of
February 4. 1864, explicitly forbids the
casting. putting, placing, discharglng or
permitting to escape into any stream
chemicals or dyestuffs which Will cause
anv water to become noxious TO the
health or disagreeahle TO the sense Of
smell or taste" The offence IS designated
as a common nuisance, punishable by
fine of from $1,000 to $4,000 upon con-
viction.
The law further provides that the court
NAV issue an order for the abatement OF
the nuisance within period Of 20 days,
failure tn comply with which gives the
court authority to take charge Of the
r1reniscs and put an end 10 the business
resn0nsible for the condition complained
about
The mayors views on the matter Of re-
sponsibility for the condition are shared
bv DR.. c. NJ Handy, president Of the
Board Of Health He said the board
would keep the closest watch and the
slightest indication that conditions had
again reached an alarming stage would
bring immediate and aggressive action for
the protection Of the city.
John p. Bird Of the Bancroft Company
when asked this morning whether or not
that company had any statement To make
in regard to the matter, replied there was
nothing to be said at the present time. but
would be. perhaps, later. Mir. Bird said
that there had been much talk in regard
u the alleged pollution Of the water sup
ply. but no one had as vet approached the
bancroft Company IN regard TO 1.-THE
talk had been all around the company
but not to 1t.
