well on the east side Of the river.
That the situation may be better un-
| derstood, a brief description of the
equipment is necessary.
| AS is well known, the water sup
! ply of Ellsworth comes from Branch
Pond stream. A dam is built near
the outlet of the stream on the west
side of Union river, and here filter
| beds are installed. From the filter
beds the water runs to we'll or pool
near by, and from there by pipe laid
across the bed of the river to the
pumping well at the pumping sta
tion on the east side of the river.
The water at the filter we'll, and
the water in the pumping well are
normally above the level Of the
river surface. 1t will easily be seen,
therefore, that even if there is leak
in the pipe across the river, or in
that part of the pumping well below
the river level, the pressure would
be outward instead of inward, and
the service water would flow into the
river instead Of the river water into
the pipe or well.
In the pumping we'll, however,
which is built of brick and concrete,
there is crack extending from
above the river surface to below the
river surface. If, as is possible, and
as has happened, the pumps lower
the water in the pumping well to be-
low the surface of the river water,
then the pressure is reversed, and
the river water would flow into the
we'll instead of the well water flow
ing into the river. The man in
charge at the pumping station knows
this, and has gauge to indicate
when the water in the well reaches
the danger point. 1t is some assur-
ance to know that this man is very
faithful and conscientious worker.
and 1t is well that he is when 1t is
known how much depends upon him.
But when a stranger is put on the
job, as happened recently during the
absence of the regular man, then the
danger increases 1t is the opinion
of Superintendent Leach that this
was the immediate cause Of the re-
cent contamination Of the water.
These are the conditions as learned
by DR.. Kendall Tuesday and as
known to the water company and to
many in Ellsworth DR.. Kendall ex-
pressed himself very emphatically as
surprised at the condition he found.
He says the well should be repaired.
He suggests also that chforinating
plant could be established making
the water safe for drinking purposes
at all times, at cost of approx
mately $500.
The officials of the company soon
to take\over the plant have also
looked over the situation. One sug-
gestion they are considering, 1t is
understood, is that the use of the
pumping we'll be discontinued entire
ly, and the pumps connected direct
with the pipe across the river.
1t is hoped that the present agita-
ton will result in immediate re-
pairs or alterations to prevent re-
of the trouble.

company. deplorable as l think it is,
but DR.. Kendall intimated to Judge
Crabtree, who asked him to come here.
that he had some doubt about his
power and that there was a question
as to whether the board of health or
the public utilities commission should
act in the matter. The result seems
to be that nobody acts. If these two
bodies are of no use in crisis like
this of course they are of no use at
all.
DR.. Kendall suggested that some
legislation might be asked from the
next legislature, so that the authority
of each body should be more clearly
defined, but meanwhile the inhabitants
of this place may be dying off.
1t seems to me that it is time for
someone to exercise authority and have
it ratified afterward. 1t is a serious
reflection upon our government if
these boards are going to refrain from
action on the ground that they do not
know definitely the scope of each
others authority.
Will you be kind enough to take
cognizance of the situation in an Off
cial capacity and stimulate someone
to action, even if there is doubt as
to who should start? Samples of our
water taken within ten days show
very serious condition which can east
ly be remedied. as the source of supply
is n stream from Branch pond, per-
fectly pure water, and by criminal
negligence, only. is the river water
mixed with it, OF course the river is
nothing but a sewer for this communi
ty and Ellsworth Falls.
With kind regards, l am,
Yours very truly,
John A. Peters.
Another unfortunate division or
authority seems to exist in the water
company. AS has been stated, the
property is in process of transfer.
While title and responsibility OF
operation still rest with the Bar
Harbor & Union River Power Co.,
the executive and operation officials
of that company have for several
months deferred to the advice ana
requests of the company organized
to take over the property.
1t seems to be pretty dehnltely
established that the trouble with the
water arises from the admission OF
river water to the system. and this
seems to originate at the pumping
