.IMPERILLED BY
DIRTY STREAMS
Prince Georges Danger
Shown by Survey

Open sewers that empty In
streams within q few feet Of
bridges over which children must
pass on the way to school are still
in use in the metropolitan area OF
Prince Georges County.
An investigation was conducted
at the request Of an Edmunston,
Nd, mother who is protesting that
several severe cases Of communl-
cable diseases have occurred as q
direct result Of the tooclose con-
tact Of school children with the
sewage infested streams.
A study Of the situation shows
that at least six open sewers
empty into the slow.moving North
east Branch Of the Anacostia
River in Edmunston within hun
dred yards Of the Welles Avenue
Bridge. One Of these sewers is Q
threefoot trunk line carrying sew
age from Hyattsville and empty
ing into the branch several feet
above the normal water mark.
KNOW OF DANGER
Health authorities of the county
readily admit the dangers Of the
polluted stream and know Of at
least two cases Of typhoid are
known to have resulted from chill
dren playing in or near the stream
within the past two years.
It was also stated by the health
officials that the condition exists
not only in Edmunston but also
in all the towns bordering on the
branch. including Colmar Manor.
Bladensburg, Hysttsville, Brent
wood, Edmunston, Riverdale, Col
lege Park, Lakeland, Berwyn, Ber-
wyn Heights, and Branchville.
The stream drains an area
populated by more than 10000
persons.
EVEN FISH DIED
A resident of Edmunston told
the reporter that several times
during the summer, when the
water level became low, the sew
age content became so high that
it killed the fish in such numbers
that they piled up on the sand
bars and increased the unpleasant
ness Of the odor.
