FOR PURE WATERS AND BETTER HEALTH Health Commissioner Dixon's Great Task Is to Reclaim the Waters of the State From Pollution. THE DISPOSAL OF SEWAGE Sanitary Engineering Division of the Department of Health Is Teaching Municipalities Efficient and Economical Methods of Drainage. A lamentable and tremendous amount of needless suffering, sickness, expense and death annually result from the wanton pollution of the streams of Pennsylvania among those individuals dependent upon these sources of supply for drinking water. Hundreds of communities hang in the balance and at any time may have an epidemic of typhoid fever stalking through their midst and decimating their numbers. Hundreds of the young and best lives of the commonwealth are annually sacrificed to the unsani tary customs of sewage disposal. Poi son material of human origin from public and private institutions, sewers and privies are emptied into streams at points but short distances above wa ter works intakes, and in a few hours thereafter are delivered through the water pipes of public systems to matiy innocent and unsuspecting individuals, who rest secure in the belief that the public authorities, having in charge the furnishing of drinking water, and who are -responsible for the purity ot the water thus supplied, are faithfully performing their obligations Public and private corporations, however, even when earnestly inclined are often limited in their powers to prevent sewage contamination of the sources of water supply. After years of affliction, and at a terrific cost in human life, it has finally dawned upon the people that a higher authority than the municipality must grapple with the problem and afford a remedy. It is, therefore, ot interest lo every citizen of the commonwealth to know about the work that Health Commissioner Dixon is doing to pre serve the purity of the waters of the state in fulfillment of the duty laid upon him by the act of April 22. 1905. The enormity of the task is com prehegded when one realizes the fact that almost without an exception every city, borough and municipality in Pennsylvania having a sewer sys tem discharges its filth into the most convenient nearby stream, regardless of consequences to the user of that stream at some point below. Further, where there are no sew ers, privies are almost universally lo cated on or near the banks of natural water courses, which thus serve as open sewers. P.y no known mathe matics is it possible to compute the extent of evil, the misery, expense, poverty, lifelong suffering and death which tiiis custom entails; but it is a lad that a large amount of it all would be driven from the state if sanitary methods of sewage disposal were adopted. It is the privilege, as well as the duty, of the State Health Commission cr to bring about just this result. No short sighted, vacillating and radical policy could be successful in such a great undertaking, it will necessarily be the work of years to undo the cus toms of generations and establish uni versal healthful conditions Its suc cess in a measure depends upon the enlightenment and co-operation of the people. The stupidity and skepticism of a preoccupied and selfish populace Is a barrier to quick results Where the public conscience is quickened, voluntary reforms will be inaugurate:) and benefits will be at once secured. In other cases the law will have to be invoked and enforced The Chief 10iv ineei of the Depart ment, F. Herbert Snow, anil his assis tants are now traversing every part of the State, making examinations of sewerage systems and water supplies and collecting data with respect to the quality of all of the waters in Penti svlvania. More than this is being done, sources of pollution and menaces which can be abated at once are reported to the commissioner, and 111 many case;; a request on his part'to Hie owner of the premises is sufficient to cause a removal of the nuisanci The niim ber of letters of cm ouragemcnt and co-operation in this kind of reform received by the (ommissloner splendid iy Illustrates the willingness of the cit izens of the state to do what is light In a few cases owners wilfully refits* to do away with the causes of disease, in which eveni they are being brought into court or forced to comply wiih the w Another important feature of the eommiiMloiier'tf work is appealing to thi» municipalities, namely, tb> utiliz ing fr«« of cost to them of the services of the engineer Inn department in con* sulfation and advice respectful the |n- Htallai inn of new water works and sew ft system* and the extension* of exist ing *y«teui l'hl» engineering service doe-, not Interfere with the work of the engineer In private practice, but Increases It. The state department gives free of coat the very best engi neering advice procurable, which has already resulted in saving to munici palities large sums of money by ob viating; costly mistakes. In carrying out the general advice and suggestions* of the state department, the municipal ities must employ their own engineers, but before plans are finally adopted they pass for approval to the health commissioner. Dr. Dixon confidently asserts that through his engineering division he will save to the munici palities in the state hundreds of thou sands of dollars, and at the same time work with the local authorities in car rying out local improvements.
