MATTER OF SEWERS
WAS CONSIDERED
WHY PUBLIC HEALTH OF THE
CITY IS THREATENED.
Vigorous Talks Made Before the
Economic Section of tho Green
Ridge Woman's Club Stream That
Plows Sown from the Cemeteries
Was Roundly Condemned One
Way of Doing Away with It W.
W. Scranton Slide a Pew Remarks
About the City's Water Supply.
Whenever the Economic section of
the Green Rldgo Woman's club an
pounces a meeting it Is expected that
something will drop nnd, generally
speaking, tho expectations are fulfilled.
Yesterday was no exception to the
established precedent. Indeed, no
meeting since the organization ha
been so Interesting. There was a gojJ
attendance nnd umong the guests of
honor were Messrs. W. W. Scranton,
V. 11. Sturges, S. J3. Price, J. H. Rlt
tenhouse, District Attorney John R.
Jones, City Engineer Phillips, Rev. Dr.
I. J. Lansing nnd others.
Mrs. C. P. Davidson presides, and
briefly related tho previous history of
the water agitation. She stated that
tho Green Ridge residents had used
the Scranton wntcr for two montb.i
and that the housekeepers had fotinJ
It n great Improvement over th-i for
mer supply. She spoke of the sewer
conditions in that community. Miss
Gerecke then read an Interesting letter
from Dr. J. R. Fordhnm, who was un
nblo to be piesent, but who recounted
tho history of tho Green Ridge s-wor
system. This letter related chiefly to
the danger from the stream wMch
Hows through Green Ridge, Into which
the sewerage of that portion of tho
community Is often directed. He ihin
told of the menace to public hailth
because of 'the one square where the
property owners do not connect with
tho i-cwer and then referred Imt-res-slvely
to the unwholesome condition
of the water, because It contains the
drainage from the cemeteries. He had
long been In favor of covering the
stream If It were to be used as a sewer.
MATTER OP SEWERS.
J. II. RIttenhouse was then Intro
duced. In the course of his remarks
ho said: "We who are agitating these
questions may be cranks, but if wo
nie I nm proud of It. The primary
conditions of health are good water
and good drainage. The latter Is by
far the more Important." He read
voluminous statistics to show that af
ter tho Introduction of sanitary drain
age, etc., the percentage of mortality!
dropped to an amazing degree. The cltl-
Lzen can protect himself from polluted
water by honing it; he cannot protect
himself against the evils of bad druln
age, when people nre not compelled to
connect with n sewer.
In this city instead of offering In
ducements to residents to connect they
are not permitted to do so without
first paying a fee. The speaker then
spoke of the wretched condition of
Green Ridge, in particularly as re
gards sewage. Garden houses reeking
with filth, open cess-pools and many
other evils will be found existing on
properties yhere the owners will not
connect with tho sower. In manv lots
It will bo found that one man turns
the sewer Into his neighbor's yard,
where It oozes out openly.
The sewer that ran through the speak
er's own property also ran through
the yard of No. 28 school and from
thence into the brook. At one time
when a frightful outbreak of disease
at that school had alaimed the com
munity he had gone to Dr. Allen and
begged him, as ho said, "to Jump on
RIttenhouse," but In so doing to get
after all of tho people In the vicinity
and stop the man found guilty of
abuses. Later the same sewer broke
out in the school yard and was tem
poiarlly plugged higher up. It still
exiats on those nremises. jre hopetl
theio Is enough law In this city to com
pel It to take action on such an out
rage, which threatens the lives of the
children.
STARTLING STATEMENTS.
Mr. RIttenhouse then made some
startling statements concerning the
Hticnm In Its course through the ceme
teries. He personally know that there
nre several acres where 1,200 bodies
have been buried. The brook receives
the drainage from all these and from
tho three cemeteries, the Hebrew, For
est Hill nnd Dunmore. Physicians say
there is no poison so dangerous as
ptomaine from the decomposition of
flesh. The stream flows through the
most populous portion of the com
munity. Tho possibilities are appall
ing. The borough of Dunmore Is now
blocking out a sewer system .for North
Pnik. It Is proposed to lay it the otheri
side of Columbia avenue, in the ravlnn
following the old turnpike. It will run
In nn unused portion of the city. It
Is possible to turn the couiso of the
stream dinlnlng tho cemeteries into
this channel. Indeed not more than
121 feet intervene. Dunmore has to
nslc the city for permission to carry

sewage through its property. Why not
suggest tho diversion of the stream
which would bo an advantage to both
communities?
It Is a far less expensive method than
to cover It through Gtecn Rldgo and
will obvjnto all the other difficulties.
The speaker advocated a sewer system
big enough to carry oiV the drainage
of the stream and then compel tho
citizens along Its courso to connect
with It. He believed the women had
more courage and ability to gain this
point than the men, who are so abom- i
inably afraid to make a stir for the to Key west anu uudb, wncre no visu
publlc good because of politics or , cd Matanzas, Havana and other points
business.
THE WATER SUPPLY.
He then turned his attention to the
water supply furnished by the Scran
ton Gas and Water company, statins
that with a committee of ladles, ac
companied by Robert Reeves, he had
visited Elmhurst and the adjacent
sources of the reservoirs. The condi
tions wero found to be excellent, except
In minor respects, which were already
receiving the attention of the company,
lie then quoted many legal opinions
to show that action may bo taken
against any individual or collection of
individuals who are guilty of polluting
tho source of a water supply. He con
cluded by remarking that Pennsylvania
Is In the back woods ns regards the
enforcement of sanitary laws, and that
In his opinion a board of health which
had the power to close up libraries and
other places If It wanted to do so could
protect the public health through the
medium of water pollution.
Attorney S. B. Price then presented
the legnl side of the questions at issue.
The municipality, he said, Is clothed
with power to effect these reforms. Tho
councils of Dunmore can carry Into
court their plans of providing a sewage
system, and It can just as well pass
an ordinance compelling residents to
connect with It or have the borough
do It for them at their expense. Tho
water company can enjoin any one
who pollutes the streams of Its water
supply.
City Engineer Phillips followed with
remarks uron changing tho course of
the brook, which procedure he favored,
the only difficulty being on Capouse
avenue, where perhaps the surface
water may make some trouble. He be
lieved, however, that this could ba
surmounted and asserted his 'willing
ness to lend all the assistance in his
power toward tho Improvement of
existing conditions.
MR. SCRANTON'S REMARKS.
W. W. Scranton then took the floor
and made a few remarks, in the course
of which he stated that he wa3 glad
he had come and that the consumers
were no more anxious to receive pure
wnter than the company was to sup
ply It. It was proposed to do every
thing possible to provide such a sup
ply. H6 was glad when tho club called
attention to any aspects in the system
heretofore overlooked. Every sugges
tion would be acted upon to the utmost
ability of the company. He believed
that more could be done by private
urrangement that by litigation. His.
experience with law suits proved them
to be expensive, and tho lawyers
seemed to got all there was In the
matter. Of course If tho changes sug
gested should necessitate enormous ex
pense it would probably result in a
raise in the water rates. The company
had made vast purchases liut of course
could not buy up the entire country.
Rev. Dr. Lansing briefly addressed
the meeting and expressed his pleasure
at Mr. Scranton's frank, manly way
of meeting the problems of a pure
water supply. lie "believed that the
course recommended was a good one.
This portion of the meeting being
ended n business session followed,
when tho poultry question was dis
cussed and Mrs. R. E. Hurley, for the
committee, reported that arrange
ments had been made with a woman
from the countiy who" would furnish
poultry three times a week for thf
same price paid for the cold storage
supply now provided by the dealers.
COURVr FORMALLY OPENED.
It Was Then Adjourned for One
Week.
United States Marshal Fred Leonard
and William T. Llndsey, clerk of the
United States court for the western
district, arrived in this city yesterday
morning, and going to the United
States court room formally opened and
then adjourned the March term of
court until Monday next.
Court was to havo been opened yes
terday, but circumstances compelled its
adjournment until next week.

JUDGE KASSON IS
HOME FROM CUBA
IT
IS CERTAINLY A GREAT
COUNTRY, HE SAYS.
Was Much Impressed by the Fine
Pasture Land and the Sleek Look
ing Cattle He Saw In the Cities
the Scenes Are Very Picturesque,
the Mingling of the Old and New
World Customs Making a Strong
Contrast The Fruit Is Magnifi
cent and Very Abundant.
Alderman Myron Kasson yesterday
returned from Cuba, where he spent
the last few weeks. Ho says the cli
mate agreed with him thoroughly. His
trlD comprised a jaunt through the
Southern stutes to Florida, and thence
of Interest
"It is certainly a great country," he
remarked enthusiastically yesterday:
"one of the finest In the world. The
climate is simply superb, as every one
knows. The streets are the finest I
havo ever seen, ns clean as a whistle
and well Kept. Tho people? Well, I
havo no fault to find with them. It is
very seldom that you see any of them
drunk or disorderly on the streets, and
they are always as polite and courteous
as possible.
"What struck me In particular was
the magnificent pasture lands and the
i cattle I saw In the country districts.
Fine, sleek animals, as splendid stock
as can bo found the world over.
SCENES IN THE CITY.
"In the city tho scenes at times re
minded me of old time pictures and
prints of life in Spain. Tho dark, ollve
sklnncd senoritns, with their lace man
tillas, the priests with their long, low
crowned hats, tho Indolent looking
types of the old Castlllan, all go to
make up the picture.
"Most of tho hauling is done by oxen
nnd the big, clumsy looking animals
drawing their heavy wagons also con
tribute to the effect. The people seem
to take kindly to the 'Americanos' and
are perfectly content arid satisfied.
They aro becoming Americanized to
a degree, as may be evidenced by the
fact that base ball Is gaining a foot
hold in tho country.
"The other day, when I was there, I
passed a park and saw a Spanish sign
on the fence, which was translated to
me as meaning that a game would take
place that afternoon between a Cuban
team and the Cuban Giants, the well
known colored bail plnfers. A big
crowd was going in and seemed very
enthusinstlc.
"One thing I do not like about the
Cubans is their method of giving theat
rical performances. I attended one of
the thea'ters, paid a reasonable price
and settled back to enjoy myself. It
was opera, and Spanish opera at that.
Of course, I didn't understand at first
what It was nil about, but toward the
end of tho llrst act I began to slightly
catch the drift.
COLLECT FOJl EACH ACT.
"However, when the curtain went
down nn Individual who corresponds
to the American usher enme up to mo
and Informed me that the play was
over, and that if I wished to see any
more I must pay again.
"It seems that these one act operas
aro considered a whole performance,
and that for every separate net a dis
tinct price is paid.
"However, it's a great country. The
fruit Is magnificent, the pine apples,
bananas, oranges, being treats In them
selves. On Pleasure Bent.
If you are to take a trip for pleasure
to any point in the West, you certainly
want all the comforts to be had. It
means that you must buy your ticket
via the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railways. Its trains are fast
nnd frequent. Its cars are comfortable
and easy, and the entire route passes
through the most picturesque portion
of the Middle States. Every safeguard
known to inventive genius Is tSirown
over and around patrons, and yet,
withal, Its rates of fare arc as low as
is consistent with fine service. If you
are on pleasure bent, your ticket must
surely read Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railway.
