LAW AS TO WATER SUPPLY INSPECTION OF WATER SHED AND ANALYSIS OF WATER REQUIRED EVERY THREE MONTH'S BOARD OF HEALTH WILL SEE TO IT Only Seven of the Fourteen Companies Using Surface Water Have Had Analyses Made in the Past Six Months. Danger to Health. 1 went around yesterday to see Dr. R. 11. Lewis no get some information about water and water works, and said to him: “1 notice, doctor, a statement in the Wilson News that at the reeenit Health Conference there you spoke in compli mentary terms of the Wilson Water Works. What is your opinion of their system, and do you think it possible for Raleigh to have as cheap water as Wil s<>ji ?” |The cost of water in Wilson is 10 cents, in Raleigh 40 cents. The town owns the system in Wilson. —Editor.] Dr. Lewis replied: “Our examination in the very short time at our disposal between the ses sions of the Conference was limited to an inspection of the stream at the in take and the pump house, and 1 uin, therefore, unable to give an opinion in detail. 1 take pleasure in saying tibia, however, that the Wilson water supply possesses the three prime requisites— abundance, qualitiy (or it ougfit to Lie good if properly looked after) and cheapness. 1 win not prepared to say that Raleigh could with justice to the water company have as cheap water as Wilson because I do not know all the v facts. It has been said that the Ilaleigh plant was intended as an advertisement by the promoters, and that it is excep tional in quality of material and work manship—and therefore more costly*—- whether to the extent of the stock is sued or bonds stfld is for some one better informed on those features to de clare. “I Co not hesitate to say. however, that in my opinion the price charged for water by the Raleigh Water Company is unreasonably high. It is simply pro hibitory to the very class that most need it. It is among the poor and ig norant that unsanitary conditions chief ly prevail and disease is more likely to originate and spread. Os till others they most need an abundant supply of pure witter and sewer connections. But they cannot have them at such prices. This condition of affairs should not be permitted to last a day longer than is absolutely necessary. I was positively shocked to see in the papers that the idea of renewing the franchise of our water company was being entertained. I have my doubts about the wisdom of - municipal ownership in general, but the water supply should undoubtedly be owned by every city, even if as it result of political favoritism it should be rim ostensibly at a loss, for if all the people could l>c furnished an abundance of good water there would be a net gain (o the community even then. “Doctor, what is the law in regard to public water supplies and the juris diction of your l ward in connection with them “i haven't the* time nor you the space to fully answer your question, so I will have to refer yen for our powers in general to section 5, and specifically to sections 18 and 19 of chapter 214, Laws of 1895. As disease can be, and not infrequently is, conveyed wholesale by contaminated public water supplies their oversight constitutes consid erable part of our work. As supple mentary to the original act relating to the Board of Health just referred to we secured the enactment by the last Leg islature of “An act to protect water sup plies” in a somewhat emasculated form, however, I regret to say. But it is not entirely without virtue, for it re quires regular inspection of watersheds every three months or oftener if in the opinion of the health authorities there is reason to suspect the water supply; and quarterly analysis, both chemical and bacteriological—at the expensd of the companies. A copy of this law printed in the Monthly Bulletin of the Board was promptly sent to all water companies and to all mayors of cities and towns having public water supplies. It is the duty of the municipal authori ties in the interest of their citizens to see that its provisions tare obeyed, but whether they have done so or not 1 am not prepared to say. I am pained to state, however, that only seven of the fourteen using surface water have had ihe analyses made in the past six months,' so far as I have been informed. This matter was considered by the Board in private session at the recent Health Conference, and the inference drawn from the failure of the water companies to have these analyses made as the law requires was that they were suspicious of their own water. These examina tions at comparatively short intervals are necessafy to ascertain if the water is contaminated and that the source of impurity may Ik* located and removed. A water company failing to have them made is like an army that sends out no scouts to learn the whereabouts and force of the enemy and like such an army is liable at any time to a catas trophe. In. order'lo prevent a repetition in future of such reprehensible negli gence the following action was taken: “Oil motion the secretary was inv structod to publish in the Bulletin the name of such water companies as fail to comply with the requirements of the law to protect water supplies with com ments; if they continue to refuse to comply to send marked copies of said Bulletin to a number of, the leading citizens of the city or town, and if they still persist in refusal to have the water examined by the State Chemist ami by one of the bacteriologists of the Board, and to publish tin* analyses. "It has been aptly said that the char acter of a water supply is as sensitive to criticism as a woman's virtue, and it is easy to understand what effect such publications would have upon consum ers. We hope, however, and believe that tin* water companies will not render this necessary, for we desire to encour age in every way the use by tin* i>eoplr* of the public water believing it to be much safe than wells in cities and large towns, provided tin* supply is properly looked after ami cared for. “Well, I expect I have already said too much for your crowded columns, so just put me down as ail uncompro mising advocate of pure water in tin* greatest abundance as cheap as possible —especially to tin* smalt consumer.” MARION’S PROGRESSIVENESS. Round Knob Hotel to be Closed-The Gruber Family. Marion, X. C., Nov. 5. —(Staff Corre spondence.)—Alarionv nestling at the foot of the Blue Ridge, is one of the best little towns in Western North Carolina. The progress in development of this place during the last few months lias been re markable. Eight new stores and two furniture factories have been built re cently. One of these factories ships an output of two or three carloads per day. They will both double their capacity in the spring. ,~t least twenty-five elegant dwellings have Ihkui built during the past year. There is not a single vacant house in town, but they are greatly in demand. -Several very nne ones are now in process of erection, iur. Wrenra, proprietor of Catawba Factory, is building an elegant one. Perhaps the finest in town is a large brick dwe .mg being built by Air Charles Bobbitt. The most imposing structure which is Iseing rapidly pushed to oonqsletion us a large opera house located by the side of the Eagle Hotel.

To tin* Editor: Being in New England on a visit to schools, and having spent a delightful day here. I feel like writ ing a short letter for your columns, which I hope will interest some of your readers. Hartford is a beautiful city of about eighty thousand inhabitants, sit uated near the centre of Connecticut, in tin* valley of tin* Connecticut River. A .settlement was made here by Rev. Thomas Hooker and a handful of men and women from Boston in .1(550. Tin* church yard in which he sleeps was pointed out to me today. The school he established, known as Hartford High School, has about one thousand students, mid is a largo feeder to Yale College. ! Out of this grew Trinity College, one of tin* best colleges in New England, Is I located here, Imd is a splendid progres j give school. The* city schools are very excellent. The American Institution ! for the Deaf and Dumb, one of the j very best schools of the kind in the | country, is located here, and has been I in successful progress for nearly a cen • tnry. The capital is a magnificent edi fice. costing over*wo millions of dollar*-.‘ beautifully located in Bushnell park, the old site of Trinity College, It is built of marble and granite, and handsomely frescoed. In the Senate Chamber I sat ‘ in the chair made of the Charter Oak, which fell in 185<>, and in which the old charter was* hidden to prevent its remov al by the King’s emissaries. I had the j pleasure of looking upon the original I charter itself, “which is carefully pre | served in the State House. In the State Library 1 saw the portraits of all tin* 1 Governors of the State since its found ing. Statues of many of these stand in the eapitol and in tin* park surrounding it. Chief among the statues that stand as memorials to the State’s regard for . their distinguished sons is the one to Nathan Ilale. the unfortunate teacher and soldier who was arrested during the Revolution and hanged as a spy. On it are inscribed his last words, "My only regret is that I have but one life to give for my country.” Among those who are perpetuated in bronze and marble j are Noah Webster, Trumbull, Rev. Thomas Hooker and Putnam. A mag nificent life-size portrait of AVashingtim, painted by Smart for tin* State ! South Carolina, and bought by Con necticut, seamls in tin* Senate Cham ber. Autograph loners are to be f and in large numbers in the State Libra v, from distinguished men of Colonial ai d Revolutionary days. A revolving can non from, the sunken Spanish warship : Viseaya. /stands in the rotunda, and hundreds of battle flags, torn by the i storm of the civil War, are preserved in i suitable cases in ithe building, ihe mod est homes of Noah Webster, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Mark Twain, Charles • Dudley Warner, and! Senator Hawley, a North Carolinian by birth, are pi anted i out with pride by these people. As 1 looked upon ‘the statues and j paintings of this Stale's heroes todaj. 1 I could not help feeling very sad :o re j fleet upon our own sad mistakes along this line. We are too remiss in our du ty to our heroes. Our capital must also be an art gallery, in which the rev- i ered forms of our heroes may appear to prove our pelritisin, and our apprecia tion. of those who in peace and war labored for our welfare. This is also the home of many great? insurance companies, whose palatial buildings were pointed out to me today, 'ihe Pope Manufacturing Company, which makes tin* Columbia Bicycle, is situated here. The dress, the voice, the architecture, tin* a ; pern net* and cliarac- I tenistics of flu* people are very different here from what they are in New York j and to the southward. I haven’t seen j but one negro in the city, and lie looked lonesome. The laboring people are more intelligent nnd better paid than ours. 1 hope to jot something more from Northampton or Boston. Till then, adieu. M. 11. HOLT. Northampton, Mass., Xov. 2. Yesterday I wrote a few lines from Hartford. This morning Mr. Goodwin and myself enjoyed a ride up the beau- ; tilul and prosperous Connecticut Valley,! past \\ indsor, Springfield, Chicopee and Holyoke, to this place. The rains of tin* ! past few days had ceased and we had a char, cool, crisp morning, so that every mountain, farmhouse and City stood forth res pendent in the sunlight. The Connecticut, “the long river,” averages . here about one thousand feet in width, but is quite shallow. A prominent sea ture of tin* landscape is the New Eng land tobacco barn, or more nearly, to bacco shed, because the itobaeeo raised lure is air cured. Most of our Havana cigars are made of this tobacco. North ampton is a great educational center of Massachusetts. Smith College for high er education of women is located here. Dr. See lye, formerly president of Am herst College, is president, of Smith Col lege. Nearly fifteen hundred young wo men, half of them from other States, are in school here. The entrance ex aminations are as high as those required to enter the Sophomore class at our State University. It costs a girl here from 80(10 to So.OOti dollars per annum to go to this college, owing to her fath er’s money and lack of sense combined, dust across the valley, at the foot of beautiful Mt. Holyoke, stands Alt. Holyoke Seminary, another large school for the collegiate instruction of young women. There are several 'Hundred girls in this school. Seven miles up the val ley, hut in plain view this morning, rise the dome of Amherst College, where a thousand young men are fitting them selves for the professions and for life. To the westward only a .snort ride, over tin* beautiful cerulean Berkshire Hills, is Williams College, where for half a century that born teacher, Mark Hop kins, influenced so many men during their collegiate life. Here last but not least is tin* greatest oral school for the deaf in tin* world, the Clark School, presided over by one of the greatest and most consecrated of women, Miss Yale. There are many spots, sacred in his tory and tradition, near here. Mt. Holyoke on the east and Mt. Tom on ihe west side of flu* Connecticut river, tare known as the haunts of Alassasoit, so long the friend of the New England settlers. These are also the home and haunts of King Phillip, who did not in herit his father’s love for the “pale face,” but who led a rebellion of his race, and after his defeat by Church, and tlu* destruction of his Graves, met a tragic death among these hills. Not far away is Deerfield, the scene of one of the most cruel butcheries of the Indian war, and many relies of that fearful catastrophe, picked up near The spot, are preserved in a museum there. Not many miles to the southeast is Mystic, where the LVquot Indians were destroyed, af ter having danced the war dance, and applied the war paint to exterminate the infant settlements of Hooker at Hart ford, and Duronv>ort at New Haven. Everything through this part of Massachusetts is different from North Carolina. The style of architecture is mainly Colo ilia 1. there are no negroes, the hotel servants are white girls, the brakeuien, the barbers, the hack-drivers I will talk with you in almost any lan- Iguagc >:on may choose, so you do not have too long a repertoire, and will dis cuss any subject from the “origin of ; the species” to the “.initiative and the referendum.” Time and space forbids discussing many interesting characteristics of these people and tlris part of the country. This whole State, however, stands as an object lesson of whar universal edu cation docs to make a State rich and prosperous. May we learn lesson’s of economy from Massachusetts along this line! M. H.

BEAUTIFUL SHADE TREES PEACE STREET TO BE OPENED DURING NEXT AIONTIL ARSENAL WILL SHORILYBE TORN DOWN A Statement Shewing In Detail the Work That is Making Raleigh the Prettiest City in the South. A Month of Great Activity. To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen: Your Committee 011 Streets beg to sub mit herewith the following report: The work on our streets lias progress ed admirably during the past month. The weather has been fine and we have been able to accomplish very satisfactory results as will lie shown by detailed statement of the work done which fol lows later An this report. We have or dered 1,000 mice sugar maple trees which will be set out now in a few weeks on all tlbe streets in our city which have 'been graded and curbed, and we sin cerely trust that our citizens will take a sufficient amount of interest in the preparation of tiiese trees to see that they are well boxed and cared for after they are placed on the sidewalks at the expense of the eity. We feel that too much care aiwl attention cannot be given tii'.s part of our work and we hope in a few years to see every sidewalk in the city graded and curbed and mice beauti ful shade* trees well located on them. This can be done if tile citizens wi’.l take an interest in the matter aid assist the eetmmittee in its work, if tnis plan is properly canned out and developed as we desire it will make one of the mast beautiful cities in the universe. Work at tile rock quarry has been mov ing along very smoothly for tlhe past month or two and we are getting things in good shape out there. The new rock crusher wain soon be at work and with the additional care which we propose to put on we will be able to ; push the macadam w..- greater rapidity. We expect to commence the opening of Peace street within the next 90 days and when once started; this work will b.* pushed forward until that street is open ed and extended to the city limits. We have delayed commencing this work be cauoe we desired o complete the grading and improving of some of the streets al ready started. The grading and improving of Boy km Avenue has been pushed forward begin ning at Hillsboro street and we will con tinue this work and t ush it as rapid s y ! as possible consistent with improvements ! in progress in other sections of the city ; until it is graded and put im. good condi tion from Hill-boro street to the city limits. I We called attention iii our last report ! to the bad condition of some of the side ! walks 011 Fayetteville street. These sidewalks are iimanediately An the heart of the city and tuey are 'more seen by strangers than any other portion of our city, and we regret to say that they are probably in worse condition than any other sidewalks in the city. We recommend, therefore, that the Chief of Police he instructed to notify all property owners on these two thor oughfares whose sidewalks are paved with soft brick that they must lw* remov ed and replaced either with granolithic pavement or vitrified bricK. We have been in communication re cently with tin* State authorities in re gard to removing the old Arsenal from the eapitol square grounds and we are able to report that we think we are safe in saying that this unsightly building will be torn down and moved within the next few moil tills. j The following amount of work in de- j tail has been done since our last rejiort. Curbing set as fooows: On Bloodworth street 011 both sides be- 1 tween 'Newborn Avenue anu Kdimton 1 street, and 011 one side 'between Bdenton street and Joneis street, and on one side between Lane street and -akWood aven ue; on both sides between Oak wood j avenue and Polk street.
