Water Supplies for New Jersey Towns.
In the annual report of the New Jersey State Board of Health considerable attention is given to the subject of water supplies. Upon this matter Secretary Hunt says :
“The attention of various localities in this State hasduring the past year, been directed to the provision of means for securing a pure water supply, and to methods for the disposal of sewage as never before. There has come to be with a large number of our citizens a settled conviction that no effort must be spared to secure these conditions of health. Even where there is some apathy upon the part of the general public, there is a valuable constituency that will not remain in or remove to towns where there is inadequate provision in these regards. Hence, not only are our large cities perfecting methods, but such towns as Plainfield, Freehold, Hopewell, Summit and Keyport are busy with these problems. The movement for supplying Newark with pure water is one of farreaching importance.
