Why Not Build It Elsewhere?

As the hoard of supervisors of Westchester County, N. Y., are doing their best to establish a tuberculosis sanitarium in the Croton watershed, just one mile distant north from the Croton lake station, so much indignation has been stirred up on the subject that Edward Hatch. Jr., chairman of the pollution committee of the Merchants' Association of New York City, has expressed himself very strongly on the subject. He says that "this is the second time that a proposition to poison the water supply of New York City by the establishment of a hospital for the treatment of persons suffering with or convalescing from tuberculosis has been made. Millions of dollars are being spent all over the world to conquer and control the tuberculosis germ, thousands of dollars are yearly expended to protect New York’s water supply from pollution of ordinary character, and to permit the establishment oi this tuberculosis germ manufactory would be an outrage.” Mr. Hatch merely expresses the views of a very large section of the community on the subject, and he calls on everyone who is anxious to protect New York City’s water supply to enter a protest against the establishment of a germ manufactory on its watershed.
