Found the Supply Plentiful rind Wholesome Company is Constantly Acquiring Land With a View to Preventing Anything of Dangerous Nature Finding Lodgment on its Water Shed Some of tho Improvements That nro Under Contemplation by tho Company. Members of the board of health and other city ofilclals yesterday Inspected the reservoirs and sources of the water Btipply of the Providence this nnd Water company. After making the lound uf tho reserviors the party lunched on the shores of Summit laUe, near Clark's Summit. In tho party were Mayor JamcJ O. Bnllcy, Dr.

W. A. Paine, president; Attorney George S. Horn, M. J.

Kelly nnd Dr. K. Uentley, of the board of health; Attorney R. J. Murray, secretary of the bourd; Dr.

W. V. Allen, health olllccr; Captain W. II. Ruike, sanitary ofneer; T.

N. Cullen, food Inspector; M. F. O'Malley, plumbing In-fcpector; Ildwnrd James, and John J. Kearney, of sanitary committee of select council; Major J.

R. Fish, superintendent, nnd V. K. Arnold, assistant superintendent of the Providence Gas nnd Water company, nnd representatives of the dally papers of the city. The water supply was found to bo abundant, aggregating about one billion gallons, nnd gae every Indication of being pure and wholesome.

Near Chinchilla was tho only thing approaching nuisance likely to contaminate the water supply that was discovered by the Investigating patty This nuisance Is due to the crennioiy of tho Sttanton Dairy company, which Is built on the hank of the stream. All the refuse from the creamery Is washed Into the creek, greatly polluting the water. At present tho Water company is not taking any water from this creek. When the Dairy company began to pollute the stream the water company ceased to utilize it. CHANGE PROBABLE.

The members of the Inspecting party felt that in the event of a long dry spell and consequent scarcity of water the company might bo forced to fall back on this stream and It was deemed advisable to have It In fit condition for use. It is ptobablo that tho dairy company will be asked to build a sewer that will carry the refuse from its plant to a point on the Leg-gett's Creek below the lowest reservoir of the company. An alternative plan is to lay a line of pipe for the water company up the stream and construct an intake above the creamery. Tho first stop after the party left the city was made at the low pressure reservoirs of tho company nt Chinchilla. There Is located the first reservoir of the company constructed thlity-one ears ago.

It Is a small affair. It was the first intention of the company to supply water only to the Delaware and Hudson Canal company nnd the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company, but soon demands were made on It by people of the northern part of tho city who desired to obtain water nnd the company was compelled to branch out and Increase its supply. The work of improvement has gone on since nnd now the company has thiee resenohs at Chinchilla, the two low pressure reservoirs and one a short distance above known as the Leach lescivolr. The other reservoirs of the company are the Griffin pond, Summit lake and Maple Glen. THEIR CAPACITY.

The two low pressure reservohs at Chinchilla hae a capacity of 1,500,000 and the Leach reservoir over a half a million gallons more. This Is known as tho lilch pressure reservoir and Is 310 feet aboe the lcel of the Lackawanna river and 266 feet above Providence squaic. it Is uf-ed for furnishing wnter to the high points of Green Ridge and the Sixth watd of Dun-more. In tho evnt of a big fire In Piovidencc the entile water supply for that place can be obtained from this high piessure reservoir, which would give a pressure that would render the use of steamers unnecessary. The Griflin pond ieserolr is the largest owned by the company nnd is about four miles northeast of Chinchilla.

The water covers 125 acres of land and has an neiage depth of twenty feet. The capacity is 7JO.000.000 gallons. The water from this leservolr is carried along the natural bed of the lake outlet until a point one-thltd of a mile nbove the Leach reservoir Is reached, From that point down it is carried in a twenty-four inch terra cotta pipe The company owns all the land mound Griflin pond nnd on both sides of the creek lending to Chinchilla, which prevents the locating of anything that would have a tendency to pollute the water. Four miles to the south of Giiflln pond and between Clark's Summit and the Poor Farm is Summit lake, which was originally known ns Mud pond. Hero the company has made wonderful lmproements.

Stumps and Heating Islands were removed and now there is a lake of clear, pure water that covers sixty-eight acres of ground. Tho average depth Is fifteen feet and the capacity Is 150,000,000 gallons Both of these big reservoirs are supplied almost entirely by springs. GRirriN POND SUFFICES. So extensle is tho supply of the company, that een now in the summer, when the dally consumption is about ii.000,000 gallons, the Grlllln pond furnishes tho entire supply. It Is not found necessary to take any water from Summit lake Between tho latter and Chinchilla Is the Maple Glen storage reset voir with a capacity of gallons.

It Is for emergency purposes, such as extenshe fires or other unusual demands on the water supply. From Summit lake the water flowj in Its natural channel to ithln le.in than half a mile of Chinchilla, from which point It Is piped in 24-inch teiru cotta pipes to tho Leach reservoir, whore the extensive filtering plant of the company Is located, IKie the water passes first thiough a series of screens, then through a chamber In which a number of thin snips of soft iron are suspended for the purpose of gathering tho impurities that may escape through the Kcreens, Afterwards as a further precaution the water passes through a sieve of burlap. Above and below the filters ute arrangements for neiatlng the water to Improve Its heulthfulness and taste. Major Fish, who Is supctlntendcnt of the company, has devised tho filteilng arrangements In use at the Leach leservolr and extensive tests move that they do their work thoroughly. Ar rangements were mado some time ago to supplement the present filters by one of charcoal, but it was found unnecessary.

CAN BE CLEANED. All of tho reservoirs are so arranged that they can bo emptied und cleaned without In any way affecting the supply to the consumers. Among the Improvements contemplated by tho company aio the construction of another reservoir at Chinchilla nnd tho extending of the ten a cotta pipe to within a. short distance of the Staple Glen reservoir. During a henvy rnln storm, dirt from tho rond which skirts tho bank of the crock a distance, Is washed down Into it nnd it Is to avoid thlB source of pollution that the pipe Is to be extended to a point above where this danger exists.

The company is constantly acquiring land on tho water shed from which it obtains Its supply and It Is now almost Impossible for anything of a dangerous nature to be located unywhere near tho reservoirs or tho souiccs that supply them. Sanitary OIher Burke took samples of the water fium the urious reser-olrs. They will be analyzed, ml the result made known to the board of health. The members of the board es-terday expressed themselves as gratified with the condition of tho teser-volrs inspected. They sa theie hns been a gtadual and constant Improvement In the quantity nnd quality of the Providence company's supply and now It has reached a point sincerely worthy of commendation.

Thursday the boaid will Inspect tho resenolrH of the Scranton Gn- nnd Water company nt No. 7, Elmhurst und Williams' Bridge. ONE OF ROUGH RIDERS. Otto Vockroth Describes the Tirst Engagement in Which They Paiticipated Fato of Spy.
