COSrOF FILTRATION SOME FIGURES. ARE QUOTED ON THE SUBJECT A COMMISSIONER GIVES HIS VIEWS. The recommendation of the Board of Water Commissioners that a filtration plant be established, is being discussed among Councilmen and city officials. The Maidencreek supply is said by the board to be causing sickness of a typhoid fever type, the stream pass ing through small towns which deposit a certain amount of sewage into it; the Antietam occasionally is of objection able taste and odor; the Egelman polluted by the offal and refuse of a great number of outing parties held on the drainage area, the board claiming that no other remedy will be so effective as a nitration plant for the purification of the city's water supply. Members of the board have for years been inquiring into the best methods and are very favorably toward slow sand filtration.

Ore of the com missioners says: Since the germ theory of diseases has attained such prominence as an explanation of the cause of disease, and scientists have conclusively proven its transmission with water into the human system, we tan no longer ignore their claims that impure drinking waters are frequent atid potent causes of sickness and death to the consumer, and the com missioners conclude that the most im portant duty lies in making every ef fort to furnish the consumer with wa. "It is, therefore, to filtration that the people of Reading must look to secure these results, and howovcr great the cost, it is but proper to consider health and life paramount thereto. We be lieve that this sentiment will prevail and that our city will be provided' with this safeguard. "Thus far, slow sand filtration has been found to show the highest effici ency wherever adopted though the system is considered rather costly in construction, the filter bed, if well de signed and properly cared for, is al most indestructible and involves prac tically no expense for repairs. The ex pense of operation is practically con fined to the cleaning of the filters, and is much less than that attending any system of mechanical filtration.

According to another source of information, the cost of 0 constructing now sana niters ror the entire system vould be about as follows Maiden Amtietam, 3ernhart, Egelman, $6,900, making a total of $288,300. One of the commissioners states "that many other cities of the size and progressive spirit of Reading are continually spending amounts for improving their water supply and that Reading will take a 6tep in the right direction in securing a filtration system. Sand filtering can be depended upon at all times to remove the muddiness in the waters, and the organic matters producing tastea and odors and the odors themselves, and should there be any germs, these will be obliterated. This system can be made largely automatic in action, requiring no steam or power plants for operation. "It is just what we need in Reading, so far as I can see at present."

It will continue to exist, annoy, and perhaps agonize, as long as these humors remain. It is alwaya radically and permanently cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla which expels all humors, and is positively unequalled for all cutaneous eruptions.
