THE IIEPUKLICAN-NEWS, HAMILTON, OHIO, TUtflMUAY MAY 5 1898 DANCERS OF ELECTROLYSIS Jos. J. Pater's Remarks On The Subject. Says that Single Trolley System Causes Damage Pipes Disintegrated by Constant Action of Electrical Currents. Action on the flatter flay Become Oener I.

la the current number of Fire and Water, a prominent journal devoted to engineering, issued in New York city, there is published a very fine sketch of our city water works, illustrated with cuts of the plant, the gas and electric light works, a picture of J. J. Pater and a diagram of the supply wells. In the same connection is also produced the following remarks by Jos. J.

Pater at the late meeting of the Central States Water Works convention bill at Columbus: Mr we adjourn I wonld like to make a few remarks. We have not coine here merely for the purpose of effecting an organization, to elect officers, and for feasting, but we have come here also to secure some important knowledge in regard to water and I wish to address you for a few momenla on subjects which should receiva your Ihoughtfnl consideration during the coming year, matters that should receive our attention at the Springfield convention when we meet again. There is one great danger to our watfr works system at the present time and that is the single trolley street railway nystein. Now it would really be a great IOES to all municipal corporations and private corporations to the water works mains and private service damaged as it is being damaged at the present time through the (scaping currents of electrity from the street railway system. WB have brought here a pieca of piivate service pipe which you can see has been honeycombed through the escape of currents of electricity.

The city of Dayton has employed an expert electrician who has gone into this matter in detail and he says that the trouble originates through the single trolloy street car system. Where thi-y have eingle trolley they have ground connecl ions through which the electricity escapes aid wends its way to nny thing that will attract it and nothing attracts it better than metal and water. you have a double trolley system the escaping electricity which is not usflrt in propelling ths cars returns again to the dynamo which creates it, but not so with the single trolley system. In the city of Hamilton we find that it is affecting us in our private service and it has now destroyed a great nuni- btr of the private service of our city. That is also true in the city of Dayton.

In the city of Cincinnati it has honeycombed one large main until the main This water (should stored sway sud used for water pur poses. During this coining year these two items I suggest for your consideration. The first is the injury to our pipes by electricity. "We should employ expert electricians to sea where the trouble lies and also we ehonld see to it that oar streams are not contaminated by this filth and sewage that is constantly flowing into them. We should take some steps in this matter eo that we can remedy these evils at our next convention.

I thank you for your kind attention. THE HARKRADER VERDICT Coroner Holds That Fired the Shots Wife While Suffering From a Temporary Grand Jury now Investljtatlng.

gave way aud the entire street was flooded before they could shut oil' the water. They had the same trouble in Milwaukee. They found there that the electricity softened the metal in the pipes until the main gave way. They found that the main was almost as soft 113 lead bat when it was exposed to the air became hard again. No.v if the street car system in vogue in this city is going to affect the mains of private as well as municipal corporations, we want to know it, and this association should give this matter their consideration during the ciiBiiicg year, so that we can take definite steps at our next meeting in Springfield to remedy this great evil.

There is another fact that I wish to call your attention to, and that is the water siipply. "We all know that the purest water is the water which Ibws down the river and creeks, which is not contaminated; bnt one of the curses in which you do not rind in Europe is that we make sewers out of our rivers and creeks, and it is an outrage, because they are the natural streams and should not be contaminated. The water as it rolls down the rivers and creeks being mixed with the oxygen in the air becomes perfectly pure. It is so pure that yon can bottlo it and in a year hence when you uncork it yon will Bud that it is pure and lit to drink. The water that rolls along our creeks, rivers and rivulets, as it comes in contact with tlio oxygen of the air, is the only absolutely pure water we can rely upon, and these streams should bs protected.

Bnt incur cities they simply dump everything into these streams, garbage and sewage from mills and gas works and everything. It is simply dumped into the river contaminating the water. They are also used in this country us sowers. Now, gentlemen, that is not right. At onr nest convention this in one ol tin things wo should give FOme consideration.

We should do something to enforce the laws that wo, already have to prevent this use of onr Btreams for sno'i purpose They are the imtnrn 1 stri-nnm, the natural supply of water for our cities and when uncontaminated it is ilic the purest water we have. The water that runa down frnm our hills and rivulets into onr Btreivoia should not contaminated with nil this aowngo that is damped RALLY AT THE Y.

Resolutions Adopted Demanding; th Guaranty of a Single Fare For al Towns Along the Marsh's Caustic Talk. The meeting of the Jlillcreck valle; committee of one hundred called to pro test against a division of the old Mai: slreet line and a ten-cent fare, at the Hartwell ttwn hall, last night, wa: largely attended and marked by a viu and vigor in its proceedings. Chairman E.

S. Waddell opened the ball by reading a letter from President Dwyer, of the Dayton Traction company, stating that his company hai purchased thai portion of the Main street line north of the from Charles ctilgonr, and that it proposed to op erate a line from Lockland to Fountain square on terma: A five cent cash fare, which the compan) would pay the Consolidated for each adult passenger it carries south of the Zoo and "such additional rates of fare as will reasonably compensate the Day ton Traction company." It was the general opinion that the letter was equivocal in terms and prac tically meant nothing, and that no proposition would be considered by the residents of the valley from any company that did not provide for a continuous trip with a five-cent fare to fountain square. Resolutions introduced by Attorney A. J. Marsh were adopted, calling on the consolidated to purchase the Main street line in its entirety or to make an arrangement which would guarantee a single fare to citizens of the Mill Creek Valley towns.

Mr. Marsh, in the that the Consolidated did not want to grant a five-cent fare because any road through the valley would be merely a feeder for it, and the people would be compelled to use it anyhow. He did not believe that the Traction company had purchased the Main street line north of the 'too from Charles Kil- because il did not have the money ind could not. because the sale to him ic.d not been confirmed by the court. It was simply a covert scheme to compel people to pay two fares.

The reeo- ntions held out the threat that a law would be seomxd allowing suburban roads to run over the Consolidated. RUN DOWN BY A TRAIN D. rank Cummer Killed on H. at Cincinnati.
