result, the toilets on the Susquehanna Railroad trains traversing the watershed are not used along this portion of the railroad. This precaution may seem at first sight to be an extreme one, but when it is remembered that the typhoid epidemic at Scranton, Pennsylvania, and a number of others were positively traced to the polluting matter distributed in watersheds from railroad trains, and aiso that the railroad traversing the Pequannock watershed crosses the main streamns at least four times, the possibility of pollution from this source becomes apparent. This has been prevented by the measures taken, in which the railroad officials have co-operated.
Safeguards by Legislation-Legislation was also obtained which would allow the city to build and maintain a sewer and water supply system in the watershed for the purpose of guarding against possible future contamination of the water by the growth of the several communities in this territory. This legislation, however, created considerable local opposition. The city of Newark was prepared to spend upwards of $100,000 on the installation of a sewer and water supply for the town of Newfoundland, the largest single village in the watershed. The only drastic provision of the law was that the city should be given the right to connect outhouses existing along the line of the sewer system with the sewer, but the use of the sewer and water supply for the purpose of flushing the same was to be without cost to the people. Although Newark proposed at its own expense, to make these con- nections, Newfoundland people felt the law gave Newark an arbitrary right, and it seemed to arouse the land owners' antagonism. In the face of this opposition the plan to so protect the water supply in the future was aban- doned and the policy of the city's acquiring the properties bordering on the streams was then inaugurated. This policy has been in vogue for some five years, and at the present time the city owns more than one-half of the entire watershed.
In connection with the acquisition of numerous large tracts of land the policy of reforestration has been adopted, and each year from 150,000 to 200,000 trees are being set out in the watershed, some of these being raised in nurserles conducted by the city. In connection with the acquisition of these tracts of land a scheme of drainage for swamp areas is also in progress, by which the color of the water heretofore affected by standing on the swamps is greatly reduced.
It has been the practice of the water department until recently to use some of the available buildings for housing its own employees. Since, how- ever, the acquisition of the properties was intended to reduce the possibility of pollution from these very locations, a new line of policy has been adopted, by which the city proposes to construct a small town of its own, immediately below the intake, which it was at first proposed to name "Aquavilla," but which our newspaper friends have since insisted should be changed to "Macopin," retaining the old old Indian name which has become historic. [ The town is now-1913-nearly completed and its name, Macopin, is apparently fixed for all time.]
In changing the ownership of these large tracts of land from the indi- vidual holding to the municipality the question as to the effect on local ratables has created considerable friction, and some antagonistic feeling against the city among the county authorities in which the townships con- cerned are located. Newark, however, pays taxes on the value of the 'land, not counting the improvements thereon, and as the new policy of the city is to remove the buildings immediately on acquisition, using such as may be available for its new town, the ratables are thereby naturally decreased to some extent. Appreciating the fact that the local townships would be bur- dened in the maintenance of roads, etc., by this situation, the Newark Water Department has undertaken to construct improved roads at the rate of from a miile to two miles a year along its holdings, and is prepared to maintain these roads in lieu of the effect of its policy upon the ratables of the town- ships. Incidentally, it may be said, that if this polley can be continued for the next few years, it will result in creating in the Pequannock watershed

HISTORY OF NEWARK
one of the most beautiful parks in the whole Eastern United States, a park in which the natural beauties of this rugged country will be maintained, and in which, so far as possible, everything that would detract from the natural condition of the surroundings will be eliminated, except that one may travel through this entire territory on good roads.
The Supply's Future-It is possible that one who visits these reservoirs, which have a capacity of 9,000,000,000 gallons of water, may be lulled into the belief that here exists an inexhaustible supply of pure and wholesome water, adequate for the city of Newark for many years to come. It will, however, be wise to interject a word of caution to those who are inclined to carelessly waste water-that due consideration be given to the difficulty of augmenting this supply to keep pace with Newark's rapid growth. In fact, it may be authoritatively stated that the present supply will only be adequate for the next three years-in other words, that should nothing be done to increase this supply, and should we be visited by such a severe drough as so seriously affected the New York city supply last summer, Newark might find itself in a similar unenviable situation, practically facing the possibility of a water famine. * * * *
In the selection of a water supply for a municipality the first requisite is to obtain the purest water available, and if an entirely satisfactory supply can not be had in its natural state, it becomes necessary to resort to filtration, or sometimes to get water from deep wells. This latter source of supply invariably gives a water which is much harder in character and can not be as advantageously used for manufacturing or potable purposes. In the case of filtration an added cost is put on the distribution of the water supply. and vigilance in the operation of such a plant is the price of safety. Newark is particularly fortunate in having secured the first requisite, a pure source of supply, and it has developed this supply in such a way that any natural disadvantages in connection with taking a surface water supply are practically eliminated by the storage provisions obtained at Cedar Grove reservoir.
There is one other feature of a supply of water, which, while not dan- gerous to health, is always a source of objection. At certain times there exist growths in the water, which if allowed to propagate, cause a bad odor and give a noticeable taste. It may be remembered that Newark has had one or two experiences with vegetation in the water. There has, however, been inaugurated a careful system of collection of samples at least twice a week. A microscopical examination is made of them, from which any tendency toward the development of these growths in such quantities as would become objectionable is anticipated. When such dis- coveries are made the water supplied to the city can be taken from some other reservoir. The water supplies of both New York and Boston have at times been seriously affected by such growths. However, since the water department of Newark has established this extra surveillance there has not been noticeable any of these tastes in the water delivered to the city.
In conclusion, the writer may be pardoned if reference is made to the financial asset which the city has in its water supply. The so-called "gravity system," including the Cedar Grove reservoir, has cost approxi- mately $9,000,000. The estimated value of this plant, figuring its reserve capacity, may be conservately stated as $20,000,000. The water depart- ment is, however, still paying interest and sinking fund charges not only on the new plant, but on a portion of the bonds still outstanding for the.old plant. Each year some of these older bonds are being paid off. In 1922, $6,000,000 of bonds for the new supply will also be paid off. It is therefore possible to predict that a material reduction can be made in the charge for water at that time, and that the reduction of 6 per cent. made by the Board of Street and Water Commissioners in the meter water charges last year can probably be followed by a still further reduction in the near future.
