irlbed to a number of South Norwalk
people some time ago by Prof. Clark,
of the Boston Experiment Station.
The party went all over the water
works and were fortunate enough to
strike there Iii a time when the filter
was boiug cleaned. so that they were
I llllilil d to see the operation. They test-
ed the water which is filtered from the
Mcrrimac river, which is contaminated
by sewage from a number of large cit-

ninety’ulno per cent. of all objectiona-
blc matter is removed by this process
of filtration. The filter is one of the
“acrragc” variety and apparently does
cxcellent work.
The party then went through the ex-
periment station and collected consid-
erable data regarding the filter.
No decision as to what variety will
be best for the Solltb Nor-walk Water
