Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the State Board of Health Upon the Sewerage of the Mystic and Charles River Valleys: January, 1889
The chlorine is no greater than it was 'when flowing at the same rate four months ago, and is but fifty per cent. Greater than when river water was flowing through at three times the present rate. It is now less than one-quarter of the chlorine of the sewage.
The nitrates remain the same as those of the water in the tank into which the peat was sprinkled, and there is no room to doubt that some of the water applied to the tank a year ago still lingers in the lower layers of the peat.
