Typhoid Outbreak Traced to Sewer Break in New Jersey
Trenton July 24 The State investigating committee held in the Assembly Chamber to continue the probe into New Jersey conditions. Dr John W Ward hospital medical director for forty years testified that the epidemic likely resulted from contamination of a stream due to a sewer break about 100 feet away from the source. Lawyer Backes pressed witnesses who asserted the sewer break lasted only one day. Ward said milk from different sources was mixed to be consumed, and he himself drank it to check its purity. Ward noted he did not command the entire operation, while a foreman Fitchman handled kitchen conditions and repairs. He said he received reports from various authorities but no decisive kitchen findings were given.
