Discolored Stream Taints Dairy and Land Values

On cross examination, Coe admitted the stream was sometimes discolored by dyestuffs from Winchester mills at night but cleared within hours. He said he once offered his farm for sale at 10 000 dollars, and that the Town Run had always been a dirty stream. He cited the sewage plant and condemned cows, noting fish killed by gas house effluent. Witness Soto Coe praised the plant but confirmed dyestuff pollution. Jolliffe rented stream land in 1914 and would not put cattle there again, while Haldeman valued nearby land at about 75 dollars an acre with good water and halved value with pollution.
