Well Known Summer 
Resident Passes Away. 
Charles H. Dalton, a well known sum- 
mer resident cf Beverly Farms, and 
identified with many public and private 
interests, died Sunday at his home, 33 
Commonwealth avenue, Boston. He 
had not been ill, therefore his death was 
unexpected. He was at his business of- 
fices in the stock exchange building, 
_ State street, on Friday last, and on Sat- 
urday was out driving. Retiring that 
night in apparently his usual health, he 
quietly slept his life away. 
Mr. Dalton, who was in his eighty- 
second year, was born in Chelmsford on 
Sept. 25, 1826, aud was the son of the 
late Dr. John Call Dalton of Lowell 
and later of Boston. Mr. Dalton’s 
mother was Julia Ann Spaulding of 
Chelmsford. 
A close frie:id of the late Gov. John 
A. Andrew, Mr. Dalton in civil. war 
days undertook important missions to 
Washington, waere he went in behalf of 
Gov. Andrew on private confidential 
business regarding Massachusetts and its 
relaiion to the Government. In this 
work he achieved great success. 
For many years Mr. Dalton has spent 
his summers at Beverly Farms and was 
known to almost the entire North Shore 
summer colony. He it was who gave 
the name of West Beach hill to that sec- 
tion of the Farms where he spent his 
summers. It previously had been known 
more familiarly as Dalton Hill. Mr. 
Dalton is survived by his wife, formerly 
Miss Mary McGregor, and by.a brother, 
Henry R. Dalton of Boston. 
Brookline’s Water Supply. 
Inasmuch as Manchester folk are 
much interested at the present time in an 
additional water supply the following 
clipping from last Sunday’s Boston Herald 
on Brookline’s water supply is quite 
apropos: 
** Non-residents who drink Brookline 
water in summer wonder how it is kept 
so cold. ‘hey cannot understand why 
it should be so refreshing at times when 
water in other cities and towns is warm. 
The secret of Brookline’s water is that 
it never sees daylight until it runs out of 
the faucet. 
“Tn 1873 the town voted $400,000 
for water works. [The water now dis- 
tributed through Brookline for household 
ures has the advantage of being taken 
from subterranean sources of remarkable 
purity, at a temperature of about 50 
degrees. 
oe ° 
Algae forms in water, however 
pure, thus taken from the ground, if the 
water be left in storage reservoirs ex- 
posed to light. Brookline first 
intro- — 
duced to its high service system a c v- 
ered receiving tank upon a hill, with the 
result that algae did not form there. A 
covered reservoir of large dimensions 
was then built for general use, and the 
effect upon the water has been all that~ 
was promised, for now every household — 
gets water as pure and al nost as cool as — 
when taken from the underground gravel 
deposits six miles away on the shores of 
the Charles river. 
‘* Brookline’s water is not ‘actually 
taken form the Charles river, but fron 
about 170 driven wells situated on the 
>anks of the upper reaches of the stream. 
‘These tap the springs which supply the 
river, so in this sense the water comes 
from the river. From the wells, the 
water is pumped direct to the covered 
reservoir on Fishers’s Hill.’’
