Excerpt from Report of Hearing Before the Committee on Woman Suffrage: January 28, 1896
Your memorialists respectfully submit that the northwest branch of the Potomac and Sligo Creek, run through Montgomery County, Md., at less than one half of the distance from this city than the present source of supply at the Great Falls of the Potomac. The source of the northwest branch of the Potomac is the thousand of springs in the neighborhood of Sandy Springs, Md. It is a pure water, and has always been, as the numerous analyses have abundantly shown. The same can be said of the Sli go Branch, the supply of which is about one-fourth as large as the northwest branch. Both of these supplies are so located that they are specially free from pollution in any form; neither are they likely to be polluted in the future.
