REPORT.
The new well shows that the water is extremely pure from a bacteriological point of view. Fœcal organ
are only present in 20 cc. of the water ; those that have been isolated suggest that the pollution may have
from dust.
The same remarks apply to the old well except that it contains fewer fœcal organisms. These are p
in 50 cc.
Chemically both these waters are extremely bad. They contain over 200 parts per 100,000 of solids;
total hardness in the case of the old well is 75 and 80 in that of the new magnesium salts forming 45 and
respectively of these amount. Chlorine is nearly up to 50 parts per 100,000, the ammoniacal nitrogen are
the nitric nitrogen figure is high, being 1.3 parts per 100,000. These saline substances which are present in
in large amounts probably are the result of disintegrating rocks. The quantities however are so great as to
dyspepsia possible in some prisoners.

REPORT
Kitchen Well.—The sample shows total colonies over 3,000 per cc. Fœcal organisms are present in.01
The organisms present show a large number of different varieties and cannot be looked upon as free from
suspicion of surface contamination.
Chemically the water contains 141.6 parts total salts, 70° hardness, 25 temporary and 45 permanent,l1
chlorine, 5.7 parts of nitric nitrogen; ammoniacal nitrogen • 044, and albuminoid nitrogen • 005. These figu
show that the water is simply loaded with undesirable mineral salts. Forty-five parts of magnesium and
parts of nitric nitrogen are capable of starting diarrhoea in consumers unaccustomed to the water. The
of this well can only be described as bad both chemically and bacteriologically.
The Hospital Well. —The sample shows foecal bacilli in 1 cc. The total colonies are 1,890 per cc.
organisms present are not so suggestive of recent and dangerous pollution as that of the former well.
Chemically the water is still very hard 47°, 22 of which are permanent ; chlorine figure is 8.875,nitric
nitrogen 1.9. These saline contents are still very much more than is desirable in drinking-water.
It is not maintained that the saline contents in either wells are directly connected. with organic co
nta
nation, probably they arise from disintegration of rocks but the quantities present in both cases are sufficient
to condemn the water..

REPORT.
The sample taken from the tap connected with the service reservoir shows fœcal organisms
in .1 cc. The organisms present are very decidedly objectionable and show recent and dange-
rous contamination.
Chemically the water is a good one. It only contains 18 of hardness. The nitric nitrogen
is rather high, being .75 parts per 100,000.
The sample from well No. 8 shows fœcal organisms in .01 cc., the organisms being not
very objectionable in character.
Chemically the water is but very slightly worse than the previous sample.
NOTE.—The Sanitary Commissioner has not inspected this jail, but the similarity of
chemical analysis suggests that sample (1) was derived from well No. 8. If this surmise is
correct, then additional pollution is added to the water after being pumped from it. This
pollution may be in the form of dust or possibly frogs in the service reservoir.

REPORT.
Camp well. —The sample shows very large amount of pollution. Fœcal bacilli are present in .01 cc. The
organisms however are not objectionable in themselves and suggest that the well is running low.
Chemically the water is not a good one although it contains only about 10 hardness ; the albuminoid nitrogen
and oxygen absorption figures are both excessive.
The sample taken from the protected well.—Fœcal organisms are present in .01 cc. and they should be described
as somewhat suspicious.
Chemically the water is of fair quality. If is twice as hard as the camp well containing 21° of hardness.
Chlorides are excessive in amount 7.8 parts per 100,000 and nitric nitrogen figure is high namely, 575 parts
per 100,000. The analyses. suggest that though pollution has been excessive in amount it is somewhat old
standing.

REPORT.
The sample taken from the well in the jail compound is highly polluted. It contains fœcal organisms in
.01 cc. The organisms themselves are not objectionable but are very numerous.
Chemically the water is a very bad one. It contains 65 of hardness, 48 of which are permanent,
that is to say probably magnesium salt. It also contains 35 parts per 100,000 of chlorine. The ammonia.
figures are low, but nitric nitrogen is as high as 1.25 parts per 100,000. Thus the water is both highly polluted
with organic matter and contains very large quantity of mineral impurities. The water is capable of setting
up dyspeptic trouble unaccustomed to drinking this water.
