water in the upper part of town, or the
longest distance from the pumping house,
would show the least impurities, and
therefore the test applied by Dr. Cowden
does not really show as bad state of wa
ter as exists on the average. Other tests
will soon be made and the public will be
fully informed of the result. The best
way for the people to do, at present, is to
