THE CITY WATER SUPPLY
Physicians INDORSE THE AR
TESIAN WE'LL SYSTEM.

ArtesIan Water Purer than River Water
Can be Made by Filtration - Clear
Water Not Always Pure-AdVantag"s
Of the Artesian System-What Promi-
nent Physicians say About 1t.
ora dozen prominent physicians whose
opinions have been asked on the subject,
all, without single exception, are high
ly in favor Of adopting measures at once
by which the whole city can be supplied
with artesian water.
alt is impossible, :" said one, VINO has
given the matter considerable study and
attention, ITO make the Savannah river
water as pure as the artesian water, no
matter how much it be filtered. II prop
~ filtered the river water does become
greatly improved, but no amount OF filter
ing can remove all the impurities.
No matter how pure and clear the water
may seem to the eve the impurities are
still In it, and the finest filters made can
not entirely remove them.
"TO all appearances" he went on to
cay. 1.-THE water that comes from the wells
aud pumps Is as pure as any one need
wish, and yet it contains more impurities
than the river water. These wells are on
an average not more than 30 feet deep,
and are sunk to this depth through moth
ing but common yellow sand. 1t ia seen
from this how easy it ID for the impurities
on the surface to work their way through
this strata OF sand until they reach the
streams which supply the wells"
There is no doubt as TO the purity of the
artesian water, especially since the re-
cent analysis 10 which il has been sub
] cted, but even without an analysis its
source and the depth from which it comes
are sufficient proof of its purity. The
following gives good Idea OF the
strata passed through in boring an arte-
sian well here:
