the facts TO be that owing 70 ssTeral causes
the water flowing through the village OF
kOjoz has for : long time been polluted
and become very impure As result OF
this pollution great inconvenience. ms besn
OCCaSioued and much sickness From
records IN the office OF the Board or Health
We ind that the attention OF the Board OF
Health has been eaLled 10 the dangerous
condition OF the water st holoa and ne
prevalence Of fever and other sickness re
shifting therefrum Samples OF the water
have been anaLyZei ST the instance or the

uurIt1es. Professor Van Slyke, II BIS re-
I mort 10 the Board OF the results OF the an
aIvsis. under date Of May /, ISIS, stated
thar the substances IN the water which
render it injurious for domestic use were

ousIy large

situated IN = central position IN the village
and upou the only stream which supplies

the SAMPLES 0f water which were analyZed
vas taken from the stream above the ulul
and one from below. OF the TEO samples
Professor Van Slyke stated, II his report
that the sample from above the MILL the
/ quantity OF the elements present In II
which we're dangerous TO health were
more than twice sufficient 70 condemn :
water absolutely And the sample from
below the mill he stated was much worse
containing nearly three times as much OF
the elenehts dangerous 70 health than
the water above the mill
From evidence obtained from various
sources II appears that the impurities 10
/ the water above the mill are the result OF
drainage from certain marsh land or the
koIoa plantation, from lands fortified OF
artificial fertilizers and perhaps from Other
causes That the increased impure ciludI
ton OF the water below the mil : caused
BIZ drainage and refuse from the mill
