POLLUTION OF THE RIVER
Recent Investigation by DrS. RuS6leS and
Laine.
What These State Board Of Health
officials Have to Say Of Our
Water Supply.

Recently the State Board Of Health
appointed its President, DR.. Ruggles,
and the Secretary, DR.. Laine, a commit
tee to investigate and report on the
matter of the pollution of the Sacra-
mento River and the effects thereof on
the water used for domestic purposes
by the people of this city. These gen.
tlemen have completed the task as
signed them, and have prepared the fol-
lowing report to the State board:
Briefly stated, they do not IND SO
much objection to the sewage from up
the-valley towns as to that from Fol-
som and the State Prison, together
with the pollution that comes from the
tule basins and hog pastures contigu-
Gus to the river-that is to say, under
ordinary or normal conditions. But II
typhoid fever or cholera were to pre-
vail in any Of the towns whose sewage
reaches the river, great danger to the
people of Sacramento would surely fol-
low from the use of the water.
The fact that the people of Redding,
Red Bluff, Chico and Marysville use
deep-well water makes them compara-
lively safe from typhoid fever, which
explains why Sacramento has thus far
escaped serious epidemics of that ma
ture. The report says:
To the State Board of Hea1th-Gen-
tlemen: Your committee on March 9th
Investigated the matter of river pollu-
ton by sewage at Redding. BY per-
sonal inspection it was ascertained
that the sewage is carried out of the
town by a twelve-inch pipe, when it
falls into an open ditch running a quar-
ter of a mile to a farm of sterile land
where it is used for irrigation and fer
tilization. In season Of high water the
sewage must necessarily find it's way
into the streams. The disposition Of the
Redding sewage is so far satisfactory
