NEWARK, Aug. 9. 19O0.-Dr. Richard N.
Connolly, bacterioIogist of the Board of
Health, in an official report upon the con-
dition of the Pequannock water submitted
Tuesday night, declared that there are in
dications of an increased Contamination Of
the water. The experts statements fol-
low:
Samples of water from the Pequannock
system were examined on July 20, and the
results are given in the following table
1t will be noticed that the bacterial con-
tents of the samples taken from places
within the city limits are not abnormally
high, yet the presence of colon bacilli in
increased numbers in the city tap water
indicates increased contamination. An ex-
tended search for typhoid baciln has thus
far failed to show any present:
No bacteria

Herbert B. Baldwin, the boards chem
ist, also had something to say about the
Pequannock water. His reference to the
subject. in the form of a report. was as
follows
"a sample of the city water taken from
the laboratory faucet on July 21 was found
to have a deeper color than that of the
previous month and to contain a lfttle
more organic matter and nitrates. There
is nothing in the analysis, however. to
indicate an unusually bad condition. Since
this sample was taken the appearance
of the water has become worse but no
analysis has been made"
The reports were ordered filed without
comment.
