Causes of Pollution.

AS possible sources OF pollution of this

that prvics OF houses on Canaan street,
are quite near the walls Of the main
distributing reservoir. ana that there Is II
possibility that sccpagc may take place
from them into the reservoir Further
more, open reservoirs OF the type of res
orroir No. 1 on the hill, being fed by
streams from farm lands. run the risk
of becoming polluted, both from manure
spread on tho surface. ana from streams
which drain farm yards, pig pens and
often prives. The fact that the people
on the western side who Use Crystal lake
water almost entirely are free from the
fever affords ground FOR excluding that
water as a possible factor in causing the
epidemic.
