President Purdy Comes to h. Vestigate Purity of Water
 ..4.
TWO ENGINEERS ARE COMING
Will Make a Thorough Examination Into Conditions and Consider the Question of Putting
 In Filtration Plant.

Mir. J. H. Purdy, president of the Bir- panied by MT. A. M. Lynn, reached the city last night from Pittsburg. MT. Purdy comes to look into the water situation and determine what is to be done. When seen at the TIillman last night he said:
 "I am here to investigate the matter fully, and MT. George II. Benzefberg of Milwaukee and MT. G. w. Fuller of New York eminent hydraulic and sanitary en- gineers, will arrive Thursday morning to assist in the investigation"
 MT. Purdy's visit to Birmingham is un- derstood to mean that the Water Works Company intends to make a thorough ex- animation into the question of the sani- tary condition of the water, and if it is found to be impure or contaminated that they will take whatever steps are neces- sary to make it pure. MT. Purdy and Mir Lynn will be here some time and MT. Benzenbery and MT. Fuller are thorough ly competent to make an analysis of the water and they will proceed to make such analysis and also an investigation of the watershed of the sources of supply on their arrival.
 MT. Purdy. who is also treasurer of the American Water Works and Guarantee Company, which owns the Birmingham Water Works Company, has been in the city a number of times and is thoroughly familiar with the conditions surrounding the question of pure water supply
 Mayor Drennen, who has been in Mon gomery attending meeting of the execu- tive committee of the good roads conven- ton, will be in the city today and will probably discuss the matter with MT. Purdy and other officials of the company.
 The question of pure water supply came up on the report of Special Expert Samuel L. Gray who was employed by the Jefferson County sanitary commits sion to make an examination Into the water supply and who reported that the water was in bad condition, the sources liable to contamination and recommended that the water be filtered before being used for domestic purposes. This report was followed by the adoption of a resolu- tion by the Mayor and Board of Alder men, introduced by Alderman Gray, call ing on the Birmingham Water Works Company to begin work on a filtration plant within 30 days and authorizing the city attorney to file suit and take such legal action in the event of the com pany's refusal as would put in force the ordinance It is in response to this mat ter that the officials of the Water Works Company are here.
 Since the passage of the Gray resolu- ton a suit has been filed in the City Court asking that the charter of the com pany be revoked on the ground that they have misused their franchise In not fur nishing a pure supply of water to the city. No answer has been made to this suit by the company and under the judges order they have until May to file an answer.
 While the company makes no positive statement that it intends to put in a filtration plant 1t is understood it will do this if necessary
