ALBuQUERQUE'S POOR WATER SUPPLY.
II May Account for the Cases Of Typhoid Fever, 0ph
therIa, Etc., Reported In Recent Years.

A special committee appointed by the
city council OF Albuquerque has investi
gated the Duke Citys water supply, and
in lengthy report practically condemns
it. Among other things, the committee,
which consisted of Aldermen A. B. Nc
Millen, FRANK Mckee and H. Z. Rogers,
says:
"Our conclusion is that ditch so 10.
Gated as the one above described must
necessarily draw the surface water from
the whole tract above described, includ-
ing that portion upon which the wool
securing mills are located, and that the
filthy water which seeps into the ground
about the wool securing mills must even
tually find its way into our city water,
and we therefore conclude that the sur
face water not only enters into our water
supply but that it is impregpated in the
manner above mentioned and also from
the dry dirt above referred to that finds
its way into the ditch and well No. I, as
above explained.
sin the second place the water is fur
ther contaminated by the large amount
of timber used in walling the ditch and
which for portion of the "a hours Is
completely saturated with water and for
another portion the water is withdrawn
by pumping and the wood goes through
the process of decay.
"Aside from the question OF the health
fulness of the water, the surroundings
of the water plant are not calculated to
mako one relish the water. As the plant
Is now located and from the existing
state of affairs conditions might be i'm
proved, but we are doubtful II 1T would
be possible to have pure water taken
from the present location.
''We wish to say further that the res
ervoir situated east Of the University
and from which we draw a portion Of
our water supply, is not sufficiently pro-
tected nor is there any means of ade-
quately cleaning the reservoir"
