Warning Against Drink
ing Unboiled Water.
GERMS ARE CONDENSED
} en- Filtration Does Not.
Remove All the
Danger.

During the months of July and Au-
gust there is more peril from typhoid
fever germs in drinking water than at
any other season of the year, said
Health Oficer Woodward TO a Times
reporter yesterday.
This fact" he explained, arises from
the small supply of water which washes
the hot land during the summer. In
July and August. as a rule, the rainfall
IS, comparatively speaking, small, and
yet this slight volume Of water has TO
carry OF from the earth as much drain
age and impurity as when the frequent
rains fall in the winter and spring
Boil Your Drinking Water.
THE result is that the germs and i'm
purities carried of are condensed within
a smaller portion Of water than is the
case in winter. That is, one mouthful
OF water now may put into the human
system two or three times as many
germs as in winter. For this reason the
summer water, although as rule clean
er than winter water, IS more danger
Gus.
when yor ask for means of killing
thc germs I would advise always the
boiling Of water Fiitering is effective
but not altogether absolute IN destroy

way you are absolutely safe from dis

THE SIDEWALK QUESTION.

The new city ordinance regu.
lating sidewalks will be put into
practical operation in the near
future. Old wooden walks will
have to give way and all repair
work Will have TO be of perma
nent character, done in concrete,
under the supervision of the city
engineer.
In an interview with Mayor
Jules L, Dupuy we gathered the
following facts. The discussion
cam up by property holder
about as follows:
Concrete work. ) feet wide
by 20 feet long, at $40 per
yd. 500
20 feet of curbing at soc 35
Total cost s1O1
The property holder will be re-
quired to pay 90 per cent of this
cost upon the completion of the
work and the balance will be di.
vided into five equal annual pay
mcnts bearing per cent interest.
Thus we would have the follow
ing payments.
20 per cent cash payment.... 5000
lst Annual payment. ... 1915
Interest on that note. .... 81
2nd Annual payment. 16.l
Interest for years. .......... 1874
3rd Annual payment. ....... Is l6
Interest for3 years. ...... 2.90
18th Annual payment .... 1915
Four years interest .. 1888
5th Annual payment 1916
Interest on same. ..... -. 4.S5
Total cost in years $l1555
BY this method of arranging the
payments it is hoped to remove
the burdensOme effects of ac-
quiring for the city in the course
of time a good system of concrete
walks BY a small saving each
month the property holder can
prepare to meet this additional
expense above taxes and insur
ance.
When the city authorities let
out the contracts for this work
they should use due diligence
and demand such guarantees from
the contractor as to prevent the
property holder having topay for
a piece of work of the character
laid in front of the property of
Mr.. Max Mates, on West Main
street. One experience of that
kind is enough to put all parties
thoroughly on their guard.
