DR.. ROBIN SAYS SPRING
WATER IS EXCELLENT
Fears That Typhoid Germs
From Infected House Will
Contaminate Supply

A morning newspaper today publish
es an article saying that Dr. A. Robin,
the bacteriologist of the Water Depart
ment. made a startling discovery yes
terday. The article continued that DR..
Robin had examined the water at the
spring at Fourth and Franklin streets
and found that it contained typhoid
germs. He then learned that a case Of
the dreaded typhoid fever existed in a
house which was connected with the
spring.
The article as published in the news
paper in question leaves the impression
that the case discovered in the vicinity
of the spring was the direct outcome
of the use of the water by the sick
person, but this is not the case. Dr..
Robin said to a reporter for The Even
ing Journal this morning that the water
of the spring is just as pure as it was
at the time he analyzed it month
or two ago. When he learned that a
case of typhoid fever occurred in a
house which is connected with the
spring he cautioned its use, fearing
that typhoid germs from the infected
house might find their way into the
water. For that reason he advises the
residents in the vicinity of Fourth and
Franklin streets not to use the water,
at least for the present.
