HOLDS WATER SAFE
Analytical Report on Sample From
Fifth Avenue WeIl-Commis-
sioner Sees Danger.

Health Commissioner G. G. Craig,
Jr, has received from Robert w.
Stark, assistant chemist at the Uni
versity of Illinois, report on sam
pie of water taken from the well at
Eighteenth street and Fifth avenue, to
which several cases of typhoid fever
have been traced during the summer
and fall, resulting in the commission.
Ell closing the well.
The report of the chemist is: This
water appears to be in perfectly sat
isfactory condition. The high oxygen
consumed and the large amount of
free and albuminoid ammonia would
be unfavorable indications if this wat.
er was from an ordinary shallow dug
well. Such conditions, however. are
frequently found in water from deep
wells. Moreover, the small chlorine
content indicates the absence from
contamination by surface water. In
so far as a sanitary chemical analysis
would indicate this is perfectly safe
and wholesome water
Despite the favorable findings of the
chemical examination, Commissioner
Craig is disinclined to believe that
there is no danger in the consumption
of the water from the well, and fOl
the time being he will not permit OF
its use.
