Typhoid fever deaths in New York
State numbered 1854 during 1905,
according to the report of DR.. Eugene
H. Porter, State Commissioner Of
Health. Dr.. Porter says that it is
no exaggeration to attribute almost
every one of these deaths to infected
water. While there may be some
doubts as to this statement, unques.
tionably many of the deaths were so
caused, and there is no doubht that
his recommendations for a better
sanitary control of the potable water
of the State should be needed. He
recommends legislation providing
that all plans for public water sup.
