feel that those inyited here tonight
are not members OF the chamber Of
commerce, you are workers ior the
good of the community.
But want to get closer together,
We want to Encourage greater ar-
tivity. We want to know what IS best
and then do it. There must be no

one means the success of all Failure
with one is failure with all. \ knock

against yourself. A boost makes your
own interests more valuable.
A greater Idaho Springs is a greater
district. it means railroads, public
buildings, increased population, more
business, greater investments and the
county seat.
We can make our fellowman better
and brighter and OF sweeter disposition
by boosting. In attempting to tear
down the other mans structure you
tear down your own. Help the other
fellow who is down to get to his feet.
Some corporations are formed to
consolidate diversified interest. The

CITY Water PURE

REPORT OF EXPERT IS SUBMITTED
BOARD OF AEALrH MAY MAKE OTHER
EXAMINATIONS.

Acting upon the advice Of the city
with the assent of the members of the
ny council, on last Saturday took SAM
pies Of the city water from FIVE differ
ent sources of supply for the purpose OF
having an expert examination made.
These samples were sent to DIR. VIM c.

Health Of the City and County of Denver.
The doctors report was received IN this

ITO the Honorable,
The Mayor and City Council,
Idaho Springs, Colorado.
Gentlemen
The five specimens of water
in sterilized bottles and cases sent in by
you were received in good condition and
submitted to a careful bacteriologicAl
analysis which was completed today. I
have to report as follows:
"Sample No I. no typhoid bacilli; no
colon bacill.; no sewage bacteria.
'Sample No II, no typhoid bacilli; no
colon bacilli, no sewage bacteria.
''Samp'e No III, no typhoid baclllI;
no colon bacllli; no sewage bacteria.
Sample No. ", no typhoid bacilli;
no colon bacllli; 10 sewage bactera
Sample No. V, no typhoid bacili;
no colon baclli, no sewage bacteria.
''In So far this analysis goes it shows
the water to be in good condition, but
think it is only fair to remind you that 1t
Is possible for the typhoid contamIna-
tion to appear intermittently in the
water supply especially in supply
which is OF surface origin. In large
experience with the typhoid epdeinics l
have generalv found the water at fault.
Il the trouble continues l should advise
thorough sanitary inspection of the
water shed, diaries etc, soon as this
is practicable"
Yours very Respectfully.
VIM. c. MITCHELL, M?D.
Sample No I was taken at the service
tap at the home of W. l.. Shaffer, on
Colorado street; Sample No. II, was
n aiken al the service tap in the Ireland
lock, occupied by w. A. Thompson;
ample No. Ill was taken from the head
,te of the city water supply on Soda
<,.ek; Sample No. ~ was from the
.adgate of the Chicago creek
take, and Sample No. V. was
ken at the Normaudeau home in Grass
alley.
While there is naturally considerable
:kness prevailing at this time of the
ar, it is due largely to the protracted
eli of dry weather which is an unusual
ndition The generous SHOWS of the
4 week will tend to make more
althy community.
II this connection it behooves every
zen to see that his or her premises
cared of refuse or rubbish just as
the snow has melted sufficiently.
