SHOULD CONDEMN
OLD MOREY WE'LL
State Board of Health is of the opin-
ion That the Drinking Place
Should go.

The Morey well in West Keokuk
should be condemned, in the opinion
of the state board of health, which
has made an analysis of the water
sent to its analytical department by
the Keokuk board of health. This
we'll is located on the premises of
Charles E. Morey, who lives in G
street between William and Reid.
The Keokuk board of health is of the
opinion that seventeen cases Of
typhoid fever which developed during
the past summer can be traced to the
well water. The letter from the
board of health follows:
Iowa State Board of Health, Des
Moines, Department of Water
Analysis, Sept. 20, 1911
Thomas P. Gray, Commissioner, Pub
lie Safety, Keokuk, Iowa
Dear Sir AS per your request of
the sixteenth, we are enclosing dupli-
cate copy of the ANALYSIS sent to c. E.
Morey and are also enclosing the
copy of letters which you addressed
us. In regard to the character of the
water, will state that as we reported
in the preliminary report about Aug
ust 5, and in complete form on Aug
ust 81, we indicated at that time that
the water was in bad condition ii
from shallow well and that sewage
was indicated, and requested condi-
tons be sent us. This letter, togeth-
er with report, was sent to G. e. Mo-
rev, August 81, 1911, and from whom
We have received no word regarding
same.
AS can be seen from an examina-
ton, the water Is evidently in bad
condition, and there is no question
but what sewage is gaining access,
and from the surroundings which you
indicate in your letter, this we'll must
be in a vile condition and should be
condemned at once as unfit to use.
There is large amount of micro
scopio life present, an enormous
amount of organic matter present and
very large amount which has under
gone putrifaction, and enormously
high Chords, indicating human sew
age. This water would certainly be a
very dangerous one to use. and as
above stated, should be condemned at
once.

removed 1t might be possible for the
