That Bismarck has an unlimited
supply of pure water, which is ont
Of the greatest assets to the city *
far as its future development Is con
cerned, is demonstrated by DR.. F. r
Smyth, who submitted the following
communication to the board of city
commissioners:
The Hon. President and Members Of
the Board of City Commissioners
Bismarck, N. D.
Gentlemen:-
l have received, from the city aud
itor, a newspaper clipping Of cores
pondence between myself and U. 8
Senator Gronna and also letter from
Ca2t. I. i. Baker to President vii
liams calling his attention to thii
correspondence. The city auditor re
quests a report from me concerning
the matter.
The correspondence, as Capt. Bak
er says. is "self-explanatory" and re-
lates to the pollution Of the Missouri
river with sewage from the Indian
school and Fort Lincoln. It was in.
tended on my part, to interest the
senator In the Owen bill for q federal
health department.
As the pollution OF q river with
sewage is q menace to the health Of
all who may have occasion to use
the water, Capt. Baker is entitled to
much credit for drawing attention to
the condition, az only by publicity
can such evils be remedied.
It has been suggested, however,
that the statement that the Missouri
river is polluted with sewage might
lead to the conclusion that the wat.
er supply of Bismarck, which is oh.
tanned from that source must be pol.
luted and unsafe to use.f This IL not
the case as the intake Of the water
supply pipe is situated above all the
sewers that discharge into the river.
The nearest sewer outlet is from the
Indian school and that 10 1884 feet
below the intake and at . part Of the
river where the swiftness Of current
and volume Of water preclude any
of back current. The
Commissioner of Indian Affairs, how.
ever, recognising that the discharg-
ing Of crude sewage into . river 10
IN insanitary method Of disposing OF
Il, has agreed to install septic tank
ut the school.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1912-02-27

The outlet of the city sewer Is still
further down the river and the Fort
Lincoln sewer discharges into Apple
Greek, an affluent Of the Missouri,
miles below the city.
It is proper to say that the sewage
from the city Is not now discharged
into the river but is used for broad
irrigation, on a flat west Of the city.
This is a great improvement over
discharging it into the river and, II
properly handled so as to be taken
up by the soil and allowed to accum-
ulate in pools, will be In no way Of
fensive but an enricher Of the soil.
That the city water is free from
sewage pollution is amply shown by
the chemical analysis, made by Ma.
jor c. r. Darnall, Of the U. s. Army
Medical school, Washington, D. c.,
Of q sample taken from the pipes at
Fort Lincoln, on January ~, 1912.
In the report of this analysis, copy
of which is enclosed, Major Darnall
says: 'There is nothing to indicate
pollution"
Major F. F. Russell, Of the same
institution, after a psychological ex-
animation Of q sample taken at the
same time, says: There IL no EVIL
dence Of dangerous contamination in
the sample and the water may safely
be used without boiling"
TO those who know OF the high
standard Of purity required by the
army authorities for water supplied
to troops at military stations this will
be sufficient evidence Of the purity of
our water supply.
The state public health laboratory
also makes frequent meteorological
of the city water And
the people would at once be warned
to boil the water II not considered
safe for use.
The President Of the Bismarck
Water Supply company has Informed
the writer that his company viii Join
with the city health department In
every effort to protect the source Of
supply from contamination, and the
company has given every facility for
Of pumping station, res
ervoirs and all other parts Of the
plant.
The number Of cases Of typhoid f.
yer in a community Is usually consid.
ered a reliable index Of the condition

from typhoid fever in the city and
only five cases Of the disease report

disease, only one was using city wat

from wells.
In conclusion I will say that our
water supply is pure, unpolluted and

federal health officers. 1t is only by
constant vigilance that pollution OF

and it would be we'll for your honor.
