WATER SUPPLY IMPURE.
Director Evans of State Laboratory
So Informs Old Town.

ON account of typhoid epidemic rag
ing Ia old Town a prominent citizen of
that city has requested DIR. L. NJ. Mar
qu.s to have samples of the water
sent to Prot, Henry ID. Evans of the
state Laboratory of Hygiene in Angus
Ia to be analyzed. The water supply,
which comes through the system of the
Bangor Railway & Electric Co, was
found by Prof. Evans after an ANALYSIS,
TO be unsuitable for drinking purposes
unless boiled. Many of the residents
who have been accustomed ever since
the system was established to use the
water for drinking purposes think
that as they have never suffered any
i'll effects, that the water is still suit
able to drink.
The following is an abstract from the
letter written by Prof. Evans To DR.. +,
NJ. Marquis of Old Town, after an
ANALYSIS of the water:
The analysis of the sample from
the public supply shows that the wa
ter is not safe for drinking purposes
III its present condition. Intestinal bac-
terra OF the p. coli group were found
in as little as 1-30 of an ounce of the
water. 1t is evident that only the alb
sence Of typhoid bacilli in the sewage
wastes, entering the river at points
above your intake, prevents this wa
ter from being a means OF spreading
OF this disease. Such n water cannot
be considered safe to use for drinking
purposes unless it be first boiled, and
notice to this effect should be given
vide publicity
