NO SOFT WATER.
Analysis of Water from Jones'
Well Not Encouraging.

As result of the complaint of the
city water being so hard, and report
that soft water could be obtained from
shallower wells on the river fiat, Ed.
Sherven. the waterworks superinten-
dent sent samples from the city we'll
and from the shallower Jones we'll to
the university for analysis. The
water from the Jones we'll is not as
hard as that from the city we'll, but
both are comparatively hard waters.

City Well Jones Wei
Parts per million

AS you will see from the above an.
alyses, the City water is harder than
the Jones we'll. Both, however. are
comparatively hard waters. The City
water contains more free ammonia
than the Jones well-but in both cases
the quantity is comparatively low.
Albuminoid ammonia is low in both
cases but not enough to make any
material difference. The traces of
nitrites in the Jones we'll would per-
haps. under certain conditions, make
the water appear suspicious. am
unable to account for the trace of
pitrites. as they usually indicate
some source of contamination. The
low amount of albuminoid ammonia
would on the contrary. indicate that
the water is not contented- - at least
to any extent. am also unable to ac-
count for the difference in chlorine.
An unusully large amount of chlorine
in the water frequently indicates con-
tamination- usually from sewage.
Not knowing the conditions under
which these waters exist. sm unable
to draw conclusions as to the amount
of chlorine. If you will give me
data concerning these two wells. !
think perhaps / can diagnose the case
exactly.
l beg pardon for not sending this
report earlier. My work is excep-
tionally heavy, and have little time
for analyses of this kind.
Yours very truly.
Geo. B. Frankforter.
The matter was discussed at the
council meeting on Tuesday evening.
but the only conclusion which seemed
possibly is that there is no soft water
to be obtained on the river fat with
out taking it directly from the river.
The council also received PROPOSE
tion from the Otter Tail Power Com
pany to pump the city water for a
year at a fat rate of $175 per month.
This will effect saving of something

pay for the new motcr-driven pump
it will be necessary to install. The
present pumps and engines will be
overhauIed but left where they are as
an auxiliary plant. Consumption OF
water has increased very much during
the past few years and much power
is now wasted in forcing the water
thru the six-inch main to the tank.
This main should be taken up anc
replaced with an eight or ten inch
main, because when demands fol
water are heavy it takes nearly twice
the power to force the water thru thu
main as it would if the main were
larger.
R. Tschudi appeared before th
council. and complained that refuse
was dumped over several acres instea
of in the old gravel pit designated as
city dumping ground. He wante'
$50 for the use of the ground for an
other year and also wanted the city t
clean up the refuse which had beer
dumped on his land. No ag.eemen
was reached and the matter went owe
for a week.
