coal was mined
Mark r. Edgar, secretary of the board,
expressed the opinion that counties pro-
oueng taxable wealth should receive some
benefit from the tax.
:, realize the justice of the claims Of
sle anthracite producing counties and

To Purify Water SUPPLIES,

The hypochlorite Of lime treatment
of water supplies has met a consider.
able degree of success and is being
employed largely throughout the Unit.
ed States and Canada and in other
parts Of the civilized world. In pub
lie health reports February &c, 1915,
H. A. Whitaker. assistant director d.
vision of sanitation Minnesota state
board of health, describes portable en-
Urgency hypochlorite plants construct
ed, in 1910 by the board of health, to
be kept in readiness for immediate
transportation to localities within the
state where water supplies were sus-
pected or known to be contaminated.
The writer states that these plants
have rendered great service, as their
constant readiness and portability
have made it possible to reach prac-
tically any public water supply in tho
state, install a plant and treat the wa
ter within a period of "a hours after
notice has been received by the d.
vision in charge Of the work. lie
further states that the plant and equip.
ment described by him make it pos.
sible for a trained worker to enter the
field equipped to handle in an emer
gency the problems met with in treat
ing a polluted water supply.
