era'.
In his talk DR.. Graves brought ont
the fact that there was but little ty-
phoid fever In this locality despite
the epidemic up at Salida and he
credited the efficiency of the Canon
City filtration water system with pre-
venting a wide spread of the disease.
He said he knew it was doing a great
deal OF good because he could COM
pare the very few number OF cases of
typhoid each summer since the in
stallation OF the system with the
large number before the new system
was utilized.
On this topic Mr.. chetelat said that
the reservoirs. and the whole system.

regard to It
