This.

Pura water is being served the city
or hepKuk by the Keskuk Water
Works coInpany. This was determined
by the state chemist at Iowa City in
a report submitted to Mayor Moorilead
yesterday. Samples of the water being
served the city were sent to the Iowa
state chemist and the analysis showed
that there was no presence of gas
forming bacteria. which means that
there is No sewage in the water; and
no disease germs.
additional tests OF the water viii
be made at different times In ORDER to
make sure that the quality Of the wat.
or Is being maintained. A test will be
made within a few days. and. other
tests will be made whenever it is be-
lieved necessary.
1t is gratifying TO learn that the
water condition has been cleared up
and that pure water is being given the
city. An earlier analysis showed the
presencs OF sewage germs, but this
has been eliminated. according to the
analysis from the state chemist
Following the demand made by May
or Mouralead for safe water. the water
company sent an expert here from st.
Louis to- see what could be. done in
the way Of assuring pure water for the
city.
The city WAS prepared to take
steps to secure pure water had the
report showed that there were inpur.
