CITY
DADS FOR
APPROVAL.
Smalley Favors Health De
partment Plan for Chlor-
inc Treatment = Works
Board Aids = Sewage in
Drinking Water.

Laboratory tests showing that the city
water is more or less contaminated at
all times with sewage bacteria and
constant menace to health, Mayor John
Smalley of Hammond today announced
that bids on a chlorine treatment plant
viii be sought by the board of public
works at his earnest solicitation. The
city council viii be urged to make the
necessary appropriation.
At a cost of less than two thousand
dollars for installation and a thousand
dollars a year for maintenance, the city
can render all drinking water free from
disease by use of liquid chlorine
Mayor Smalley has had the improve
ment under consideration for some time
At his request the department of health
made an exhaustive investigation Of the
various methods of water publication
and recommended the chlorine as both
the best and the least expensive.
In written report to Mayor Smalley,
City Chemist Earl f. Burdick states
that it is imperative for the city to take
some decided step in the direction OF
water purifcation.
The Hammond intake is one mile from
sore where the lake is thirty feet deep
There is a sewer outlet one and a fourth
mile from the intake and the sewage is
carried by convection currents or sue
ton to Hammonds intake during calm
weather and whipped across it during
stormy days.
The city chemist found the presence
of B-Coli in the water, which indicates
that any Of the pathogenic bacteria
which cause intestinal troubles might be
present. Such diseases as typhoid. dys-
entery and enterits might result from
the drinking water.
Water showing sewage contamination
is a violation of the state law Mayor
Smalley is ready to safeguard the health
of the people of the city by the method
which the health department recon-
mends. Water samples taken by the
city chemist from Feb. IS to Nov. 22 Of
last year show contamination by sew
age in forty cases. The liquid
chlorine method is being used in 500
cities, including New York and Chicago,
and is giving satisfaction. 1t is pro
posed to feed the chlorine directly into
the suction mains. The city chemist
states the treatment Will leave no for
eign taste or odor in the water

the world was there but despair
Black" said the bridegroom, sis
the ideal color for weddings. As

more. And black is cheaper and
more serviceab1e than any other
color"
The couple departed on the Black
Diamond express for a honeymoon
tour through the principal cities of
the west. They said they would give
those places chance to look them
over.
