DENIES PUBLISHED REPORTS.

Repeated attempts have been made
by the morning paper to make it APP
pear that the water supplied to Boise
was so seriously contaminated that it
should be boiled 20 minutes before
using. DR.. Biwer has maintained that
II was not necessary to boil the water
and that the contamination found was
not serious. Desiring to protect the
public at all times the secretary of the
board of health had a number OF sam
pies OF water taken from all parts Of
The system. These were placed with
he state bacteriologist and the most
careful examination and tests made
The net result of all of the tests show
only slight contamination from ons
OF the wells and in one reservoir. All
other wells. or II, together with the
other reservoirs are found to be above
any possible suspicion.

NEVER BADLY CONTAMINATED.

The statement of DIR. Biwer as to
his finding is sweeping. He not only
declares that the extended series of
tests made in the past few months
show only slight trace Of contamina-
ton but that records of tests made
during the past two years have not
shown serious contamination at any
time. This statement should clear up
the water situation in Boise, it is
.aimcd
DIR. Biwer said that all sources Of
water supply of the Boise Artesian Hot
n Cold Water company were tested,
including the mains. pump well. arte-
sian wells and reservoirs. There are
II wells in all. All but one of them
are artesian wells. The exception is
