been noticed. and the report sums up:
There y NO question but that the nj
ter bed0 are somewhat lat fault"
Odor and taste OF the water has also
peen noticeable to the average con-
sumner; this has been chiefly due to
the ~ OF chlorine for the purpose
OF checking bacterioloEtcal growth in
the water
Under the head. ''%deleterious chem
tcal compounds" 1t Is noted that
there have been no chemical salts
present which r harmful to the
health Of the public"
Constant Attention Needed.
Finally the report says;
although the condition of the eff
fluent is supposed to check upSthe au-
tomato dry food machines. yet q
word might be said as to their opera
ton. Considering, the fact that the
city pressure is but just high enough
at times to operate the dry feed ma
chimes without the agitator, little need
be said Of the agitator except that it
runs: internationally when pressure Is
great enough. It is much better to
have the agitator in action, as its
function is quite important. The dry
feed machines have demanded con
siderable attention, due to clogging
from variou} causes. Much of this is
now obviatdd. but there still is the
necessity of almost constant attention.
This may be due to the fact that the
chemicals r damp. as the building
has not had heat until the last few
days"
Municipal Music.
A report of the citizens band COM
mittee, read at the previous council
meeting. had been endorsed by "a
members Of the Grand Forks Military
band, according to information sub
mitted to the council last night. The
report recommended that an instruc-
tor be engaged to give his time to
training bands n orchestras in the
grade and high schools Of the city, as
we'll as teaching the city band. and
full control over all matters of must
cal organization in the municipal
band. The salary of the instructor is
to be paid one-half by the city coun-
Gil and one-half by the board of edu-
cation, and the amount will be deter
mined by the citizens committee.
The Telephone Situation.
The question Of %effecting physical
connection between the exchanges of
the Trt-State and the Northwestern
Telephone companies was informally
discussed, and the committee, having
charge of the negotiations with the
firms involved, reported that repre-
sentatives of both telephone compan-
les had agreed to confer with men,
bers of the city's telephone franchise
committee within a very short time.
1t is probable that a special meeting
of the council will be called immedi-
| ately after this conference.

Psychological standard.
From a table submitted with the
report 1t is see that the average
number of bacteria per cubic cent?
meter in the raw river water. as de,
termined on % days. was 775; filtered
water, as determined on "a days, 81
361; tap water, as determined on "a
days. 2,342; top of filters, as deter
mined on 8 days, 235. Thus, the re-
port says, it is evident from the aver
ages for the 3O-day period that there
was no bacterial reduction. However.
the reduction of colon bactlt has
been great, and may be taken as an
river water bacteria has taken place.
even though the bacterial count of
the filtered water shows it to be high
er than hat of the raw. Such a con-
dition may be explained by the fact
that the filter beds seeded with
organisms to such an extent that even
though sterile water was poured
through the eff1uent would give a
high count.
The Hardness Test
It is explained by the experts that

both a temporary and a permanent
hardness. and that the greater part is
a temporary hardness. THE report
at this point gives the following IN
formation: -
Temporary hardness is composed
of calcium and magnesium
ates; permanent hardness in this
case is magnesium. For the removal
Of hardness lime is added;
for permanent hardness soda ASH"
The impossibility of attaining an
ideal degree of water in this city Is
admitted. The water. softened. as it
should be, with lime and soda ash at
working temperature, would give an
analysis something like this
Total alkalinity. 40 parts per mil
lion.
Monocarbonate a%lkalinity. 40 parts
per million.
Caustic alkalinity, 0 parts per mill
Alkali alkalinity, 0 parts per mill
Bicarbonate alkalinity, 0 parts per
million. -,
Total hardness, 40 parts pei mill
lion.
This" the report continues, would
be a water treated with just the prop
err amounts of lime and Q d ash.

maintained during practical opera
ton, as there were too many variables.
It is a chemical impossibility to soften
the Grand Forks city water below
1910 parts per million, by the use of
lime and soda ash alone. However.
a water of this %softness is a very soft
, water and will serve in the laundry
and bath almost. If not quite, as well
as rain water.
, THE average hardness of h raw
river water, as determined on Is days,
was 1880 parts per million. that of
tap water, as determined on rs days,
6S.4 parts per million. The require
ment of the contract in respect to
hardness was IS parts per million.
Only one day during the testing pc
riod, September 20, was the hardness
Of the tap water above IS parts per

per million. When it is remembered
that the city water Of Fargo regularly
runs over 100 parts per million hard

tract, Of 9 parts per million, cannot
be regarded seriously.
