Mr.. C. A. Snow, principal of the Stock

of our town water to the director of the
State Dept. of Health, Augusta. receiv-
ing the following letter in reply, which is
posted in the post office:
State Dept. of Health, Augusta.
FeD. 4, l9lo.
Mr.. C. A. Snow:
Dear Sir: am enclosing the results of
the analysis of the sample of water from
your public water supply sent to me Jan.
29th.
The analysis shows the water to be in
safe and satisfactory condition for drink
ing and all domestic purposes. There is
no chemical or meteorological evidence
of contact of the water with sewage
wastes of any kind, or with polluted sur
face drainage.
Like all surface waters, this one con-
tains some dissolved organic material of
vegetable origin, which gives to it its
slight color. To this is also due the odor
of the heated sample. AS long as the or
ganic contents of the water is of vege-
table and not animal origin, it will not af-
feet the healthfulness of the water in any
way. From the data of the anal sis
should regard this water as normal sur
face water, at this season of the year,
and as a first-class drinking water.
Very Truly Yours,
w. D. Evans, Director.
