SOURCES or SUPPLY.

Two OF Ottawa's principal supplies
OF water have been pronounced safe
for drinking purposes by the state
water survey division Of the Depart.
ment of Registration and Education
at the University OF Illinois, according
no report on analysis received by
City Health Commissioner DR.. w A.
Pike.
Three samples OF water, one from
the pumping station, one from the
stand pipe and one from west side
tap were forwarded to the university
for testing. Reports on all three
show them to be entirely rid OF any
foreign matter which would jeopar.
dize the health OF any of it's users.
One sample of the Cation well. which
supplies a large number OF residents
in South Ottawa, was also sent down
TO undergo test, with the result the
chemist, w D. Hatfield. found and re-
ports "The analysis shows that the
water is receiving some surface pollu.
ton, as indicated by the high elating
count. The confirmed test for gas
formers is 10 &C quantity indicates the
possibility OF surface pollution but
since there was no gas formers in the
&C and the Il &C we would consider
the water safe for drinking purposes. !"
In his report on the city water Mr..
Hatfield says "The analysis of this
water shows that it is in good sanitary
condition and would be safe for drink
ing purposes.

We were mistaken in our an

ferry would be i'll service from
Seattle to the Heights this fall.
Commissioner Smith tells us that
the budget will be made up on the
18th of the present month. but
will not be published until Sep
tember |. The appropriation for
operating the ferry will be in the
budget. Unless the government
interferes, the ferry Washing
tom will be used as the boat to
operate between Kitsap county
and Seattle, The appropriation
cannot be used before the first of
the year, thereby making it i'm
possible to begin the service EARL
er than next March or April. IS
