REPORTS ON WATER SAMPLES.
State Laboratory Reports to DR.. Tucker
Favorably on One and Say the Other
is Polluted.

Reports were received Tuesday by DR..
Henry Tucker, from the state laboratory
of hygiene at Burlington, concerning
two samples of water from the Brattle-
boro Water Works supply, one of which
he took at his Office and the other at
his house on Grove street. The sample
from the Office is found to be all right,
but the sample from the house is re-
ported "Present pollution (unsafe for
domestic use).' just why the two
samples should be different is not
known.
In explanation of "Present pollution
(unsafe for domestic use)' the report
says: "Waters are thus described if
they contain industrial wastes or excre-
mcntitious matter from human beings or
animals, which has undergone little FL
tration or oxidation, together with liv-
ing sewage bacteria.'
The report of impure water came coin
cident with report to G. b. Crowcll
that fence near the Pleasant Valley
reservoir was down, which would allow
cattle to get in brook feeding the res
ervoir, and Mr.. Crowell said he had ar
ranged to have repairs to the fence
made Tuesday.
This foreign substance in the water
would not affect the taste or be other
wise detected by consumers here and in
Dr. Tucker s opinion it has no conncc-
ton with the vegetable taste and odor
that have been observed recently.
