In order that the salient features
Of the report of Norton, Bird and
Whitman, through Mai. Ezra b. Whit
man. water engineer employed by
Mayor Levy to inspect the Annapolis
water plant. may be presented to the
public, those sections OF the compre-
hensiye report will be published in
the Evening Capital, the first section
setting forth the Engineers conclus-
ions having been given in yesterdays
issue
The section presented today deals
with matter of immediate concern.
namely. the Condition of Present
Water Supply" In it appears still
further emphasis of the point that
publication of our water supply is of
first importance. Later on in his re-
port Major Whitman refers to a I'll
tration plant as being necessary" for
this purpose. This is the same con-
clusion reached several years ago by
other experts employed at the in
stance of the then officials of the
Water Company and strongly urged
ever since by President George T.
Melvin of the Company and other ad-
vOcates OF this Improvement.
Those familiar with the situation
are pointing ont now that II these re-
concentrations had not been block
ed and tied up in aimless contro-
yersy, the whole construction would
have been completed several years
ago and within the boands Of avail
able finances also that in the mean
time, the consumers Of water here
would have been spared the expert
ence of having to put up with almost
intolerable water.

to is as follows! 2hi nohsnimf

analyses. The following tables
give the results OF analyses made
by Mr.. c. Glaser, a Baltimore
chemist, now dead, whose labora-.

The older tests made by Mr..
Chaser from 1904 to 1911. we're
made before the present methods
of determining the presence of
colon bacillus were originated.
and many waters which were for
merly regarded as safe" when
tested by the older methods, are
now considered suspicious"
when tested by the latest
methods.
The one test that is universal
ly regarded as determining whe-
ther a water supply Is safe or not
is the test for colon bacillus. This
bacillus of itself is not dangerous,
but it lives only in the intestines
of human beings and animals and
If it is present il clearly Indicates
that intestinal pollution of the
water is taking place. Such pol
luton may occur for years with
out causing sickness, as intestinal
pollution is not harmful unless
the person from whom the pollu-
ton comes is diseased. But
should a person suffering with
typhoid fever cause the pollu-
ton, a serious typhoid epidemic
might be the result. It is almost
impossible to isolate the typhoid
bacillus in a water supply, Dut II
the colon bacillus is present,
then it is entirely possible that
the typhoid bacillus may also be
present in the water.
A serious typhoid epidemic at
Rockville, Md, was traced direct
ly to the water supply Of the
town. For years the town had
taken its supply from one source,
and suddenly a serious typhoid
epidemic developed. 1t was found
that there had been previous
case of typhoid in the town and
that the exereta from this ty-
phoid patient had been thrown in
a little stream that flowed past
the pumping station OF the water
supply. Tests showed that the
