WATER TESTED
BY STATE And
IS HELD Pure


Reports received by Commission
er John. Murrin from the Illinois
state water survey division OF the
department OF education and regis
tration, state that an analysis OF
samples Of the city water OF Rock
Island showed the water to be pure
and absolutely all right for drink
ing purposes.
In his reports on the analysis OF
the city water of Rock Island, M. c.
Perry. state bacteriologist says:
"The supply as represented by
this sample IL Satisfactory Tor
drinking purposes and conforms to
the archaeological standards OF the
United State treasury department
for drinking water to be used on
interstate carriers"
Because of the muddy color Of
the city water during the last few
weeks, many residents Of Rock Is
land have become alarmed and as
a consequence the mayor and COM
nissiOner's Offices have been flooded
with phone calls and complaints.
It is explained by Commissioner
Murrin, who is head Of the water
works, that the color Of the water
is due to the fact that the city has
been unable to secure alum, which
is used in clearing the water. How
ever, the water is perfectly pure, as
the water works is well supplied
and has been, with the chemicals
needed In purifying water. It has
simply been unable to secure
sufficient amount Of alum to make
| it as clear as usual.
