HEALTH DEPARTMENT REPORT
ON CONDITION OF CITY WATER
Following are two letters received
from the State Dept. of Health:
July 5, 1921.
DR.. C. H. Douthirt,
County Health Officer,
ClayfOn. N. M

Inc lOloWlnS IS tne report OF the
State Public Health Laboratory on
three samples of water taken on
June q and received at>the Labora-
tory June 80.
On account of the slow delivery
TO the Laboratory the samples were
warm when received and the bac-
terial counts high, on that account.
Sample No. 1. From PericO Reser-
vOir l2OO bacteria per cubic cent?
meter; positive for b. coli in two of
five i0cc. specimens, and two of two
Ice. specimens.
Sample No. 2. From reservoir at
plant. 3iOO bacteria per cubic cent?
meter; positive for B. coli in five
i0cc. specimens, positive in one of
two Ice. specimens.
Sample No. 3. From faucet in Elk
lund Hotel. $500 bacteria per cubic
centimeteg positive for b. coli in
one of five l0cc. specimens; mega
tive in ice. specimens.
On account of the delay in transit
only a tentative Judgment should be
rendered on these specimens, but it
would appear that the chlorinatiOn
at that time was fairly adequate, in
reducing the presence Of b. Golf to
a safe limit.
