CITY WATER SUPPLY
NOT CONTAMINATED

s. N. Van Trump, engineer In
charge OF the Water Department.
declared today that the city water
supply is free OF typhoid fever germs.
The water Is tested nine times daily
by chemists OF the department and
is kept constantly within the stand
ard required by the Treasury De-
partment. That the water is per-
fectly safe for drinking purposes, is
shown by the fact that the tests
show that the water is almost always
below a point which is one-third OF
the danger line permitted by the
government standard. The margin
OF safety is thus very wide.
