TEST PROVES
WATER IS PURE
Untrue Reports Out that
Dead Bodies Found in
Supply

CALEXICO, April 17.-Therc are
neither dead Hindus, Mexicans,
Americans nor Chinese in the city
water works settling reservoir !;
neither is there any other dead
thing in it. Nor has anything of
the sort been taken from it in n
long time, Notwithstanding fire.
quent recurring reports to the con
trary.
Such 4 report in circulation ac-
lively all of the present week ap-
pears 10 be more persistent in de
termination to stay about than any
of its recent predecessors. 1T has
claimed three dead bodies removed.
Less agreement has prevailed as to
the races Of the alleged dead, all ma
tions being given show at this in
the stories afloat and for which
there has been no slightest founda-
ti0E.
Chemical Purity
Helping possibly with the spread
of the stories and their acceptance
by many rs true, has been the fact
that the city water has had an off
taste during mere than week, so
much so that many persons have
ceased to drink it and believe that
there is something radically wrong.
City Manager Stcintorf stated that
this was not true and presented the
result Of tests made within the
week at the state laboratory at
Berkeley and also in Los Angeles,
where water was taken to special
list for chemical anal lysis and for
the purpose of consulting as to the
best means that might be adopted
for its treatment to perform com
plete chemical publication and still
not bring unplea asantness in taste.
The reports returned this week
show entire freedom from any unde-
sirable bacteria whatsoever. In
this respect they are in conformity
with stack of reports foot high,
made upon samples of water collect
ed as designated by the state labor
atory from setting reservoirs, taps.
the open canal and other sources.
The collections are made every
three weeks and sent to the state
laboratory. During the last two
years there have been no returns
showing harmful bacteria, except in
the water in the open canal. This
disappears under the circulating and
purifying system operated by the
water works. The reports are avail
able to the public at the office of
the city manager at the city hall.
I hey come from the highest author.
ities and are held to establish that
no purer water is enjoyed any
where than in Calexico.
