Shade; But Not Contaminated
Rochester, June 4.-The city water
Is not contaminated and no leakages
have been found in the waterworks
system according to reports from
both the health department and the
superintendent of the waterworks,
Engene Schwarz after making inves
LEGATIONS here. The investigations
were brought on by the inky condi :
ton of the city water in the business
sections and some of the residence
districts. Hot weather and the unus-
ual amount Of water circulating cut
ting loose vegetable matter from the
inside Of the pipes is given as the
reason for the bad appearance of the
water. In an effort to remedy this the
city waterworks planned to shut OF
nearly half the water supply OF the
city over certain period Of time to-
day. ...s. y

ance coming forth from the water
taps and bubbling up from the sani-
tary fountains alarmed the down
town section Of the city early today.
The water appeared polluted and
dangerous to drink due to its color
and the sediments floating in 1t. Ho-
tel guests became alarmed and the
nurses In the hospitals hesitated to
use the blackened water in their
work. Protests were registered and
part of the city water works force
were hurried around the system and
to the dead ends in an effort to as
certain whether there was leakage.
DR.. W. F. Bleifuss, city health officer.
was notified and took samples of the
water. Late today he said:
There is no evidence Of outside
contamination as far as have been
able to ascertain yet. We are still
taking samples of the water. How
ever, in order to assure public safety
the water will be chlorinated."

USE OF EoREsT LAND

No better example Of the continu.
GUS use of forest land for the devel-
opment and prosperity Of a commun.
ity can be found than that Of the
French Landes, declares the Forest
Service, In an article in the 1922
Yearbook Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, entitled
Timber: Mine or Crop?" Three
quarters. Of a century ago." the For
est Service article states. "the south
ern part Of the west coast OF France.
Departments, was largely an un-
healthy waste of sand and swamp,
There were no roads and the chief
industry was sheep and goat raising.
The region was seriously threatened
by shifting sands blown In from the
coast. Land could be bought at al
most any price. Out OF this area Of
swamps and shifting sand dunes,
with malarial, scanty, and poverty
stricken population, the French Gov
ernment through reclamation and
the planting of maritime pine has
made one Of the most prosperous
and salubrious regions of France An
area Of slightly less than 1000, 900
acres supports population of about
100000, and as a health resort is
visited by about 100000 people each
year. The reclamation and reforesta-
tion Of something over 1850, 900
acres cost on the average only $6.41
per acre. The estimated net forest
revenue Of the Landes district Is 50, =
100000 per year, or about 1922 per
acre. The naval stores industry Is
second only to that Of the United
States"
Europe affords many similar exa
amples. declares the Forest Service.
The contrast can be found In former
great timber States, such as Penn
sylvania. Michigan. and Wisconsin,
where, hundreds Of prosperous com
munities were built up around CO.
operage or woodenware plants and
sawmills only to be. abandoned when
the system OF timber mining ex-
hausted the great forests without
any attempt at replacement or re
forestation. Many specific examples
OF TOWNS and counties which have
suffered from timber mining are
given In the article, which, among
other things, states: "The departure
of local industries takes much in ad
dition to the enterprises themselves.
Il removes opportunity for the en-
ployment OF labor, cuts heavily into
local markets for the farmer. and
likewise cuts down the trade OF local
merchants. In the long run, shifting
and temporary industries result In
the economic and social demoraliza-
tion Of the communities and regions
which they once made prosperous.
Idle forest lands. far from being neI-
trail, aggravate our problem of land
use by their evil effects upon the
forest and wood using industries.
