The statement follows:
oChloine has very unpleas-
ant odor. It Il impossible to
predict in advance how much
chlorine will be required to ac-
complish satisfactory disinfec-
1tion, a some waters require
much more chlorine than others.
The presence Of much organic
matter or other reducing sub
stance will cause the absorb
ton of much chlorine.
The chlorine dose is regulated
by testing for certain colors,
with permanent colored glass
standards. Sometimes It IL nee
essary to change the application
several times daily, it may even
be necessary to more than
double the dose. We are requir-
ed by order Of the Michigan De-
partment Of Health to have an
excess or residual left over to
insure q safe water; the amount
to be determined by the coli
form counts or index of the
Lake water for the past year.
We test for chloride q minimum
Of thirty-two (32) times each
day.

has some kind Of an odor when
heated. It may be due TO-.
