Show HUNTSVILLE WATER IS IMPURE Superintendent of Schools W. N. Potterson reported to the county commissioners com-missioners regarding the sanitary conditions con-ditions at the Huntsvillo school, respecting re-specting the water supply. He statod that the state board of health claims to have received samples of the water wa-ter used at the HiintsYille school, which they tested and found to bo impure, nnd not fit for U6e. When It was madvj public that the slate board of health had virtually condemned the Huntsvillc water, the health officer of Huntsvllle was directed di-rected to send a sample of the water to the state chemist for analysis, which ho did, the report of the chemist chem-ist being that the water was pure and could be used for culinary purposes. Not satisfied with the test, tho state board of health sent a third person to Huntsvillc to get samples of tho water wa-ter to have tho same tested. The latter lat-ter test disclosed tho fact that the wator is impure. Superintendent Pettersou stated that ho should like to have the matter mat-ter thoroughly Investigated by the board of commissioners, that It might be known definitely as to -what tho real conditions are. In accordance with this suggestion, Chairman Mad-son Mad-son was authorized to have official test made of the water. |
