My dear Sir: ?
I am writing to you as Chairman
of the Board of 8chool Trustee of our
public schools in this town. Our
schools will open on Monday 16th He
Inst., both white and colored. In the
farmer thefe will be enrolled prob- Mj
sbly seven hundred or eight hundred
rmVum. iuu win agree with me that s*l
It is of vital importance that the pa- ?n>
pile Id our schools abould be supplied the
with potable water. I have Just cod- Id
lulted with Dr. E. M. Brown. County * ]
Superintendent of Health, who makes lot
Mibstantlally the following statement. 1
In view ojftha report on the last tty
ropply, ne baa advised our Board at
uad the Superintendents of our we
Schools to use the city water in pref- *1?
srence to any water obtained from the
lither open wells or bored wells in am
;^e vicinity of the school building, the
SVhile not intending in the slightest roq
o disparage ttte opinion of Dr. the
3Down, yet the problem is of such so
irgent Importance, that I am con- Ws
drained to ask your opinion. the
I may further quote Dr. Brown as
dating that he has recently had the tloi
Jtate Chemist make an examination bio
if a sample of water from a bored fro
veil about seventy feet deep, located en
ibout a square from the white school Is 1
iuildlng. This well was bored about ou|
wenty years ago. but has been used
rery little In the meantime. It was api
>ne of the wells which was put down mo
)j the town years ago to obtain a of
iupply of "water for fire purposes. A cci
lu&ntlty of water was pumped from suj
his well by means of the fire engine, em
rontlnuing for about half an hour. grt
tfter which a sample was taken. This ciu
sample was recieved-by Dr. Shore on am
Sept. 9th and report made by him on |us<
3?rpi. xcin. Based on this report Dr. jgei
Brown ha? advised against the use of iTh
his water. jth?
May we ask in addition that the! ply
StatevBoard of Health in co-operation jaa
*"lth out County Superintendent will'la
maintain a critical and constant su-lag'
jervision of our water supply, mak- ?h<
ng frequent analysis and reporting th?
the result of same both to our Mayor, do
ind also our City Supterintendent of of
Schools. Prof. N. C. Newbold.
I am of the opinion that an awak- my
sned spirit haB taken possession of' in
the citizens of our community, and me
that a movement has beeu initiated esj
which will result In the municipality lar
constructing a sanitary system of Wi
Irainage, and a municipally owned re<
water supply, but even if this move- evt
ment shall continue toward ultimate
tuccess, wo cannot expect the several

Washington. N. C.
' dear Mr. Small:
Both yosr letters under date ot
jtember fourteenth are received. I
deeply gratified at the interest
people in Washington are tailing
their community health, and it-is
pleasure to note that your settee
erest Is with them. ?
My opinion as to the relative parpresent,
and water supply , from
Us that are under ao public superIon,
is that it is much safer to nee
water from the public supply. I
sending a copy of ypur letter to
State laboratory of Hygiefce and
nesting Doctor Sbore, in case of
slightest pollution, to notify me
that I may in turn notify the
abtugton authorities and advise
boiling of the water. We have ft
rised that careful sanitary regulaaa
be enforced, particularly on the
ck in which the wella are driven
m which the public supply la takand
it may be that, if this advice
taken and the hoick kept in tborgbly
sanitary condition, the preepollution
of the water may disbar
within a year or eighteea
ntha. This will permit the people
Washington, if they prefer, to
itinue to use the present source of
>ply. In the meantime, a very
all amount, about one-seventh of a
tin to the gallon of water, of cairn
hypochlorite, which la harmless
d without taste or odor, is being
;a to a^eiroy any uwcmp proaucrnR
ms that might gvt Into the water,
e probabilities, however, are that
! present* source of your water supwill
not be satisfactory, and that
aoon as the chemical disinfectant
discontinued the pollution will
itn appear in the water. If this
>uld prove to be the case, then
re remains nothing for the city to
except to procure another soarce
public water supply.
In closing. 1 beg to assure you of
interest and cordial co-operation
all matSbrB looking to the improvent
of your public health, and more
tecially that we will give partlcuattention
to the analysis of the
ishington water and if necessary
julre an analysis twice a month or
try week.
Very truly yours,
W. S. RANKIN,
Secretary. ; ^
