AS ,TO CITY WATER.
Conditions Still Unsatisfactory -Commissioners
Met Last Night.
- . -
Another analysis of the city water
has been received from Penniman &
Browne, the Baltimore chemists. The
report is still unsatisfactory. Accom
panying the report received yesterday
was the following comment:
"We enclose results of chemical
and biological examinations of sample
of water sent here June 22nd. The
chemical analysis shows that me
water has improved since our last re
port, June 11th, but is still in an un
satisfactory condition.
"The biological examination con
firms the above opinion and shows
but little improvment so far as the
number of organism present is con
cerned. '
"Has there been any local disturb
ance to account for this change?"
Soon after the receipt of the Penni
man & Browne analysis the members
of the board of water Commissioners
met at the city hall for aconference.
It was unanimously decided that the
citizens should be apprised of the
exact conditions and to advise the
users of city water to boil it until an
analysis showed improvement.
In this connection it is well to state
that there is a conflict of opinion as
to the relative quality of Charlotte
water. Mr; . Gerald McCarthy, the j
State biologist, insists that our water i
is "very pure."
In a letter- received - June 23 Mr.
McCarthy said:
"I enclose herewith analysis of your
last special sample of water. This
analysis shows the water to be : the
best sample ever received from your
company. The nitrates and .organic
matter are remarkably low. . This
seems to prove my former suspicions
that the high nitrate contents of your
first sample was due to some mineral
contamination caused by pipe fittings,
or possibly some residue left in fixing
your new reservoir. I am quite sure
there is not now, if there ever has
been, any . serious contamination of
this .water, and the scare your peo
rle have had seems to have oeen en
tirely uncalled for." -;
Out -of the abundance of cau
tion consumers are asked to
boil the water fora few days ..until :
the last vestige of impurities is re
moved. Everytning that would, in the
least contaminate the water, has oeen
removed and - the shed is now free
from any unhealthy matter.

best stroke . that Charlotte has made
in many years. While no effort has
been made by any business' organi
