UTILITIES COMMITTEE THINKS UNDUE DISTURBANCE HAS BEEN MADE By Board of Health Over City's Water Supply--What Prof. Con- nell's Report Shows--To Ask Provincial Inspector to" Report. The members of the Utilities come! mitte, with Mayor Hoag, considered the question of the hest method of purifyiog the city's water.-on Monday afiern oon. This was the first meeting since th: Board of Health, last week, deiided, after a lapse of (wo weeks over the period of time allowed the ity Council to take steps to progide for the purification of the water sup- «ly, to report the council's inactivity o the Provipeial Poard of Health. It is 0) vious that, though ths Utili bios committee, as a body, had not eriously considered the matter, a rreat deal of interest has heen going n among ths individual members. A resolution was passed on Monday out- lining the progress of the committee, hat it had under its consideration bh: pocessity of filtration or sewage d'sposal systems, and with this end in iew hed instructed the chairman and energl manager to communicate with bs Provincial Health department and isk for. the services of the district b ath officer, for consultation and re xrt upen the came, d a report from Prof. W.T.

In only ome of hese samples (October 2nd) has been ourd any bacteria of intestinal ori- [*rin, when tested in J C.E. amounts.

The" commitiee was of the opinion hat the Hoard, of Health had made due disturbance over the matter of he water, when it was in a satisfac ory condition, as the report of Dr. 'ounell indicated. The chairman said hat h: ecnsidered its action ill-advis- 4, whn it went on shaking up the matter, without sufficient duta.

He said thal i i { when the last trouble was being ex- | perienced with the intake pipe, and | the people were greatly inconveni | enced, Kingston's water supply was in as bad a condition as that of Ot tawa at tue recent typhoid epidemic. | He eail the thanks of the citizens was due 0 the late Ald. Carson, for the attentign he gave the trouble at the time, pl That the installation of a sewage disposal system is the only way to rectify the trouble, is the opinion of Ald. Harrison, and he stated his views to the committee in no un-! certain tones. He had personally communicated with Hr. McCullough. the proviocial health officer, and asked questions regarding the sol- ution ~f the trouble. This official gssured him that the "key to the situation' lav in the proper disposal of the (itv sewage, apparently that, ! with -a filtration system, the water bad ic he treated with a chemical, {#8 is being now dome in the city. The alderman had asked how the i sewage from the boats and steam. | !ers in the harbor would affact this,' ~ and was assured that nature would take care of this. Dr. McCullough also siut<d that in a short time the, law would be enforced making all | munici; a 'ties take care of its sew- age, and water supply. Ald. Har- |3ison contended that it was the | height of folly to continve pouring this contamination into the harbor. and expect to have safe water. He held that the city has to face the problem of th~ disposal of the sew- | age. Of course it would be expen- | give, but it would be to better ad-!| 'vantage to exprnd, say, $200,000 on a proper solution of the trouble than one quarter of the amount on #n inferior and unsatisfactory sys-! tem. | Ald. Ross was inclined to think that sewdg~ disposal' and filtration systems both would be necessary t ensure absolute safety. He also gives an-ear 0 the question whether | the sewage from other places flow- ing throngh these waters has not to be considerad.
