ONTARIO HEALTH OFFICER POINTS OUT THE CONTAMINATED CONDITION OF SUPPLY. Moving the Intake Pipe Further West Would Give Purer Water--It Would Cost Half a Million Dollars to Make the Extension. The City Council is going to look into the local water supply question, in response to a communication from Dr. McCullough, chief officer of Bealth for Ontario, who draws attention to the bacteriological {ests made by the provincial laboratories at een's University as showing the water sup- ply to be badly contaminated. There is nothing new in the reports. The local 'Board of Health and\the health officer have for a long time drawn the attention of the civic an- thorities to the dangerous condition of the city's water supply, and the local health officer's warning that all drinking water should first be boiled still stands. It appears tat private citizens, becoming dissatisfied at the lack of action taken by the City Coun- cil and the UtiHties Commission to remedy the existing conditions, com- plained to the provinetal health auth- orities. The result was that Dr. P. Moloney, district officer of health, made an examination into the situa- tion and reported as the'local officer of health did--that the city's water supply is badly contaminated, that the present chlorination plant is un- satisfactory, and that it is advisable to move the intake pipe of, the where a purer source of supply ean be secured. The provineial health officer sent on this report to the Coun- cil and asked what it intended dping about the matter. here Board Of Works To Act. On motion of Ald, Wright, and af- ter some discussion, the question™wis referred to the Board of Works which will hold a special meeting this week and arrange to have a sub-coms mittee-diseuss the matter with the ission ni p There wag a debats er the City Councfl had any responsi bility in the matter, Ald. Kent hold- ing that the Utilities Commission alone was the responsible body. Alds. Wright, Graham and Corbett held that the City Council had a duty to perform, as the city owned the wa- ter plant and the Utilities Comrhis- sion was merely elected to operate it. Mayor Newman intimated that | Hamburg-American i L f when the new chlorination plant was installed, the water would be quite safe for drinking. It would be as good as the water supply at the Royal Military College, whose chlorination plant renders almost pure the drink- ing supply there. i Ald. Wright pointed out that the Ger- | Utilities . Commission did~.not seem to care to face the question and it was time something be done to protect the lives of the aitizens. It was true that the Utilities Commis- sion was preparing to install a new plant to "dope" the water, but that would not be satisfactory. Ald. Graham could not see that anything but "doped" water would be supplied to 'the le and said that the, Board of Works would be glad to tacklé the question. At the last meeting of the Util- ities Commission it was decided to allow the water pipe extension ques- tion fo' stand over, as it would cost about half a million dollars to get a sponly of water from a point beyond Laké Ontario Park. It would cost another half million doHars to-divert the sewage and install a septic tank, so that Kingston is up against a mil- lion dollar proposition in opder to get a better drinking water supply. But it must get it.
