    Mr. Vet. Reinhardt Page a W 2 » 2 5/26/50 separate samples from each of the sources which I did. Ieoh ©f the eleven wells and the Little Spring showed up l©d|S taut the M g Spring showed contamination. Considering the possibility that this oantaa- 1nation might be due to the method of obtaining the sample, 1 obtained two additional samples from the M g Spring yesterday, and | am awaiting hr. G?trr*8 report. Meanwhile it might be well to have the Railroad forces inspect and clean up the Inferior of the housing over the Big Spring. Dr. Carr stated that there are very few water systems that operate without chlorination of some kind, and is of the opinion that we should oonstantly ohlojv ln&te our supply at the source. 1 advised him we were replacing pump house at the Middle spring and as soon as that was completed about next week we would resume operation of the hypo-chlorinator so the proper proportion of chlorine would be Introduced into the eye test thru the 01 ark Street Reservoir. Copy of Dr, Carr*e letter May 25th on the subject is attached. With regard to the fourth item Q&m mlng the proximity of water and sewer mains we recently received from Director White of the State Board ef Health, a suggestion that hie office issue instructions providing water mains and sewer mains must be installed not less than ten feet apart, this has been our practice In the past except in locations where it Is? impractical to do so. 1 have not yet replied to Dr. Carr*a letter, and will appreciate the benefit of your advice before doing so.
