Therefore, Marion County haa had, up to this time during the present winter, 199 cases of typhoid fever. Re ports indicate that the death list in the city will exceed 16 to date. Mayor George F. Rodgers has just com pleted an experiment which has con vinced the city officials that the principal trouble with the Salem water arises from the contaminating Influences of the slough through which the intake pipe passes. A sample of water was taken from the crib, under the rivef bed, and another from the intake pipe near the pumping station. The sample taken from the crib was found to be pure and the sample from the shore end of the intake was badly infected with colon bacilli. The Mayor has written the War De partment asking for permission to have the Intake pipe raised above the surface of the water in the slough at low water mark. On account of the slough being a part of a navigable stream, it is neces sary to get the consent of the War de partment before the pipe can be raised from the bed of the slough. Mayor Rodgers states that unless the water company can make the intake pipe absolutely tight and free from any sus picion of contamination from the outside, he will demand that the company install a new Intake pipe at once. The preliminaries for building a moun tain water system are being attended to, so that the actual construction work may commence as soon as Spring opens.
