Race Swimming
Called Unsafe
Swimming in the millrace was
again warned against by Lane
county public health authorities,
who called attention to the fact
that warmer weather was draw
ing swimmers to the watercourse.
W. J. Cloyes, county sanitar
ian, warned of the danger of
swimming in the mill race and
Willamette river in and adjacent
to the city. He declared that re
cent water samples submitted to
the state board of health show
that these waters have been
found unsafe for swimming.
The sahnples revealed consid
erable contamination resulting
from sewage discharged into the
river above the millrace and
storm sewers emptying into the
mill race at several points.
“Contaminated waters are of
ten responsible for the transmis
sion of certain diseases and in
testinal upsets including typhoid
fever, dysentery, diarrhea, chol
era, and infantile paralysis,” said
Cloyes. “Taking chances in un
known polluted waters does not
pay.”
