' (Br Journal T.mm.1 H,l, v Salem, Or., reb. 8, Attacks uDcn the punty or the Salem water supply are refuted by the best physicians and oth er citizens of Salem, who : retard the printed statements as damaging to -the extreme because of their effect abroad. Following are the statements of some . ri most prominent met regard wLer suppiy-oi uiis city: The purity of our water supply is uh questioned," said J. H. Albert, presi- ' me capital national bank, "as It la examined periodically by haeter. iologlats. The movement for a gravity system i mostly in --the Interests of me state, ine presenc supply being suf ficient for the city. The city is under no, obligation whatever to . supply the state Institutions with water, though, should bo supplied . with abundance of uiuuniain water. - v Calls Beporta libelous. "Great injustice Is done by the at tacks made upon -the water supply of this city, principally on account of the schools. , Parents who have chil dren attending school at Salem read those statements and. having no other means of becoming Informed, believe mem. inev are absolutely libelous. A few years ago, when the Oregonlan was making the same asaault, there was a sianaing oner made ox Mtu to any per son who wouta una colon bacilli or omer uaneeroua lnlectlona in ths ma.inr drawn from Salem faucets, but no one cuutfcieo me money. "The SUDDlv la not drawn frnm ' th river proper but from the subterranean stream . benea th the Willamette river such as follows the course of every big rlvei. It Is perfectly filtered before It is turned Into the pipes that supply the city. -.-. t ays nitration Is Perfect. - Dr." W. B. Morse, member of the state board of health, has the following to say regarding the water supply: "Why is Salem water abominable and not fit to drink? The state bacteriolo gist says the water Is pure and I chal lenge anyone to distinguish the water now supplied to the statehouse and to other consumers Jn this cltv from Ttnv oinvr water, oy ooor, color or taste, ana fact is, the Salem water is pumped through a gravel filter fifteen feet tnicK. tne efficiency of which is clearly proved by the fact that the water de livered to consumers is clear and free from poison, -while that In the river is muddy. If Salem .water is dangerous it Is a very remarkable fact that the city is absolutely free from diseases due to contaminated water. I have lived here for twenty years and am ferhaps In better position to judge of he quality of the Salem water .than most of the men who lie about it. ao fiarently without reason or without hav ng made any effort to learn the truth.' Kayo Invites Comparisons. George Rodaers. mayor of Salem. said: ... "The Oregonlan s statements are en tirely untrue. It Is true Salem gets its water from a navigable stream, as St. Louts and many other big cities of this country do. But th water la clarified and made absolutely pure by the most improved methods of filtration. "The method used by this city Is not experimental, as It is In many cities. No chemicals are used by which the purity of. the water, la made uncertain, depending upon the judgment of one man who applies the chemicals. I am willing to have a chemical an alysis of Salem water com oared with an analysis of the water supplied any otner city m Oregon, not excluding Portland. I am further willing to com pare our mortality statistics as re gards typhoid with those of any city on the Pacific coast, as it is generally accepted that 90 per cent of the casus of typhoid fever are caused by . impure water. t We hav taken steps toward ne- qulrlng a supply of mountain water for our city. These steps were taken prin cipally because of two reasons; first, a mountain water supply Is the greatest advertisement any city can put forth In Jts behalf. andv secondly, because the tern and a gravity supply Is recognbMJ to be the cheapest and best."
