The report pre sented yesterday follow : 'IK sanitary investigation of con- ditions on iui crees was iniiu uy the wriier on the afternoon of August 2S-, 1926. in satisfaction of reqfceiits ' from the state board of - control and Taylor's bathing beach of 8ah?m, Oregon. From this in vestigation I submit the following report. - : ' "Waters from the Santiam river is diverted at Stayton through a ditch "into the channel of Mill crefk.t From the point of diver si oa the diverted water ,flows suc cessively through the cities of Stattoh Aumsville, Turner and Sa lem. : Between these ' cities vthe strlarif passes throtfghi fafnf 'lands and crosses the paved , highway raatly times.

At the peniten tiary a portion of the stream, flows through the prison yard. The sew ago from the prison is, however, discharged Into a sewer leading to UieWillamette river. Recent ly, ibis sewer .was stopped for a short while, and during that time thesewage from the prison went into-Mill creek, but: the sewer has beep repaired and is now in use. The insano asylum is also- con nected to this sewer owned by the etatp. ; " ' 'h hospital farm, tuberculosis hospital und boys' training school have- connections tot septic tanks. At he hospital farm the septic lanys ape seemingly in a fair state of fopfratieh. Th tuberculosis hospital's septic tanks are in need of cleaning as raw sewage was ob fcervfed passing at tho outlet. ' At the jbots'. training - school the double compartment septic; tank was' discharging a very tlear efflu cnt.t indicating a high degree of purification for tls fype of prim ary ? treatment. No" test samples were- taken of. the septic, tank ef fluents as laboratory facilities were Inadequate to make complete analyses. The degree of purifi cation accomplished by the septic tanks at the state institutions was judged.-by observation alone. "At Aumsville, Turner and Stay ton Hhe stream flows through the business and residential .sections of the -towns, and although sewer outfalls were not discovered on thi;brjef investigation, the writer la qjait confident , that there are many jjrlvate sewer and septic tank; connections. Mill creek is the Natural drain of this territory. .'U the. date of -the investiga tion a firater sample, was collected by the writer at tho bridge on 21st street in Salem, 'j. report, from Dr. VOllam Levin, director of the laboratory of -tb state; board of health, is attached to this-reportj The bacteriological analyau shows the water to ' be .in C, condition whih is Interpreted as meaning, 'polluted' and unsafe. The pres ence) of organisms of the B. Coll grotip was, cenflrmed. .Indicating sewage, contamination or pollution from surfae drainage. . "The exact volume of sewage . flowing' Into Mill creek would be. of course, difficult., of rae&sure- ; ment, but it la estimated that the sewered popula Hon ; Is , consider- Bbly.less than l.00. On Sept., 5, 1915, the discharge of Mill creek was measured to be 1 5S second feet. Six second, feet of water per thousand, sewered population has oeen considered ample dilution In rne-eastern states, i Upon this basis the; 158 second feet would furnish , sufficient dilution for a population' of about 26.00fr. it Is - believed that Mill creek Is not so heavily; polluted as other 'streams .ine Willamette basing . 1.

When sludge in the septic tanks occupies 25 per cent of the total effective volume: of the tank,- it should be removed by shoveling or hosing with a fire hose. Every effort should be made to maintain Lcbe septic tanks in first class oper ating condition. "Z.

Of those paroled three failed to fend any reports to the prison of ficials, two were returned to the institution for .commission of crime,, and two failed to report during the past 30 days.
