EDITOR :â€"The water tanks pro- ‘vided for use in case of fire are in a most dangerous condition. They are i covered by a small wooden lid hinged, ihut not fastened in any other way. A-few days ago some one left the lid on the Elgin street tank open, which almost resulted in drowning some small children that live near. These lids should be securely fastened and f thus made safe. The tanks contain; a‘mut 6 feet of water and should a :child get in, it would be sure death 'and would prove expensive to the town. Yours truly, J. F. B.

Thisl - may not he the case. however. and the 5 result of a. thorough chemical analysis goes to prove the contention we have often made. Shallow wells are liable to contamination from surface water percolating into them, through theI surroumling porous soil, whichI in time becomes contaminated, and l unfit for use. \Vithout gmng into full particulars, and trying to demonstrate 'from our own knowledge. the danger‘, of ordinary wells we submit Mr. Clem- on’s letter for a careful personal peru- sal, and in cc‘uclusion we may just ex- press grave doubts regarding the pur- ity of any well in Durham or any other town supplied with water as 'we are. \Ve know there are some who talk knowingly about the purity of water in their own particular wells, but they’re not chemists and know very little about what they’re drinking. | plau'v at, 8 n'vluvk p.
