VALDEZ SCHOOL
WATER IS PORE
Sample Sent To Washington Bacter
iologist for Testing Show That
Water Is Pure.
Following the grand jury report
that the water at the public schools
was bad and especially that the wa
ter of the reservation school was im
pure, Dr. E. C. Dalton, city health of
ficer, sent to Dr. E. P. Fick, bacter
iologist for the state of Washington,
samples of the water from both
school houses and today received the
following telegram:
Dr. E. C. Dalton, Valdez:
The sample of Valdez water I ex
amined is free from bacteria.
DR. E. P. FICK,
Washington State Bacteriologist.
The information will be gladly re
ceived by the parents of the scholars
attending the school and by the peo
ple generally, as it has always been
contended that the surface flow of
water does not reach the streams of
water that flow below the hardpan
and clay strata that lie below the
surface of the gravel at every few
feet. The impure water from the
surface is carried off on the first
strata, while water from the second
or third strata is pure.
