Kodiak Sanitation Report Is Received
Results of a sanitation inspec
tion of Kodiak, made this year
ty Major Richard S. Green, Dir
ector and Sanitary Engineer of
the D. S. Public Health Service,
of Juneau, were reported at the
council meeting Monday by Dr.
A- Holmes Johnson, city health
officer.
IWater Supply
Discussing the water supply,
the report said that “the new
city water supply is the only one
which is bacteriologically safe
since I inspected carefully the
intake works of both the Benson
and Erskine water supplies and
found conclusive evidence again
that neither of these supplies
should be med for human con
sumption without the protection
of chlorination.
“Regulations of the depart
ment require that there shall be
no physical connections between
the distribution system of a pub
lic potable water supt Iy and
that of any other water supply
unless the other water supply is
safe aud the interconnections are
approved. Separation of i he two
systems by mean3 of a valve is
not considered safe. The absence
of such interconnections must be
assured before this office may
make recommendations to the
Surgeon General of the Public
Health Service as to whether the
Kodiak water supply may be
used on vessels calling at your
city.
“You are already familiar
with the triple cross-connection
which I discovered at the Frank
McConaghy cannery on the Er
ikine dock.
‘'There are several families lo
cated in various parts of Kodiak,
chiefly on the outlaying edges of
town, which are receiving water
bom badly contaminated priv
ate supplies.”
Other health factors which
Major Green considered were:
Garbage
Garbage Disposal—“The sys
tem of city collection of garbage
letms to be working out very
much better than the arrange
ment in effect when I was last in
Kodiak though I did note on a
few occasions quite untidy con
ditions around individual gar
bage cans. It should be the re
sponsibility of each property
iurner or occupant to see that
the area near the garbage cans
» cleaned up frequently. It is im
portant that Kodiak continue to

improve its garbage collection
since there seems to be a slight
increase in the number of rats in
Kodiak during the past year.”
Milk Sanitation—“I ?m en
closing copies of letters to Mr.
(E. E.) Bell, Mr (Ernie) Bryan,
and the Kodiak Baptist Mission
which are self-explanatory.
Neither of the last two dairies

minimum standards for milk
production.”
Clams
Clam Digging—“Based on ev
idence winch I secured I believe
it is definitely unsafe for resid
ents of Kodiak to dig clams any
where in the immediate vicinity
of Kodiak or Women’s Bay since
a considerable amount of sewage
pollution is present in those
areas.”
Restaurants
Restaurants—“I wras able to
inspect 5 restaurants and 5 bars
—on the whole conditions were
fairly good though of course here
and there several items were not
satisfactory.”
In concluding his letter to Dr.
JohnsoD Major Green added: I
believe your cooperative inspec
tion endeavor with the Army
and Navy officials stationed near
Kodiak is very excellent and cer
tainly should do much to keep
things in line and possibly even
improve them.”
