THE WINGITAIVL ADVANCE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER, BER, 18, 1909
The Pore Water Question.
Mr. Editor : —I have been waiting
for some time to see if there would be
any reference made in your paper to•
Dr, Kennedy's letter which appeared
in your journal on not. 7th, and as it
appears to me the health of the people
of Wingham is too important a
matter to allow to drop, I would
therefore like, with your permission,
to make a few remarks regarding the
same.
Dr. Kennedy's article makes it very
plain that pure water is an absolute
necessity, if we intend to rid our town
of typhoid fever, and he concludes the
article by saying "how any man can
call himself a Chtistian or even a
humanitarian and vote against a sys-
tem of pure water, is an enigma,"
I presume by that, Mr. Editor, that
Dr. Kennedy refers to the system of
"pure water" as proposed some time
ago by the Town Council and the by-
law which was voted on and defeated
by the people, in which case, I beg to
state that there is a considerable dif-
,erence of opinion as to the feasibility
of the plan, as it was proposed by the
Council, This plan was as I under-
stand it, to sink artesian wells and
use the present waterworks system
(that is standpipe and watermains) to
distribute the water to the different
,parts of the town, By that method it
is evident that•those who would want
to use this water would require to'
pipe the same into their own dwel-
lings, and therefore the man who
could afford to spend $20 or $25 to
have pure water, would be enabled to
have it, while t'he man who could not
afford to epend that amount, would
still be compelled "to drink polluted
water, if his well happened to be pol-
luted. Then supposing it was made
compulsory for every house to use
this pure water, where would our
water for fire purposes come from ? I
claim, Mr. Editor, that in case of fire
our water pressure would be consider-
ably lessened, a condition of affairs
which no citizen would like to see.
Then we are told that in case of a big
fire that the fire -pump now in use
could be used to pump river water in
to the standpipe. In that case we
would be drinking river water for a
day and perhaps more, and would be
liable to contract more typhoid fever
in one day than we might have by
drinking what we are now using in a
whole year. The plan as proposed in
the by-law might be feasible, but there
are a lot of people -in Wingham who
are like the man from Missouri—
"they want to be shown."

WINQ AMI ONT.
Then the matter of sewage disposal
to my mind is almost as necessary as
pure wateP. Apparently there is no
compulsion in Wingham regarding
the cleaning out of waterclosets and
outhouses ; if so, has the law been en-
forced? I venture to state that there
are waterclosets in Wingham which
have not been cleaned out in years.
Is it any wonder then that' we have
more than our share of typhoid fever
with the sewage from some of these
waterclosets flowing into the water
we drink.
It is said also that typhoid cans be
contracted through bad odors, from
dumpage, etc. One of the first things
I noticed on corning to Wingham
about two years ago was that eyesore
known as a dumping ground directly
to the south of the town, and so close
to the road that no -one could avoid
seeing it and smelling the_ odor that
arose from the old cans, etc., that had
been thrown there. I am told there
is another dumping ground on the
west side of the town, almost as near
the people's noses as the one men-
tioned. No wonder that we have
typhoid in town with conditions exist-
ing such as I have mentioned.
Until such conditions are removed
(and this can easily be done) there will
likely be typhoid in Wingham; and as
regards pure . water, I herewith re-
spectfully suggest to the Town Coun-
til a temporary plan which will, I be-
lieve, effectually stop the disease, until
a better plan can be decided on, and
at the same time cost very little, viz.—
"Appoint an inspector to take a sam-
ple of water from every well in town,
have each bottle labeled with the
name and have contents carefully ana-
lyzed. Nail up hard and fast any
wells which are polluted with typhoid
germs, and have the inspector nail a
sign on every condemned well as fol-
lows or in effect --"This water con-
demned." This would require to be
done say at once, and again when the
water becomes tow in the summer.
This could be done without the sanc-
tion of the people and would therefore
obviate any loss of issue, and would
give the future Council plenty of time
to figure out the whole matter and de-
vise a plan which coitid be made per-
manent and satisfactory.
In conclusion, Mr. Editor, is it true
that the water in some wells in town
which have been condemned is being
used with impunity? If so, is the
Board of Health criminally negligent?
Perhaps not 1 I do not say they are,
but somebody is.
Yours truly,
