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."

Sale Opened Tuesday, November loth. The Robson Mercantile C 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, W.11. 11. Wir les. C bu'Cb am Rev,Dr, Mclean is resigning the Clerkship of Herron, Presbytery. Iso has held the position 41 years.
