The old windmill probably'
is the cheapest way to pump
water, but the tempo of farm
life now is such that no one
can wait for the breezes to blow.
Research shows that many
who are making a mess of their
marriage now, were doing the
same thing, on their own, before

Another report from the Ter
ritorial Department of Health
was issued this week advising
Sewardites to boil drinking
water because of traces of con
form bacteria found in water
samples. There doesn’t seem to
be much excitement over the sit
uation, probably because resi
dents have been drinking this
‘‘surface water” from a source
3000 feet up the mountain for
the past 33 years. It is said that
there never has been a single
death traced to the water sup
ply.
Health Department officials,
who are trained to get excited
over the possibility of contam
ination, tell us that “if a person
should come into this area who
happened to be a carrier of ty
phoid or other contagious dis
ease, it might conceivably get
into the water system and cause
an epidemic.”
This is, of course, a perfectly
logical premise. It does seem a
little far fetched though, to use
such an argument in relation to
the water supply alone, when
the same person would be more
likely to spread contagion by
eating and drinking in public
places. Why emphasize the water
supply, unless it is an effort to
high pressure the water com
pany or tne cuy administration
to put in a $10,000 chlorination
system? I am not making any
statement to that effect. I’m only
j wondering. Perhaps it is only
the result of having a conscien
tious and energetic sanitation of
ficer on the job who is, without
question, sincere in his efforts
to safeguard public health.
One thing is certain. If the
city is to blame then the present
administration is no more at
fault than those of the past 35
years, because there is no change
in the conditions during that
period.
No one can blame the water
company these days when the
possession of the mains and
water rights is in litigation. Why
should they lay out any great
sum for a chlorination system.?
' Nor can the city council be held
for the trouble. Everything is
being done that can be done ac
cording to law to secure ade
quate water supply for Seward.
The case will come to a hearing
early next month. Then the tax
payers will be called upon to
foot the bills for the purchase
and rehabilitation of an ade
quate water system for the city.
In the meantime, unusual
rains have made our drinking
water muddy. This is not the
first year it has happened. I can
remember griping about muddy
water at times ever since I came
to town. Otherwise I brag, just
as I have heard many others
brag, about the “good, cold,
clear” water in Seward when
talking to an Anchorage resi
dent.
Mr. Deering says that no mat
ter how good it tastes, he does
n't want to drink sewage. The
thing of it is that if it is sewage
and tastes good _ then I don’t
