REPORT MADE ON WATER USED AT IGE PLANT Is Free From Germs Now, But Is Is Felt That Well Water Should Be Used. Many complaints have reached the Telegram concerning the method of manufacturing ice at the new plant. This paper has forborne making anry comment, however, until fully ad- vised. The complaints are based on the fact that water from Lake Wire has been used in manufacturing the ice, When the plant was installed, three or four months ago, a deep well was provided to furnish water for the manufacture of ice for domestic pur- poses, but the well has never been connected up. Raw lake water is used for making ice for refrigerator purposes—icing cars, etc.; the water for ice for domestic uses is boiled and distilled, We have seen a report of analysis of both the raw and the distilled wa- ter, made by the State board of health, at the instance of Dr. R. R. Sullivan, chairman of the local health board. This report will be presented the City Council at its next meeting. It recites that neither sam- ple conteins any disease germs, and that ide made from it could not be a carrier of disease. Dr. Sullivan’s report, however, will strongly recommend discontinuing the use of the lake water for ice for domestic purposes. He states that while no disease germs are uow pres- ent:in the water it is liable to pollu- tion at any time from surface water running into the lake. It will cost something to install machinery to make the. water of the Geep well available, and it will also increase the factory’s operating ex- penses to pump this water; but we believe it should be done, regardless of this consideration. A competent physician declares there is some risk attached to using the lake water for ice for household purposes, and even if there were no risk, people will al-|° ways be dissatisflel and have a feel- ing of suspicion and fear. For this reason alone it will be good busi- riess policy for the ice company to remove this apprehension by getting water from an unequivocally pure supply.

Griggs, of Apala- chicola, has today presented to Presi- dent Wilson by Senator Fletcher, They urged the president to appoint N. J. Lillard, of Pensacola, a8 puba lic printer. Mr. Griggs is the first candidate in the teld for U. S. Mar- shal of the Northern district, to sue- ceed Marshal McGourin, who still has about a year to serve. ' It is possible that Pensacola will get a great navy floating 4ry dock, which the navy department is con- templating having built in the near future. In view of the expensive ex- perience of the navy with the dry dock at Pear] Harbor, Hawail, which recently collapsed, floating docks are receiving more consideration at the bands of the navy department, and the subject has come up in connece tion with improvements at the naval station, Guantanamo, Cuba. It is not expected, however, that Guantanamo will receive much ate tention as a naval base during the present administration, it being more likely that what is expended {n the way of navy yard development will be applied to the stations in the Southern States. Therefore, it a lioating Ary dock is built for use in time of emergency at Guantanamo, it will be kept regue larly at the navy yard at Pensacola, Fla., whence it could be transferred to the Cuban station when needed; or poselbly it would be based at New Orleans, in which deterioration of the metal structure would progress more slowly than in salt water. »The special naval board held a con- ference with Secretary Daniels before starting on its tour of inspection of Southern navy yards. This board ree ceived instructions some time ago te make a thorough inspection of the and recommend whatever improve- ments are necessary. ,, »Navy officials declare that with tho cpening of the Panama canal the New Orleans navy yard and the Pea« sacola yard will become the most ime portant naval stations on the Ate lantic seaboard, The special boar@ includes Rear Admiral John R.
