Chlorination
tMnce
Rupert's
Water
Will
Not
Be
Taken
Without
Protest
Judging
from
general
comment
to
be
heard
around
the
city,
there
is
little
willingness
to
submit
without
protest
to
the
edict
of
the
federal
8
ment
that
the
city
water
supply
here
should
be
o
chlorinated.
Possibly,
a
popular
summation
of
pub-0
lie
opinion
is
the
view
as
expressed
this
morning
hv
City
Commissioner
D.
J.
Matheson
who
asserted
that,
as
far
as
he
knew,
the
water
of
this
city
was
pure
and
already
adequate
steps
had
been
taken
to
ensure
against
its
contamination.
Mr.
Matheson
further
expressed
the
opinion
that,
if
it
came
to
a
point
where
chlorination
was
to
be
resorted
to,
the
city
should
not
be
called
upon
to
bear
the
cost.
A
communication
received
recently
from
R.'G.
o
Wodehouse,
deputy
minister
of
pensions
and
na-
0
tional
health,
advised
the
city
that
it
had
become
1
necessary
to
ensure
that
water
supply
systems
g
throughout
Canada
do
not
become
impure."
From
g
reports
received
by
the
department,
the
minister
of
g
health
had
deemed
it
advisable
to
request
the
city
I
to
take
such
steps
as
may
be
necessary
to
ensure
g
that
water
supplied
by
the
city
should
be
of
safe
I
qua!itvt
all
times
including
the
complete
chlorin-g
ation
of
all
water
offered
for
human
consumption
1
within
the
area
of
the
city's
jurisdiction.
s
The
cost
of
installation
of
chlorination
equip-
0
ment.
in
the
recent
water
system
here
is
estimated
8
a
510.529
with
an
annual
cost
of
$3,600
for
oper-
g
aing
it.
It
is
thought
that
an
enlargement
of
the
vater
supply
which
has
now
become
necessary
will
2
increase
the
cost.
