Excerpt from Potable Water: How to Form a Judgment on the Suitableness of Water for Drinking Purposes, Addressed to Medical Officers of Health, and Sanitary Authorities, EtcNow that the public-health Act has conferred powers on Sanitary Authorities to institute proceedings with'a view to closing impure wells and other sources of supply, and has left the decision to the local magistrates, it becomes more than ever desirable that some standard should be set up as a guide in such matters. The bench of magistrates listening to the con¿icting statements of experts is like a rudderless ship at sea, without any exact knowledge to guide their decisions, or data upon which to form an opinion. It is hoped and believed that a consideration of the question conceived in an unbiassed Spirit may tend to reduce order out of chaos, and that here as in most other things common-sense will come largely to our aid.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
