SPEED THE DAY When Sacramento Shall Have a Pure Water Supply. Result of the Analysis of Oak Park ; Water-The Stato Analyst Says It is Remarkably Pure. The fact has now been fully demon strated that Sacramento has not only an abundant supoly of water at her very doors for domestic purposes, but that it i«. a "remarkably pure" article. This is the language of State Analyst W. H. Rising, in his report to the Chair man of the Citizens' Water Supply Com mittee, which caused the experimental well to be bored at uak Park. Some ten days ago the committee for warded to the State Analyst a sample of the water taken from this well, lor analy sis. There has been no doubt in the minds ol all who have seen the vast vol ume of water pumped from the well a§ to the sulliciency of the supply, and re ally none as to its quality; but, without a complete analytical test, this latter point could not be positively determined. All doubt thereon has, however, been Bet at rest by the following communica tions received last night from State Analyst W. B. Rising. He sends the re sult of the analysis made of the water, showing an exceedingly—almost infini lessimal—low percentage of objectionable matter therein. The analysis is as fol lows: [CERTIFICATE OK ANALYSIS.] OFFICB OF STATS ANALYST,) Berkeley, December n. 1t.91. j Mr. A. Abbott, Sacramento: I have exam ined sample marked.

It cannot be denied that the river water comes from a pure and desirable source, and for many miles this side of Mount j Shasta it is as pure and healthful as any water on the face of the globe. Even here, at the lower end of the Sacramento Valley, it has the appearance (barring its discoloration, resulting from mining operations along the tributaries of the Sacramento) of being good water, and is certainly of good flavor during a fair uortion ofthe year; but the fact cannot be denied that it is subject to pollution from the moment it leaves its rocky channel through the mountains and debouches into the valley. lt is unnecessary to refer in det_.il to the many sources of pollution—they are known to our own people and to those of i every town and city throughout the length of the valley. There is no more potent nor insidious promoter of disease than the water used for drinking purposes—in nothing can I people be more readily deceived. Wheu- I ever, therefore, it becomes possible for a ! community to supply itself with water | from an unpolluted (and unpollutable) , source, such community remains blind to • its own interests blind to the welfare of ; Its people—if it fails or neglects to take i advantage thereof. Let every person who comes to Sacra mento know that he has to drink water of a quality that is as near absolute purity as any that can be found—not even ex cepting that which flows from the spririgs at the very base of Mount Shasta—and i that man will become, unintentionally perhaps, a Sacramento "boomer" wher ever he may go. Th re are other cities than Sacramento, in this State, which also possess great natural and commercial advantages—de sirable places, generally speaking, in which to live —but w rhose water supplies have received such a bad name abroad that even Sacramentans avoid them as they would pest-stricken localities. Unlike Sacramento, these».^ace. cannot better their condition in regr^cl to their water supplies, and must take the conse quences. Sacramento has had to do the same up to this time, but the door now stands open to her deliverance. Will her people profit by the oppor tunity ? Will they shake the heel of the Silurian from their necks? WEATHER NOTES.

The Board of City Trustees met yester day morning, and Mayor Comstoek opened the meeting by stating that the business was to be that of receiving bids for strengthening the old City Hall build ing and the supports of the water-tank. There were present at the meeting a number ot contractors and Architect Goodell. The Mayor stated that he had been in formed by one of the contractors, Mr., Kreuzberger, that tbe piles upon which* 1 • the foundation of the building rested had ; rotted away sixteen years ago and were !no longer of any use as supports. He asked Architect Goodell if he had made an examination of that part of the build ing. It might not be well, he thought, to do any work if the foundation was poor. Mr. Goodell said he had not examined the piling beneath tho building. The chances were that it had rotted consider ably, but he believed the foundation was good, from the tact that there had been no settling during the past two years. He knew this to be a fact. Bids were opened, and they were found* to be as follows: Silas Carle, 8o^5; Siller- Bros., §725; E. A. Bovyer, $725: Sprague 6i Elliott, §825; Thomas McCaffrey, 8620. On motion of Trustee McLaughlin, the contract was awarded to Mr. McCaffrey, with directions to commence work im mediately. A BID FOR THE DECAYING PILE. After this matter had been disposed of the following communication from J. B. Wright, Superintendent of the Sacra mento Division of the Southern Pacific Company, was read: '*Understanding that the city is desir ous of making a change in the location of its City Hall, and having brought the matter to the attention of this company, I am instructed by A. N. Towne, our General Manager, to offer your honorable body, in behalf of the southern Pacific Company, the sum of ?7,500 for the pres ent building and lot known as the "City Hall." Should this offer be accepted, the transfer is to be made as soon thereafter as convenient to yourselves." COULDN'T PART WITH IT. The board decided that it could not part with the building at present, and therefore could not entertain the propo sition. SMOKE-STACK ORDERED. J. A. Cunningham offered to make a new smoke-stack, seventy-five feet high, for the Y-street pump for $218. At Mr. McLaughlin's suggstion it was decided to authorize Mr. Cunningham to build the stack and place it in position. The Mayor thought a new grate had better be put in the furnace. Il could be done, he understood, for §50. No action was taken, however, in re lation to the matter. PERMITS GRANTED. Charles Anderson's petition for a license to conduct a saloon at 1017 Eighth street was received and his bond was approved. 1.. C.
