Gentlemen:

We are reporting herewith the bacteriological
analysis of the two samples from the swimming pool--one
marked “east end" and one marked "west end",

Both of these samples must be reported as in
bad condition, in that organisms of the coliform group
were found present in all of the five 10 c.c. portions
end in all of the three 1 c.ec. portions examined.

We would suggest that it may be desirable to
overhaul the water purification installation, including
the filter, and to provide for a reasonable chlorination.
There have been a great many complaints during the past
years with regard to overchlorination of the pool. We
believe it is possible to maintain the pool free of coli
and at the same time not maintain such a high chlorine
residual that the water is objectionable to bathers,

Very truly yours,

DIVIL TATION
