Dr. Shnltz stated on Saturday that an effort would be made to have our hydrant water analyzed again by the State department of health, and that applioation had been made for containers in whioh to send in samples of water to the State laboratories. It is by no means certain that the response from the State department of health will be favorable. DR. DIXON'S ATTITUDE As is well known Dr.
