Dr. Leslie L. Lumsden of Washington,
D. C, has arrived In the city to take up
an investigation of the Omaha water supJ
ply. Hla card bears the inscription, "U.
S. Public Health and Marine Hospital Ser
vice," and the first answer Dr. L'umsden
makes to a query is that for several years
be haa been one of a corps of Investigators
who have been giving careful attention
to healthful water supply for cities, among
other things.
As to the length of his stay, Dr. Lums
den Is not ready to fix a limit.
"Of course, I will first hav to study th
lay of th land. That mean to examine
th source of supply, see the pumping
stations, 'settling basins and reservoirs.
How long that will take, and how much
time will be consumed afterward in reach
ing a conclusion, I cannot say."
One thing that will have considerable to
do with the scope and thoroughness of Dr.
Lumsden's work, la the matter of expense.
The service with which he Is connected
pay all his ordinary expenses, but in
making such an Investigation aa hs ha
on hand here means a good deal of extra
expense thst either the city or Water
board must stand.

the oxychlorld of lime process 1 la opera
tion. He found that while th process
does nop make the water absolutely pur.
It does materially improve its character.
Dr. Langfeld is ef the opinion the Ideal
system of securing pure wter will b a
combination of sedimentation, filtration
and the use of tho oxychlorlde of lime.
Until this perfect system Is reached he be
lieves boiling and sterilisation will always
be more or lesa necessary.
Dr. Leal expects to be In Omaha to get
