Dr. Lee Affirms Purity of Water

After careful analyses of the Cambridge water supply for the past two weeks, Dr. Roger I. Lee '12, M.D. '05, of the Department of Hygiene, yesterday issued a statement to the effect that there was no further necessity for boiling it before drinking.

Dr. Lee's statement follows:

"On March 22, 1920, in view of, some uncertainty in regard to the Cambridge water, a statement was made advising that the water be boiled. Since that time, the Cambridge water has been subjected to frequent careful analyses. These analyses have failed to show either that Cambridge water was unsafe, or that the Cambridge water differed at all from its usual condition at this time of year. In view of the fact that the analyses of the Cambridge water are now unusually satisfactory, and of the further fact that the general disturbances attendant upon thaws, etc., have subsided, there appears to be no further necessity for boiling the water."
