City water tests spark costly inspection plan
City bacteriologist Dr C E Ferguson reports the water to be pure but the health board orders further testing. An expert, George W Fuller of New York, is contracted to join Ferguson in a study funded in part by the water company. Fuller, noted for Louisville water work, may require substantial expenses as the city weighs a broader survey starting Tuesday. The Riverside station survey is set to begin with permit questions still unsettled. A recent sample showed limited contamination with one typhoid case recorded and no many illnesses yet reported.
