This accentuates the need of a thoroughsystem of municipal control, and local quarantine regulations. Whilethe death rate from communicable diseases is small, yet the emer-gency for local control may occur at any time by reason of BELLEVILLES MUNICIPAL WATER AND LIGHT PLANT LIGHT PLANT, WATER INSPECTION. A water survey of Belleville disclosedthe existence of 75 wells and 245 cisterns. Forty-seven water sam-ples wer^ taken from the wells and the bacteriological analysis foundthe water from nine of these contaminated. This examination in-dicated, therefore, that per cent of the wells studied were amenace to health. In as much as Belleville has for the most part deep wells, thisaccounts for the low percentage found contaminated. The largenumbers of privy vaults and cesspools, and the absence of seweragewould otherwise produce a large amount of pollution. In most Kan-sas towns, the water supply is shallow, and sewage disposal is of thecrudest and most primitive sort. The result is a soil saturated withdangerous polluting material and a high typhoid and other entericdisease rate. The shallow well and the privy vault may well becalled the unheavenly twins, and Bellevilles good fortune
