Dear Sir:

· I do not understand some

of

the relations in your

Campaign

Water

Analysis just received.

'Phe leg pipe

water

from

the two e't'a.porator condensers shows about the same amount

of total solids in eaoh oase, although the first condenser

ia

supposed to have city water in

it.

The solids in

the

water

from the second condenser looks low as compared with the solids

in the ditch water.

!l'he battery supply water has only six

parts solids and

it

does not seem that it could be this lo as

compared with the solids in the water from the first oondenser.

It

looks as

tf

your analysis

6:t

the water .from the first

con-denser must

b

.

e

wrong.

Vill you kindly oheok your figures and

· advise w~at explanation you can otter of the above 1noonsistenoies.

the

'

.'aters of

the

Evaporator

Condenser,

I have checked these fig,~res and have come to the

conclusion that both samples were no good

.

'.J

i

e ~'irst Condenser

had nothing

but City -;-

· ater

in

it and it should run less in

'.2otal Solids

than

City \'later

.

I believe

that

one

of my

Assistant

Chemists had the first and

Second Condensers

mixed

a.~d this of course

would

make the solids high in one and

lower in the other one than should be

.

'ille waters

were save-1 in two sets and both

sets

on the

first condenser were high in

S~lphates

.

1 believe that both

Condenser

Legs Analysis should

be rejected

.
