A BILL

For an Act imposing new and additional duties upon the State Water "Survey, and making an appropriation therefor. WHEREAS, The population of the State of Illinois is becoming more dense every year and therefore the necessity of an adequate supply of pure water for municipal and manufacturing purposes becomes more important; and WHEREAS, The general municipal supplies of,the State need constant and careful attention to prevent contamination and the spread of disease; and WHEREAS, The State Water Survey located at the University of Illinois is making analyses of water sent to it by citizens, but lacks the funds necessary to make personal visits to the various sources of water supply; therefore, SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly: That the State Water Survey be authorized and Tiereby instructed to employ such field men as may be necessary to visit water supplies and water sheds, to make such field studies and to collect such samples as are necessary, and to analyze and test these samples to the end that a pure and adequate public supply for each municipality may be maintained. SEC. 2. That the sum of twenty thousand dollars ($20,000) per annum, or so much thereof as may be necessary,, is hereby appropriated out of any money in the State treasury not otherwise appropriated, to be used for the payment of salaries or other compensation of the assistants and employes, and for such other expenses as may be necessary for visiting municipal water supplies, inspecting water sheds, and collecting and testing samples of water, and for making any investigations that will show how to best obtain or conserve an adequate supply of pure water in every section of the State.
