Suming up of the situation, with detailed IRIU endations in each case, is contained tn the final re- gpor-t. of "A Sanitary Survey oi the oyster bed areas 1n the vicinity of Charlottetown, P. E 1., June-July, 1933" which has been tabled in the Legislature. I The full text of "the report fol- lows:- In accordance with instructions, a survey of the oyster beds in nnd a- round the estusrlal waters of Char- lottetown was conducted by Dr. N. Mach. Harris, Chief, Laboratory of Hygiens, Mr. Jos. Gibbard, Bacter- uologrst, and Mr. G. H. Ferguson, Chief Sanitary Engineer. The party arrived at Charlottetown on the evening of June 23rd, and the fol- ilowing discussion and report. deals only with that portion of the sur. vey conducted by Dr. Harris and Mr. Glbbard. On June 24th. s call was paid on Mr. S. T. Gallant, Flslrexles Inspec- tor. Mr. Gallant explarncd the sit- uation from his standpoint and ad- .vl.sed us as to the extreme limits beyond which oysters are not fish- ed. A call was also mode at the oi fice of Mr. W. E. Hyndmnn, Resid- ent Engineer, Department of Pub- lic Works, and, although he was absent, certain data were obtained from his assistant relative to tides. etc. Dr. P. A. Oreelmsn, Medical Superintendent of the Provincial ‘Ssnatorium and Acting Officer of Health of the Province, was then interviewed and arrangements ‘completed for the assignment of ‘laboratory space and equipment in ‘the ssnatorfum. A courtesy call was made on Dr. W. J. P. Mac- Mlllan, Acting Premier and Min- ister of Public Health. Dr. Creelrnan vcry kindly placed an automobile at our disposal to facilitate the purposes of the sq;- vey. The balance of the day and the day following were spent in the Preparation of culture media and the arrangement of equipment r :- Dh-raiory to bowlnnrng the survey. On June 2611, n second cull was made upon Mr. Hyndmsn and ar- rangements completed for the use .01 the Public Works launch and crew. General Remarks Before taking up the outline of the details of the survey, 1t might be well to comprehend the general conditions in and about Charlotte ‘town and the estuarlal waters to {which the survey applied, namely, ithc Hlllsborough, or East River; the York, or North River; and the .Eliot, or West River. These three yPiVQP-i unite to form Charlotte- town Harbour, which is connected directly with Hlllsbsrough Bay, (Straits of Northumberlnnd), by means of a relatively short and narrow Channel. The City of Char- lottetown is located on a peninsula separating the Hiilsborough and York Rivers. The sewage of this city oi 13,000 inhabitants is dls-iB. serogenes were fished to dufl- ‘ charged into the harbor, and on either a rising or s falling tide is thoroughly churned up. This water so contaminated by sewage is, und- | er the impulse of an incoming tide, , carried up the rivers in varying de- greea of dilution, particularly strong however, in the North River and in ithe East River, leading to s hlghlyi 11% 1 dangerous pollution of the oystcrilowing media for final identifica- rrr'..-‘ beds. 1p addition, we formed theition: opinion that tho watrrs flushed out con tam mated through the Hiiisborough Channel on fin ont-, flowing tide have a tendency turn on sn in flowing tide, doubtedly with some degree nf l-i ‘i? ution. Proof of’ such a condition was later on secured in the finding of B. coll, fecal type, in lcc. quantities in s sample of water taken approxi- mately two hours after the tide had set in. llr. G. H. Ferguson. Chief Banlt- ary Engineer, inn \,".\ied the ren- ersl sanitary azptls thoroughly and will report thereon in s separ- ate communication. At this point it might be well to martian that in conducting s bac- teriological investigation of such polluted waters, it is quite impos- sibls to detect the presence of dis- sass-producing bacteria. such as the typhoid bacillus.

Again, this Department is in f0- oeipt of s communication from Dr. O. O. Waller, Assistant surgeon General, U, S. Public Health Ser- vice, ru which the followlnll til-is- ment is made: “In the study of growing areas. we found that the summation of the shellfish themselves is 918M46- ally worthless and may he mislead ing. Safety of growing areas is de- termined by sanitary surveys, stud- ies of tide, wind and current action and bacteriological examination of lcc. quantities. (Bee Table I). One e the overlying water under varying conditions of wind and currents." l Sampling Itinerary On June 27th the survey party proceeded up the North River, on h rising tide, to the bridge, at which point the large launch was anchor- ed and g smaller boat taken to s point about 1 1-2 miles north of the bridge and water sampling oonduc‘ ". The same trip was a- gain taken between 6.30 and 8.30 P» m. the same day, in order to ob- tain samples on a falling tide. On June 28th, a water sampling trip was conducted during a rising zde on West River, and 0n Julie 1th another trrp was made over .he same ares in order to obtain samples on a falling tide. On June 30th, s collection trip was made up the East River as for as Mount Stewart and samples col- lvcted on a. rising tide. A second .rlp for samples on a faillnl U40 was made 0n July 3rd. On this lat ts-r trip four samples of oysters and tzrrec of water direqtly overIYl-“l; the oyster beds were also collected. Jorncrdently. on this date one of the party made a trip 11D NOYilI and West Rivers for oysters, using another motor launch, when eight samples of oysters and five samples l of water over the oyster beds were secured. The actual survey was complet- ed on July 8th, at which time the party left for Ottawa with a full wmplement of sample cultures for intensive study. Since that time. several thousand separate deter- minations have been conducted on these cultures, the final details of which are appended. in tabulated form. A total of 63 water samples were collucted and analyzed and a to- tal of 120 oysters selected from l2 localities. In addition, 19 watcr samples were analyzed for Mr. O H. Ferguson from the water sup- plies of Charlottetown. side, Georgetown and Murray 39-1“ bor. Analytical Technio ‘I'll-e technic of analysis of water Slmplrs is outlined as follows: Each water sample (uniced) was analyzed within from two to six hours after collection.

One sample collect-i ed on s hiring tide showed the presence of B. coll, fecal type, in sample collected, on a vigorous in- flowing tide, in the contra of Hills- borough Channel, which connects lrllllsborough Bay with Charlotte- town Harbor, showed the prvssence of B. coll, fecal type, in lcc. quan- tities. (See Table 4). l Oyster Examinations One hundred and fifty oyster. were collected from 12 different locations. (See Table '1), and at the snme time samples of the overlying waters were obtained, (See Table S». The technic of the oyster an- uiysis was as follows: Ten oysters were $9165.66 from each lot, eliminating those wj 1 broken shell edrrs, and thoroughly scrubbed free of mid in water to which twenty to forty p. p. m. of chlorine had been added. The pre- tence of available chlorine w. s controlled by the ortho-tolldlne test, After this cleansing process. they were then placed in s. water containing five to ten p. p. m. of chlorine and allowed to stand for approximately 15 minutes. They were then removed and the chlor- ins neutralized by placing them in water containing about five per ‘ cent solirrm thlosulphatc, then thor- oughly washed with running tap water and rinsed off with freshly distilled water. They were then placed on clean towels and allowed to air-dry, Bach oyster was care- fully opened with a sterile oyster knife and the liquor drained into s large-mouthed sterile bottle. Each sample analyzed is therefore the ‘Iresult of the pooled liquors of 10 oysters. Dilutions of the liquor were made in two per cent sollum chlordlne solution. As was to be expected, the. results of the analysis of oysters was not upon the whole thorough- ly satisfactory or clean-cut. This fact has been emphasized and re- ported in the literature, wide‘ supra). The results of these examina- tions of oysters (See Table 7), de- monstrated the presence of B. c011. fecal typo, in four samples and B. coll, non-focal type, in three; 1n addition B. serogencs and a pro- bsble B. proteus were also identi- fied. Further, s total of sight water sarrrples, (See Table 8), were col- lected directly over the beds from which the oysters were tonged. Five of these showed the presenrn of B coll, fecal type, one B. c011. mn- ‘fecai type, and one B. clzwz e Bnrnma y Finally, to sum up tho Wirolr srt- . nation, fifty, or 19.3 per cent, of the 63 water samples taken in the 0y:- tcr fishing areas showed the pres- ‘, once of B. coll, fecal type. Twenty‘ lfour, or 88.1 per cent of water samples showed the presence of B. roll, fecal type, in l cc quantities Therefore, none of the estuarlnl waters in and around Charlotte- town can be considered as being absolutely safe. It may be thought allowable, however, that certain sections might he considered as fairly satisfactory st certain s96!!- lal tlmcs of the year when oysters hibernate. In mspect to this con- dition the following quotation is‘ made from the report of the "Sub-I committee on methods for the Art- ificial Purification of Shollfrsh by Heat or by Chcmirol or Biological Procvvrs", iU. S. Public ilvaith Scrvrcol.
