(From Page 1) are responsible for the fecal coliform contamination. Stump earlier this month asked l^imanna to further study the possibility A previous test found no such source but l^imanna agreed to try another Because of a thunder storm, the Health Department did not test bay waters near Cox Hall Creek last week. Stump became suspicious of the fecal coliform counts recorded the week before, however Water samples were tested then from six bayside sites on either side of the creek mouth Taken at low tide, those tests in dicated one high and one boarder line sample north of the creek and low readings off the creek and south of it TOURING THE AREA last week. Stump reasoned that — because of the low tide — any contamination from the creek should lx» detected south, not north, of its mouth

The highest reading. 180 MPN. was recorded neiir the Wildwood Avenue jetty in the Highlands Beach section of Villas. 1 1 4 miles north of Cox Hall. With a wide sand spit at low tide, that location attracts hundreds of gulls which. Stump suspected, might contribute substantially to the fecai coliform count That's one of the reasons he asked the Health Department to try the Fecal Coliform Fecal Strep Ratio test Laman na. though, said he'll go further than that Noting a drainage pipe at the Wildwood Avenue jetty, he said he's called for dye tests there to trace any illegal connections to it from sanitary sewers "If the indicators show a problem, we want to break it down," Lamanna said "We're hoping to have the whole thing done by the end of June.
