Report of Committee on Standard Methods of Water Analysis.

Your Committee No. 1, on Standard Methods of Water Analysis, begs to submit the following report of its work during the year ending June, 1929. The activities of Committee No. 1 have followed in a somewhat general way the plans outlined in the report presented at San Francisco in June, 1928. Certain studies have been made which have related to subjects which have come up during the year. The personnel remains the same as at the time of the preceding report. The activity of the Committee in several lines has not been as great during this year as during the year preceding. This has been due in part to doubt as to the procedure which the newly appointed Committee on Water Works Practice would desire. The activity required of several of the members, including the Chairman, in connection with their regular vocations, has also been responsible for some reduction in work.
