condttlon OF the streets bordering on lie
a aeM ore"ery site which would become

OF the companys property was made and

that the chain gang could be ussd h,,t
Mr. Heurich writes to the Commissioners

Lead Water Pipes.
Mr.. Robert w. Mcpherson writes to the
Commissioners today urging the amendment
of the plumbing regulations. He urges
especially the amendment of that section
requiring the use Of lead pipes. and incloses
a letter from Surgeon John s. Billings of
the army in which the latter holds that the
use of lead pipe to convey water from the
main into a private dwelling is not desira-
BILE from a sanitary point Of view. since
with certain conditions Of the water supply
ii would probably produce lead poisoning.
