ing considerable trouble with the million

Il is pumped from an artificial slough
OF practically dead water In conse-
quence u has a most unpleasant taste.
Recently the health department made an
examination OF the source OF the supply
and discovered number OF dead animals
IN the stream. which were thereafter re-
moved. A chemist is TOW making IN
analysis OF the water.
During the year a large number of ex-
tensions have been made on the lover
levels OF the city. The hillside patrons
now claim they are unable 70 secure
water. The board OF public works claims
that the pumps are being run ar their
fun capacity and that the supply can
only be increased by putting in new
pumps and new line of mains 10 the
up-river station. The expense OF this
would be great. X is also claimed that
the city now uses al the rate of DO gal
tons OF water per capita per diem, which
is said 10 be over five times the ordi-
nary use in other cities.
