ONE CENT
WATER Is TERRIBLE.
Citizens Say City Water is Only Fit
to Battle In.

Much complaint is being heard all
over the city about the bad taste Of the
water. This is said to be caused by the
aalgoe weed making its appearance in the
Brandvwine.
The bad water had caused an increased
use OF ice and heavy demand for water
coolers.
The algoe weed is not poisonous or in
furious and there is no cause for alarm.
1t is predicted that if the present low
water In the Brandywine continues the
weed nuisance will continue to grow
greater. The filter does not remove the
taste. There is some talk of putting
chemicals into the water at the pumping
station to remove the taste.
Some east side citizens said last night
the water was only fit to bathe in and if
it continued to grow much worse it
would sicken one even to bathe in it.
