CAUSE OF THE BAD WATER.
Health Commissioner Gives an Opinion
and Asks Investigation.

and Asks Investigation.
In his report for June to the city
council Health Commissioner e. q.
| Craig, Jr., says:
During the past month there has
been at times an offensive taste and
odor to our city water. We have in
vestigated the matter as thoroughly
as our opportunities would permit
and, while we have not a fully ma
tured opinion, l am inclined to the
belief that it is due to swamp water
in the Mississippi river. l would re-
spectfullv advise, however, that the
inlet pipe be tested to ascertain be-
yond a doubt that our water. comes
from the main channel of the river
and not from the slough. 1 can inn
agine the possibility of RATS, boats
or ice catching upon the inlet pipe
and disjointing it.
This bad taste and odor might
not be noticeable if the water were
pumped directly into the mains, but
when it lies in the reservoir perfectly
still, and exposed to the sun several
days, a different stage of decomposi
ton is developed, which, l think
would account for the condition of the
water
.'At the time water was at its worst
there had been no heavy rains north
of US for two or three weeks. the
river was low and falling and the
swamp water was pouring into the
channel from both sides of the river
above us. At this time, the water
Il . kA ii
basin, and the basin drained off. The
bottom and sides of this basin were
found to be perfectly clean, and the
water drained from the other basins
was apparently good, which demon
strates, / think, that time and expos
ure to the sun are necessary factors
for the complete development of the
bad taste and odor.
This is serious affair. If it be
from a break in the inlet pipe it can
be easily rectified, but if due to swamp
water il is liable to recur at any time
in hot weather where the river is low
and falling. To cover the basins
would probably retard decomposition.
but it would lessen aeration, to take
the water from another basin pre-
vents proper sedimentation, there |
fore in either case we are deprived of
the full benefit of the reservoir.
mo trouble of this kind exists at |

had the reservoir system, but with |

consequently the water is not stored |

MUST SHOW STAMPS,
Mr.. Daugherty, internal Revenue
Collector, to Prosecute
All Violations.
INSTRUCTIONS TO HIS DEPUTIES
They Are to Report All Offenders
to Hin-.What the Law
Provides.

The deputy internal revenue col
lectors find many retail liquor dealers
in the district who are violating the
law by failure to display their tax
stamps in a conspicuous place in their
establishments, as the law requires.
The law is as follows:
Every person engaged in any
business, avocation or employ ment.
who is thereby made liable to spe-
cial tax. except tobacco peddlers,
shall place and keep conspicuously in
his establishment or place of business
stamps denoting the payment of said
special tax; and any person who shall,
through negligence, fail to so place
and keep said stamps, shall be liable
to penalty equal to the special tax
for which mis- business rendered him
liable, and the costs of prosecution;
but in no case shall said penalty be
less than SO. And where the
failure to comply with the foregoing
provision of law shall be through
willful negligence or refusal, then the
penalty shall be double the amount
above prescribed"
In many instances the demand of
the deputies for a display of the
stamp has been met with insolent re-
plies, and after the departure of the
deputy the stamp has again been con-
cealed.
The deputies have been instructed
by Collector Daugherty to hereafter
report for prosecution all persons
found violating section 3,239 by fail
ure to display their stamps as the law
requires

he arrested the village druggist, Hen

tail liquor stamp, but failed to keep

cause Maquon is temperance town.
He was taken before Commissioner
Grant. at Canton. where he was bound
over in 500 to await the action of the
grand jury. He gave bail.
