Cannot Use It.

All about tile city are heard complaints
of the bad taste of the drinking water.
The water has not been good for nearly
two weeks and is so distastefnl that II
number of people have said they cannot
drink it.
The condition of the water is said 10
be caused by vegetable growth in the
race which the Water Department Ollie
ials say il not unhealthy though it does
impart an insavory flavor. \ great
number Of people think some measures
should he taken to remove the growth
from the race but the creek for
miles is filled with it and there seems
no way Of rcmcdying the matter at pres
cnt.
Workmen in the large shops of the
city are more affected By the condition
of the water than others. At the Ne

drink the water and the only way they
can get good water is TO melt ice 1t
