WATER TASTES BAD.
People are Complaining and Some
Cannot Use It.

All about the 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 distasttfu that a
NUM- y Of people have said they cannot
drink TN
The contlkion OF the water is said to
be caused by vegetable growth in the
race which the Water Department ofiic-
ials say is not unhealthy though il does
impart an insavory favor. A great
number of people think some measures
should be taken to remove the growth
from the race but the creek for
miles is filled with it and there seems
no way of remedying the matter at pres
ent.
Workmen in the large shops of the
city are more affected by the condition
of the water than others. At the Nc
Culough Iron Works the men cannot
drink the water and the only way they
can get good water is to melt ice. 1t
is said that if the water does not get
better in short time the place will have
to be shut down for time.
