he has used continually There being
no sewer connection provided by the
city to carry off his sewerage he had
an old cistern hole fixed up with rocks
and into this hole he ran his pipe from
the water closets The accumulation
oc filth underground has ruined my
we'll OF water, which had the best wat
er on the hill, and also the water OF
my neighbors, Messrs. Stitzler and
Foster. The water is unfit to drink,
having a bad smell. | believe there
is an ordinance against pollution Of
drinking water by such means. Com
plant has been made several times
to the health officers but no relief is
granted / have to get my drinking
water from Mr.. l.. p. Anderson and
boil all the water | use out OF the

Respectfully, X. HERR.
