PUBLIC OPINION
Editor Evening News

Editor Evening News:
The new lenses attached to the lights
on the front of the trolley cars have
caused no little talk in town, and,
while they are very bright and enable
the motorman to see for long dis
tance along the track, they are very
glaring, and in many cases dazzling
to anyone riding or driving toward
the direction from which the car is
approaching.
Several complaints have been heard
since the introduction Of this new
arrangement, and while no one has
been heard to say that it is really
wrong to use them, many wish that
the old lights were in vogue.
| have had two or three narrow
esca pes from running down children
at night since the trolley people start
ed to use these new headlights, for
the glares is such that cannot see
before me, and, while have neither
met with nor heard of any accidents
resulting from their use, think they
should not be useo in this city. Out
on country roads they are all right,
but here in the city streets they are
altogether too bright, and, in my
opinion, should be modified or dis
pensed with.

Omcial Report of Alma's Water.
ATMA Ara 00th 100


To the Editor-The local Board OF
Health, acting under directions from
the state Board of Health, recently sent
several samples of water from different
parts of the town, and milk and water
from Mr.. Changers dairy to the state
laboratory for examination. The report
shows that samples from number Of
the wells are not safe to drink, especial
ly the shallow wells, until the water has
been boiled. The sample Of milk was
reported as not unsafe for use, although
the water from the same place would
have to be boiled before using, in order
TO render ii fit for drinking purposes.
In view Of these reports, the local Board
of Health wishes to strongly urge the
necessity Of boiling water for drinking
purposes and especially TO those who de-
rive their water from shallow wells
The state Board of Health has always
considered this necessary precaution,
and report from laboratory offers same
advice. LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH.
