BAD WATER SUPPLY.
Elizabeth City Wants Better Water
4 Gas Plant.

Elizabeth City, June S.-The Board
of Aldermen have adopted a resolu-
ton relative to it's water supply. Gre
ating a committee to investigate the
bad water conditions and re-
port to the board whatever action
they deem advisable, whether looking
to a recession of the contract held by
the water and power company. or the
proper method of compelling the COM
pany to perform its part of the con-
tract.
The following paragraph is taken
from the resolutions:
"The said Elizabeth City Water and
Power Company has failed to furnish
an adequate supply of good, whole
some, potable water suitable for all
domestic purposes to said corporation
of Elizabeth City, and the citizens
thereof, as it agreed and CONTRACTED
to do, and we believe that the health
of our citizens is greatly endangered
by the use of the water furnished"
A Northern gas concern asked for
a franchise to construct and operate
a gas plant in this city He said his
clients within twelve months would
build a plant to cost not less than
$4,000. A committee was appointed
