BLOOMFIELD WATER
HAS A FISHY TASTE.

Residents Of Bloomfield are complaining
In use. They declare that they are unable
to drink the water as 1t has a most decided
flavor of fish. Fish is all right as food
they say, but when it comes to drinking it
why it is a different thing altogether.
Some think that perhaps some fish from
the Passaic River have in some manner
entered the pipes. In the meantime the
saloonkeepers have doubled their orders in
the breweries expecting a big rush. 1t will
also be an excuse for some who have been
on the water wagon" for awhile to
off.
The fault, the authorities say, is in the
local water system. A sample has been
sent to Trenton for analysis by DR.. j.. c.
Sale.
