EAST S|DERs
COMPLAIN OF
C6L0REO WATER

Many complaints have been made by
the residents of the east side on account
OF the drinking water I'm that section be-
ing slightly colored, some thinking that
something foreign had managed to fnd
its way into the Hope reservoir. The
water has strong hshy smell and
marked discoloration. due, II Is stated
To the presence OF asteronella and label
Iaria in the liquid According to Com
missioner Slade the more the water Is
altered. that is the purer It is. the mo'e
likelihood there Is for the diatoms to
thrive. Just where they originate or
how they spread is enigmatical
DR.. Chaplin says that cold weather VIII
not affect the diatoms unless there Is a
thick coating OF ice. which prevents me
diatomical 10 live. since Its being plant
necessitate pure air. which Is deprived IL
when the water is covered with ice.
The introduction Of sulphite OF copper
into the water would remedy this con-
dition, but would pronably raise a howl
OF protest from the consumers.
Dr. Chaplin says: Absolutely there II
no danger whatever in using the water
drawn from the Hope reservoir The
taste. the smell and the color OF the
water may be unpleasant. but it's use VIII
not affect health.
There is greater security in using
Pawtuxet water. which Is known TO be
ssnitariy safe, than there is In using
spring water. the purity OF which Is not
known and the source OF which has not
been subjected to critical analysis. There
is no telling whether the vessels In which
spring water Is placed have been ster-
ilized, or how cleanly are the habits OF
those who distribute the water.
"As to the diatoms in the Hope reser-
voir the public should be as cheerful and
exercise as much patience as possible.
The minute plants come and they go. and
in the natural course of events they WI
disappear from the reservoir Meanwhile
there may be n little consolation derived
from the saying OF the woman who was
visiting I'm Philadelphia and who had been

an insepsible condition and sent TO the
Chaffee street station, where he was
cared for by sergt. Bennett and it was
not until $50 this morning that the young
man opened his eyes and found that he
had been lying OH a plank instead OF his
bed at home.
He told the sergeant that he went to
the home OF his sister early in the after
noon TO attend a christening and TO cele-
brate the event took 10 large portions Of
whiskey. and at least 20 glasses OF beer.
The sergeant fitted the young fellow out
with a hat, but the hat was a very small
one and Franks head was much larger
this morning than over before. so the hat
was not OF much use TO him. and more
than that he kept warm going to the
central station this morning, trying TO
keep the hat on his head.
