PIPES NEEO FLUSHING
Gary Mains Thought to Be
Responsible for Poor
Drinking Water.

During the past few days the water
supply of the city of Gary has not been
up to the standard. Whether this is
due to the fact that the Lake Michigan
water has become contaminated with
the sewerage near the Glucose works
at Hammond. or that the water mains
need flushing is not known.
Gary Is a healthy city and has al
ways had a record as such. 1t is of
vital Importance that the drinking
water supply should be pure. There
are several cases of typhoid fever pre-
valent in the city at the present time.
The condition of the water at the
present time may be the direct cause
Of these cases OF typhoid fever
In order to take all necessary pre-
cation the water in the mains should
be flushed out at least every few weeks
as it was done in the beginning. The
water should not be allowed to be-
come stagnent and obnoxious to the
taste
The health Of the city should be con-
sidered above all things
