has been present in his family continu-
ously since last spring All members

origin of this fever" said Capt. Pigue.
"It comes from the output of the sewers
which is dumped on the lake shore
high and dry. One sewer emptieS al
most directly in front of my house.
Early in the summer this was remedied
some by being carried out a little dis
lance over the lake and emptying into
the water. But the damage had been
done to my family before the change
while the sewer contents were be-
ing emptied on the beach. AT times
the stencil was SO bad we had to leave
the house. The school sewer is less
than a block north and all during the
school season it, too, emptied onto the
beach There are several others empty
ing on the beach. 1t is an outrage
have reported the matter to the mayor
and council, but no attention has been
Maid to my appeals. Another matter
that should be looked into by the CITY
is the condition of the Cash water pipes
They are never flushed, and at times
the water at the lower end OF town Is
black with filth. The city should com
pei the flushing of these pipes. Capt
Pigue is right. The city council mas
the mower and should enact ordinances
= .kn,ra in these matters.
