THE WATER QUESTION

Mr.. lies referred to the shortage of
water that occurred a few days ago
and said that the big mill is unjustly
accused of taking the water
Mr.. Marshall said the impression is
general that the big mill is taking
great quantities of borough water
President CIeaver said that in com
pany with others he had visited the
big mill and had been informed by
Superintendent Hecht that, unless he
were permitted TO use some borough
water, it would be necessary to shut
down the plant.
Water Commissioner Dallas Hum
mer reported that he has Investigated
matters at the big mill and is convinc-
ed that the company is unjustly accus-
ed, as he has discovered that the part
of only one stream is being used and
that the Reading Iron works is now
taking less water than formerly when
no shortage of water occurred.

WILL EXTEND
BOROUGH SEWER

With the recurrence of low water
the mouth of the borough sewer in the
river has become a source of much an
noyance and menace to public health
1t was the subject of action in the Dor.
ough council Friday night
The following petition to the bor-
ough council was read by the secre-
tary:
1--WE, the undersigned citizens and
taxpayers of West Mahoning and West
Market streets, hereby request that the
sewer terminating near the end of
West Market street be extended 300 to
400 feet into the current of the river.
On account of the deposit on the edge
of the stream the stencil about our
homes has become insufferable, while
at the same time our families are
gravely threatened and exposed to the
dangers of disease, which arise from
such a source. We, therefore, respect
full petition your honorable body to
give the matter your immediate atten-
tion and take such steps as will afford
quick and permanent relief. -
The petition was signed by forty.
three residents of the two above nam
ed streets.
On motion of Mr. lies seconded by
Mr.. Finnigan, it was ordered that the
petition be accepted and the request
comnlied with.
