Editor The Washington Herald:
A few reforms needed. and what should

could be called down and out.
Second-As worthless ours have long

harm, they should be taxed out of exist

the wells were destroyed il Is now plain
70 al that the said wells and pumps
should be restored 20 public use and a
health officer installed who knows more
