OBSERVATION AS TO WATER.
What are the people to do
In summer time the water supplied by
contract with the city is bad" and il
the spring, in the autumn and winter
months it stinks, and the only salvation
is the Red river.
Why not artesian wells?
Why not a system of cisterns?
Against the cisterns is raised the hand
of the State Board of Health.
Why?
Is there water better than the supply
which is obtained from the clouds?
But the answer is bugs" bugs invis-
ible. In medical words bacteria, germs,
etc, etc.
Why Red river?
A water such as comes from the Red
river, impregnated with alkalies which
corrode steel and iron is not, Or should
not, be good for human stomach, un-
less it can be purged and protected from
the corrosiOn Of the alkalies.
The water from the Red river, even If
filtered and clarified, will lead to the
arrangement of the human system, af-
fccting some with diarrhea and others
with constipation.
There is no issue or question which
appeals more forcefully and directly to
all classes of the people than water, and
it is time that the water question was
receiving serious consideration.
While all that is good and all that is
bad, in and about Shreveport, is being
given widespread publicity, let there fol
low some reasonable, substantial result
for the betterment of the whole COM
munity
This airing of thre milk supply, of the
source of the water, of lights and other
public needs, which are promotive ot
good health and the comfort of the peo-
pie is rousing the people to sitting UP
and taking notice" and when the people
are awakened and get busy there will
follow the remedials of the shortcom-
ings.
Nothing is SO easy as to find fault and
to criticise, but the faultfnder and the
critic should supply by suggestions-fe~
to improve conditions which can ant
must be bettered.
