WATER QUESTION ~AR0USES CAPITAL IMPURE WATER FURNISHED CON ,SpMERS CAUSES OFFICIALS
 TO TAKE ACTION.
FAVOR CITY OWNING PLANT
In Any Case, Citizens Want Arkansas River Abandoned as a Source
 of Supply.

Western Newspaper Cuion Ne5.s service
 Little Rock.-The capital city is very much agitated al the present ltnle over the water question. This Is due 10 the fact that the Arkansaw Nater Co. which owns franchise has been unable to furnish tle con. sumerS with pure drinking water At one time the water furnished to the consumers was so muddy and bad that even stock refused 10 drink the mix. ture.
 This condition of affairs lasted for several days and the people of Little Rock are still boiling the water or buy Ing water from owners of springs and wells. The necessity of boiling the water caused a big increase in fuel consumption which was costly b the water user, besides having to pay for the water
 The city officials of Little Rock have taken action in the matter by apply. ing for receiver of the local com pany on the grounds the company has not fulfilled its contract to furnish pure water at all times
 There has been d great dpal of dis cussion among the citizens regarding the installation of d municipal plant, or for the city 10 buy the plant of the Arkansaw Water Co Those tsyo7- ing these methods of solving the pres ent uproblem would form the city into blanket Improvement ais,rict in order 10 obtain funds 10 take what ever action necessary.
 In any case it is advocated that the Arkansas river be abandoned as a sburee ot supply and that wells be dug irs~efder to secure pure water.
 A rumor was started in the city last week to the effect that typhoid fever vas becoming prevalent due 10 .he condition of the drinking water. this rumor was not confirmed by he Dhy sicians of the city who said there werP no more cases now than at the same time last year In all, there were only six known cases.
