Wall issued an imperative re-
quest today that all users of
city water boil the water before
using il for domestic purposes.
With the Green river gravity
system shut off. owing to a huge
break in the pipe line. and the
city supplied with water from
wells that have not been pumped
for months, the city is being sup
piled with germ-infested water
that is dangerous to drink.
1--WE are getting anything and
everything in our water pipes to-
day." said DIR. Walls today.
There is no telling what sort of
an epidemic might develop II we
had to use this water for many
days. 1t is absolutely no trivial
matter.
