CITY WATER HAS BAD TASTE
Superintendent Corkery Says It Will All Pass Off by Today-Due to Stirring Up System by Shutting Off Stony Brook Line Saturday Repair Break-De- partment Nov Busy On Corning Road Extension

All over the city on Monday and Tuesday inquiry was made as to what caused an unpleasant taste in the city water, which some described as having a f1shy taste and others as vegetable flavor.
 When asked about 1t Tuesday eve ming Superintendent John J. Corkery said he had heard of the inquiries and that he ascribed it to the stir-up caused in the system by the neces- sity of shutting off the water on the Stony Brook pipe line on Saturday in order to repair g. break near Dun ham street. With the Stony Brook supply shut off. the water for the city was draughted from F'airview reservoir thus changing the direction of the supply and probably resulting in sending through the pipes a. lot of water that had been standing stag nant somewhere. The same condition had been noticed at other times, he said, when Stony Brook line had been shut off. and he believed that the trou ble would not be noticed after today.

VOTES TO CHANGE TO
 PLEDGE CARD SYSTEM.
Action Taken at Meeting of Park Con-
 gregationaI Church.


 At a meeting in the Osgood Memo rial parish house of Park Congrega- tional church on Tuesday evening it was voted to discontinue the pew rental system now in vogue and to substitute the pledge card system, provided enough pledges be secured to meet all expenses of the year, leaving no deficit. If the necessary pledges are secured, the old system will be abolished on July 1, when the new system will go into effect.
 It was the universal belief of those present at the meeting that the pledge card system is far superior to the old system. for it gives every member of the family a. chance to contribute, ac- cording to his means, to the support of the church, thus keeping them in close touch with the church work and pre- pairing the younger generation for val uable church workers in the years to come.
 The meeting was called to order by Oliver L.s Johnson, who presided l.. O. Smith of the church society ex- plained the merits of the new plan and he was followed by H. A. Tirrell and Grosvenor Ely, also members of the church society.
 Expressions were then asked for from the church members, and the several heard all spoke in favor of the change. It was moved that the change be made, and the motion prevailed. It was also voted that the seating ar rangement be left in the hands of the church society. Those now having pews will be allowed to retain them, put as vacancies occur those wishing peWs will be allowed to choose their Sittings. Pledge cards were distributed and number were signed.
 Miss Adelaide L. Butts, treasurer of the church, expressed her willingness to take charge of the pledge accounts and she was given rising vote of thanks.
 Refreshments of strawberries. ice cream and cake were served by the committee, Miss Amy Cogswell, chair man, Mrs. Henry T. Arnold, Mrs. L. O. Smith and Mrs. John F. Rogers, who were assisted by Miss Eleanor Norton. Miss Barbara Allen, Miss Mary Tirrell, Miss Henrietta Gallup, Sterling Watts and Leslie Fletcher.
