Health Officer H.. A. Wall, with
Water Superintendent Paul Saw

August Taylor, today began a sys-
tematic examination of the Green
river watershed.
The trip was planned hastily
yesterday afternoon. The health
officer, with his two companions
donned old clothing and took a
train for Nagron, near Lester.
Today they began systematic
investigation of sanitary condi-
tions.
The trio were reported at noon
as having walked 20 miles since

Special Investigation was to
have been made at Pages mill.

Assistant Water Supt. Kunigk
today reported that a chemical
test had failed to show any chem

leaves affected by the blight.
Following an article in The
Times Tuesday, telling of a
blight of flowers, shrubs and
grass near South 18th street and
Ainsworth ave., two similar re-
ports were received today from
other parts of the city.
In one instance a woman who
drank copiously of city water Sat-

supposed to have occurred, be-

The blight has caused leaves
and flowers to turn brown. IN
some instances It has eaten away
the substance of leaves and petals,
leaving only the veins.
The water department unof-
ficially announced that 1t was
positively certain that no con-
tamination OF water had caused
the blight on 18th street. But IN
hour after this announcement
Mrs. ] G. Triska, 800 South 35th

MAYOR
AFTER
DRAKE

Declaring that the payroll of
the light and water department
for July amounted to only few
dollars less than $25, 600, and
that the sum was eXorbitantly
high, Mayor Fawcett today indi-
Gated that he would demand an
investigation of expenditures in
brakes department.
Fawcett expressed belief that
the payroll was larger than 1t ever
had been before in July.
THE water and light depart
ment is sustaining, and for that
reason there is far greater tend
ency in it towards extravaganza
said the mayor.
Il believe that thousands of
dollars are being squandered in
that department each year
through extravaganza and an
overabundance of employees.
I'm going to make private
investigation, and then probably
will ask the council to investi-
gate.

law had fulfilled all the claims for

Under this law, said Williams,
there have been vast number of

Contrary to lay, and some med

WE PROPOSE A NOVELTY-THAT
YOU READ CITY'S ADVERTISEMENTS

Today for the first time since The Times became
the city's official paper, we are printing large
number of legal notices.
We suggest to our readers that they READ
these advertisements.
That is why the city pays to have them pub
lished.
And beside, they are interesting, in a way. I'M
der their thick veneer of legal verbiage they con-
tain a record of civic advancement.
Somewhere in their multi-paragraphed mazes
each and every citizen will find some provision

edge of that possibility ought to add an element
of adventure to the exercise.

The Germans have taken lin

1t Is possible the Slav garrison

They declare that from tho

sweep all the western approaches

not be entirely evacuated until

sian army has entered the new

the dope-fiends with decreasing
amounts of the narcotics until
many cures have been effected.

THE PAYMENT OF MONEY, OF
INTEREST TO EVERYONE

A few days ago the Puget Sound
State Bank had a little advertise
ment in the Tacoma Times calling
special attention to the facilities
offered through its Collection
Department.
Such ready response was given
to this announcement that the
Bank not only wants to express its
appreciation, but again desires to
call attention to the fact that 1t is
much more convenient to the
payer of note, or the holder of a
note to have same placed In the
Puget Sound State Bank. than to
have the note lying around the
house, and then when the man
goes to pay, the holder is away
