MANY FATHERS IN
 ClTY'S WATER SUPPLY
RoseIand Lake Has Become Known as
 the Municipal Bath Tub.

This summers pr.ctice of making ] of Roseland lake, in the town of Woodstock, what has been termed a municipal bath-tub'' Is arousing 9 1 conside-able storm of criticism in this l city, the water supply of which comes down from the lake. l Hundreds are now bathing in the 1 fake from day to day and it is felt | that the health of the city is endanger- | cd by the practice. FTomathe lake to the intake of the filter beds the dis : tance is approximately a mile. but whether any combina tion of the water ing in it would be eliminated in the Altering process is a question of concern in the minds of many. Roseland lake presents the finest bathing opportunities in this vicinity and it is for that reason that the practice Is so popular with many who go from Putnam there for the pur- pose indicated. .s
