Dear Mr.. Villermin: Bacteria

sent by you, June 18th, show that

safe for portable purposes. W.

H0yIDg that You will keep care.
fnl watch to see that your plant
continues up to standard, | am,
Yours very truly,

New iberia, June 2Oth. 1917.
To the Board Of TRUSTEES,
Gentlemen: / call your atten-
ton to the above letter, addressed
to my office by Doctor Oscar
Bowling, and ask your assistance
IN keeping the water up to stand
ard; by SO doing You will have
greater pressure during the dry
weather than we have been able
10 MAINTAIN.
There seems to be some misnn.
derstanding IN regard to the free
use Of City Water from the fire
plugs. 1t has been my aim to as
sist In furnishing water when
called upon to do 90; find that 1t
10 not the amount OF water that is
used that causes the deficiency,
but hytlrants left open during the
day with the water flowing IN the
dram bitches to no advantage to
any one, that causes the filter to
be overworked; and when a
greater amount Of water Ia filtered
than ls necessary, the chemicals
nsed are in amount greater, the
coal consumed ia more than should
be. / would ask that the Police
Officers be instructed to furnish
water when requested to do 80,
and to close the fire hydrants
whom not needed. Besides lower
INK the quality Of the water, 1t is
against the Insurance regulations,
% pointed out by the La. Fire
Prevention Bureau, to use fire
hydrAnts without great precau
ton. Respectfully yours,
L +. VILLERMIN.
