The object of Ford's lawyers In in

that ownership of stock in the Standard

One deposition showed that Mrs. Ruth

STATE BOARD
OF HEALTH
IN WARNING
Hammond Must Purify It's
Drinking Water Or
State Will Act

That Hammond should get busy fig-
uring on filtration plant in connection
with the waterworks is the information
brought from the State Board of Health
by DR.. Buchanan to the Hammond city
council. DR.. Buchanan. as secretary Of
the Hammond Board OF Health. has been
receiving complaints from Indianapolis
regarding the condition of the drinking
water supply. The state board has
taken the stand that where cities neg
lect 20 care for the water supply. the
state will take charge of things and
the city VIII still have the bill 10 pay
While the proposed sanitary district
would improve matters greatly. II Is
considered too distant, as relief must
be had as soon as possible A ultra
ton plant offers the only solution al
present as the water is so flthy with
decayed matter and sewage that the
chlorine treatment cannot have he de-
sired effect. According to DR.. uchan-
an. the state board has practically in
sisted that a filtration plant be ruilt
and unless steps are taken BY Hsm-
mond in that direction the authorities
at Indianapolis will take direct super
vision of Hammond's health affairs and
order the plant constructed.
This will mean the expenditure Of
about 100000, according to figures re-
ceived by Mayor Brown. providing the
plant be purchased under the prevailing
prices. He says that plant of this
type under normal conditions could
probabfy be put through at cost cf'
about s275.o0o.
Hammond's water has been bad so
long that people have come to consider
