NEW ROCKFORD TO
BUILD SOFTENING
PLANT FOR WATER
Ground is Broken for $4,000
Addition to Water Works
System

New Rockford, N. D., May T.
Ground was broken here last week
for new water softening plant as
part of the municipal owned water
system which will have a capacity
of $1,000 gallons an hour and will
cost $4,000.
The building will be 3S by 70 feet
and will be two stories high. Hydrate
of lime and sulphate of iron will be
the chemicals used in the plant to
soften the water All of the water
is obtained from wells and its only
Objectionable feature has been its
hardness. The softening plant, it is
believed. will remove this objection.
The city built it's water works in
1914 and the system is being en-
larged to meet growing needs and
kept modern in every respect assur-
ing water consumers a splendid sup
ply of pure clean water. The water
softening plant will be completed in
three months. 1t was designated by
T. r. Atkinson of Bismarck.

TAKEN TO COURT

Commissioner Charges Milling

Fargo, May 1.-Dr. E. F. Ladd. as
pure food commissioner. has started
action against the Russell-Miller Mill
ing company for violation of the
statute prohibiting the sale of bleach
ed -four in this state. Papers in the
case will be served in few days and
it is expected that the trial will be
held before justice of the peace in
Mandan within the next week or so.
Dr. Ladd charges that the Russell
Miller Milling company has been sell
ing bleached -four in this state late
ly. DR.. Ladd also charges that the
companys advertisement is misleading
in that it advertises that the -four
sold is manufactured from only North
Dakota No. l hard wheat. when as a
matter Of fact. he charges, from 40
to so per cent of soft winter wheat
is mixed for -four grinding purposes.
1t is the contention of DR.. Ladd
that the bleaching process deterior.
ates the -four and enables the miller
to impart a misleading color to an
inferior grade.
