READING COUNCIL WARNED
State Health Department Says
Water System Must BE Approved

Reading, Pa, Dec. THE City
Council here will not be permitted TO
do any costly experimenting with the
city's water system, the State Hea tn
department says in an announcement
of semiofficial character made public
here. If the city wishes to install
it's proposed 5000 900 electric filtration
plant, modelled after one at Easton,
which is operated on n small scale, the
stare must first approve the plans. IL
must be worked on n large scale, ac-
cording to Colonel Edward Martin.
state health commissioner, who was
asked for n statement.
"Thc pronosition looks good" he
said. but it wi have to be demon
strated on large scale before the state
viii approve it.
NJ. l.. Stevenson, as chief engineer,
had no information on the proposed
water system for Reading. which has
stirred this city more than any other
municipal project for years. but from
ether sources it was learned the state
will require, before approving the plan,
that the company supplying the plant
set it up and demonstrate It without
cost to the city Of Reading. City Water
Engineer +. l.. Nuebling opposes the
pans. 1t il currently reported that
another man has been selected for his
position. in case he continues his op.
position to the electrical proposition.

possible to increase speed limits in favor
Of the man who drives carefully.

system Of two-way traffic is obsolete.
These were outstanding features In

driven from the streets II that end can
be accomplished. BY his reckless han :
ding Of motorcar. he endapgers the
lives of all pedestrians, and makes driv-
ing difficult for other motorists" said
Mr.. Mills. II expect to see the next
session Of the Legislature develop strin
gent laws which will give the police
ample latitude in taking care Of the
reckless driver"
He said the day of the two way street
was doomed, and added that there was
an ordinance which permitted the max &.
ing of all streets between Oregon and
Girard avenues and the two rivers one
way traffic streets.
Abolition Of the left hand turn was
defended and revision of traffic rule.
and setting aside Of wider streets for
heavy trucks we're advocated.
One Of the questions asked brought
up the traffic jam at the Academy OF
Music on the first opera night.
A man in the audience suggested set
ting aside a portion of Broad street for
