Endangers General Health

Members of your body visited the
old city lake yesterday and found
that rank growth of weeds lines the
shore-line to the present water edge
and that after each rain as the water
rises it covers some of this vegetation
which results in the water being con-
tamlnated with organic matter which
is dangerous to the community and
may at any time cause an epidemic oe
sickness TO the people of the city.
Further. that there is only q few
feet more of water now in the lake
than at its lowest stage.
We are convinced that the pipe lire
in its present condition will stand
all the pressure required of it carry
ing water to the pumping station ana

the sense Of our directors and the
water committee that you do nothing
to jeopardize the rights of the city
in connection with the contract with
the Ardmore Construction Company,
yet we do recommend that you make
no further tests of the pipe line
because of the conditions above rc
cited. That the city attorney be in
structed to prepare such legal waiver
of this clause in the contract, that 4.
does not abrogate any of the other
conditions of said contract.
We wish further to call your at
