To Be Clearer
LIVE FISH ARE FOUND

City water was expected to be
clearer by night as result of the
work of cleaning the reservoirs of
the water company, which was begun
yesterday morning by the city. With
in two or three days it is expected d
the job will be complete and the wa

factory. George Doorley, in charge of
the work, told The Tribune , this
morning.
Workmen cleaned the center res
ervoir yesterday, finishing last eve.
ming, Mr.. Doorley said In this res
ervoir. he said, was 8 to 10 feet of
mud. 1t was not considered as bad as
the west reservoir. The center reser-
voir was cleaned out but not washed
out, he added, because the water in
the east reservoir, from which the
city is supplied, was getting low and
it was necessary to keep water pour
ing into the city mains.
Today water was going into the
center reservoir and then into the
east reservoirs and into the mains.
The west reservoir, on which work
was started today, was the worst Of
the three, he said, stating there was
about II feet Of mud in it and only
about four feet of water. This res
ervoir contains the mixing chamber,
where chemicals are introduced, and
1t is regarded as especially important
that it be in good shape.
The east reservoir, Mr.. Doorley
said. is in pretty good shape. and
probably will not be cleaned at this
time.
There were some live fish and u
few frogs found in the center reser-
voir, he said. There were no dead
fish or frogs. and the dirt in it wos
river silt and nothing more, he add

QUICK ACTION

tion, He Informs Commits
sion Considering 1t

Rome, Aug. 24.-Impatient over the
delay in settling the status of the
Fiume. Premier Mussolini has asked
the joint commission dealing with
the question to reach a decision be-
fore September l. The newspapers
said that an ultimatum had been sent
by Italy to Jugo-Slavia asking a def
mite decision concerning Fiume, it
being alleged the Belgrade govern
ment had been constantly delaying
final action. A semi-official com .
munique, however, stated, that the
word "ultimatum" used by the press
was unwarranted. As to the character
of the communication sent the state
ment added:
1T was only an invitation ad-
dressed by Premier Mussolini to the
mixed Italo-Slav commission dealing
with the Fiume question to conclude
its work within the present month.

being presented, turned the little
country school into a funeral pyre and
