WATER ANALYSIS
LAW IS EVADED,
ENGINEER ALLEGES

Twenty thousand persons IN In
diana daily face dangers inherent in
a polluted water supply.
A score of towns are evading the
enforcement of the water analysis act
and liability and responsibility for
water hazards to the public.
With these declarations a sugges
ton has been made to the State board
Of health by L. A GeupeI, State san
itary engineer, that better coopera-
ton may be obtained between State
departments to prevent alleged evasion
Of the law, it was learned today.
Cities File Statements
The cities of Rochester, Winamac,
Batesville, Vevay. Marengo, Hazelton,
Petersburg, Vernon and others have
filed statements with their charters
at the public service commission, ecu
pei points out, stating they do not de
liver water to the public for drinking
purposes.
The statement exempts them from
inclusion under Jurisdiction Of the
water analysis act. Occasional use
of water, which these towns obtain
from lakes and streams and sell with
out publication, has resulted in ty-
phoid epidemics and Illness, accord
ing to the State officials.
Ohio River Water
At Vevay water is pumped out Of
the Ohio River without treatment and
delivered to drinking fountains at
schools, inspections by Geupel have
discovered.
The water supply at Rochester is
obtained from Lake Manitou near the
shore. The lake is heavily polluted
in the summer, it is said.
At Marengo, a spring along cress1
derives its source from sink holes at
the fairgrounds. Use of this spring
resulted in a typhoid epidemic one
summer, officials say. and 1t is re
garded by the State as dangerous to
public health.
The entire matter will probably be
taken up soon by the State board of
health, it is understood.

NEW YORK, April 2.-Nothing
happened overnight to change the in
huences which dominated Tuesdays
session of the stock market and stocks
continued to rally in the early deal
ings today. Short covering gained in
volume as the recovery proceeded and
brisk rebounds featured the market
in the first fifteen minutes. American

movement and additional ground was
regained by Steel and other industrial
leaders. Rails were still under the
leadership of ST Paul preferred, which
attained another record 1924 high.
First Hour
Trading was slowed down in the
first hour by trouble with wire con-
nections as a result Of Tuesday nights

He said: IT talked to the Governor
