FROZEN RIVER CAUSES
MUSTY WATER TASTE
Supply's Purity Unaffected, Say
Company Officials.

Peculiar musty taste to the city's
drinking water is due to the river
being frozen, permitting little
aeration, and has no effect on
purity of the water, it was ex-
planned today by indianapolis
Water Company officials
Harry E. Jordan, water company
sanitary engineer, said that the ice
covering, as we'll as the slight flow
of the river, both are responsible
for the musty odor, adding that
with rise in the river due to snow
and rain, and melting of ice, the
odor should disappear soon.
City and state health departments
have kept check and found purity
of the water unaffected, he said.

F FRANCE: ITALY
EXPECTED To
UPHOLD PACT
BY FREDERICK KUH
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Nov 27. - Refusal of
France and Italy to join Japan in
abrogating the Washington naval
treaty was regarded as a foregone
conclusion in anglo American quar-
ters today.
KCki Hirota, foreign minister of
Japan has invited France and Italy
to join in the move. The japanese
previously sought British coopera-
ton, but Britain declined.
Frances refusal, it was believed,
would be mainly due to the general
French policy in favor Of the status
quo of treaties. Although France is
not satisfied with her naval ratio
under the Washington treaty, she
was believed TO feel that the assist
ance OF Japan in scrapping the
treaty would morally aid Germany's
efforts to abolish the Versailles
treaty.
Italy also has expressed a desire
10 increase her relative naval
strength bat the Italian government
last December, on presentation OF
the naval budget, expressed opposi-
ton to Japans policy.
The British and japanese will
meet in the house Of commons to-
day. The meeting probably will give
Ambassador TsuneO Matsudaira an
opportunity to reply in more detail
to the British proposal for salvag-
ing the current negotiations. The
British proposed a program limiting
tornages and guns in each cate.
CORY; preserving the Pacific non
fortification clause despite abroga-
ton Of the treaty, and assuring pub
licity for each nations building pro
gram.
1t was understood Japan desires
modification of the clause prohibit
ing Notifications and naval bases
beyond a specified zone in the Paci-
tic.

BOARD WILL
REMOVE ALL
RESTRICTIONS
Regulations To Be Lifted To-
morrow For Indefinite Period
Depending On Supply.
COOPERATION REQUESTED
City And Country Residents
Asked To Be Conservative In
Use For Their Needs.
COOPERATION REQUESTED

Effective tomorrow morning wat
er proration in Imperial county
will come to a close according to
action taken by the irrigation dis
trict board OF directors this morn
ing. 8he period during which the
proration regulations are to remain
ineffective will be indefinite, it was
said and will depend entirely on
the amount Of water coming down
the Colorado river during the re-
mainder of the winter.
This action was taken by the
board because of the increased flow
of the river which has been rising
steadily from day to day following
continued snowfall and rains in the
upper basin and along the entire
watershed. In preparation for this
step the board at meeting last
week decreed that city residents
could use water for lawn irrigation
purposes something which had been
banned in the county all during the
summers drought spell.
In this connection the district di-
rectcrs ask al water users of the
county to use their best Judgment
in the uce Of water so that other
persons living along the same canal
will be given an equal chance TO
supply their needs.
Cooperation of all ranchers and
other water users with the district
will go long way to aid in an even
distribution of present water sup
plies and also improve the situation
generally, it was said at district
headquarters this morning.
Water proration was instituted by
the district board some months ago
following several conferences on the
matter with representative ranch
ers, dairymen and orchardists of
the county. The acute water short
age which was felt here all during
the summer months brought hard
ships to ranchers and city dwell
erS alike.
The shortage reached such pro-
portions that it was necessary to
have drinking water brought into
the county by tank cars to be dis
tributed to residents of the rural
areas ana cities as the water level
in the canals was so low it was
feared an epidemic of disease might
result from the further use of this
water Tor drinking purposes.
With the canal water SO low IL
was also necessary to haul stock wa
ter tO the different dairy ranches
CT the county in order that the cat
tie might be enabled to survive the
drought.
At a later period came the ques-
ton of distributing water to the
ranchers for the purpose of growing
crops. both vegetable and feed. This
brought ur the difficulty OF prorat-
irg water as each industry in the
county felt that it should receive its
share of water and did not feel that
it could give up any portion to
ether industries.
The board took action by decree
