CAN'T SOFTEN CITY
WATER NOW, SAY
TOWN OFFICIALS
Public Support for Movement
Grows; Council Turns
Down Idea
Light Plant Will Make Major
Outlay for New Boiler
Soon, Says Chairman

Gaining in public support is a move
ment, apparently spontaneous, for the
softening of Buttons city water sup
ply despite the fact that the proposal
has not been formally considered by
the board of public affairs which would
be in charge of such a project and
statements by officials that such "a
project cannot now be undertaken.
Agitation for a water softening
system sprung up recently when a
representative of the State Board of
Health was called here in connection
with an offensive odor and taste which
developed in the city water supply.
An analysis of the water showed
it to be pure and the he recommended
cleaning of the reservoir and recon
ditioning of the aereator to remove
the excess sulphur taste and odor.
State Health Report
His recommendation also pointed
out that if these measures did not sof-
flee clorination of the water or soften
ing of the city supply would accom-
plish the purpose.
Cleaning of the reservoir and re-
conditioning of the aerator accom-
plished the purpose, officials of the
board of public affairs stated, without
resorting to the more expensive pro-
cesses of clorination or suftening.
In connection with agitation for
softening of the water supply, Harry
Barnes, president of the board pointed
out that increased demand for eletric-
al current soon will require a major
outlay of funds for the purchase of
a new high pressure boiler which he
indicated will be added as early as
conditions permit.
Council Against Measure
Members of the town council which
informally discussed the matter of
softening of the city water supply at
their meeting last week were opposed
to the proposition as being too costly
to water consumers since it would in
crease rates on an average of about
$5 year.
Council members also took the po-
sition that water softening could be
taken care of more satisfactorily by
individual installing the necessary
equipment in their own homes.
Housewives, however, who constitute
the bulk of support for the movement
insist they would be willing to pay the
added charge for the privilege of hav-
ing soft water Many cisterns, they
claim, have been cracked by heavy
blasting and for that reason are dry
much of the time during which periods
those households not provided with in
divfdual water softeners are obliged
to use the hard city water supply.

Night scene in the Southern Pa

outside Friday, awaiting the train.
The children played in the gravel,
the babies slept. Lights shone
from the windows of houses across
tie tracks. The night was
warm and still, as if it listened in
pleasant languor to the familiar
conversation of its home folks.
... Suddenly, an army truck drew
up to the curb-two armed guards
stepped out, followed by three Ger
man prisoners and a third guard.
Instantly, the atmosphere
changed. The family groups
drew closer and talked in whispers.

Mayfair Gardens Sale
Postponed 10 Permit
Reorganization Effort

A reorganization that would per-
nit Mayfair Gardens, 595-unit
Negro housing project on Kenil-
worth avenue NE, to be completed
by its original sponsors, was being
attempted today, after the scheduled
foreclosure sale of the property yes
terday was postponed until March %

was authorized by Justice T.. Alan

petition of three creditors of the
original sponsors, Mayfair Gardens,
Inc.

builders; Joseph c. Heinrich, a sub
contractor, of New York, and East
land Gardens, Inc.-claimed that
the sponsoring firm owes them a
total of nearly 100000. Their filed
their petition under Chapter 10 OF
the Bankruptcy Act, which permits
hearing for reorganization to stop
foreclosure.
Requests for sale of the property

first deed of trust for $2,478O00 and
has paid out more than 81, 100 900 in

sors.

soring firm, headed by the Elder

sumed with all possible speed.
