"All of these water hydrants

At $4,000 Homes.
Mr.. Cary estimated 5000 Wash
ington homes have either one OF
both of the facilities. Each is
more dangerous than the privies
found in the Marshall Heights
area because Of their connection
with the water supply.
These facilities are either in
the open or in rickety sheds in
backyards, he said, under the pro-
posed changes, new plumbing
would have to be installed inside
the homes. Inside plumbing, he
explained, is pressure-tight and
cannot back up in water mains.
Colorado already has outlawed
such facilities. In Newton, Kans.,
during the war, 5000 people were
infected land the cause was traced
to such hydrants and closets, Mr.
Cary said. In addition an un-
known number Of passengers on
trains passing through the city
were similarly effected by water
