Water Supply
Here Declared
Safe And Pure

1t has been suggested recently
that the Seward water supply
should be subjected to a chlorin-
alton process.
Health Officer DR.. r. O. Sellers
said that the source of Stewards
supply is glacier water and that
there is no chance for contamina-
ton at the source.
The unusually high water pres
sure in the mains in Seward
causes water to be forced out of
the mains when there is a leak. 1t
would not be possible for impure
water to force itself into the mains.
Concerning the suggestion that
the water be chlorinated, DR.. Sell
lers said he hoped that if the ques-
ton came up the people would pro-
test against the unnecessary ex-
pense and the spelling the taste Of
good pure water

Eisenhower desires or plans" the
Senator designate said. But dc
know that he is very highly re-
garded in Kansas, his home State.
So far there has been no organ

would be very popular"

He will remain to attend the Grid
