City Water Supply
Last Monday reports reached
me that there were quite a num
ber of persons using the city wa
ter were suffering with alimen
tary disturbances. In several cas
es whole families were taken sick
within a very short time. I im
mediately issued notices suggest
ing that all water used for drink
ing purposes should be boiled fori
twenty minutes, and sent samples
of water to the State Laboratory
for examination. I also telephon
ed to the State Health Depart
ment in Raleigh. Tuesday mor
ning Dr. C. P. Stevick, Epidemi
ologist, and Mr. Doggett, State
Engineer, came to Louisburg,
looked over our water plant and
took samples of water. Their
report follows:
"Water samples collected on
Tuesday from various points in
the City Water System results not
yet complete. Cultures show that
two out of nine samples from dis
tribution taps indicate evidence
of pollution. The inspection of
the plant by State Board of
Health Engineer on the same day
showed that result of the chlori
nation and filtration of the water
was being carried out satisfactor
ily In most respects and that cer
tain changes in the treatment
were to be recommended to pre
vent the possibility of harmful
bacteria passing into the water
system at times."
The entire city water supply
will be chlorinated late today ac
cording to instructions of the
State Board of Health. This will
probably result in producing a
chlorine taste to the water which
should not be a cause of alarm
to the city residents but should
be taken as an assurance of pro
tection.
Beginning Friday morning all
boiling of water may be discon
tinued.

(That's the wav * like to see them," said Gen.
MacArthur when he saw the rows of dead Japs
in the Admiralty Islands. In this war? the
costliest, crudest war or all time?
our boys must fight with savage
fury. Kill or be killed! And on how
well each plays his part depends the
lives of many of his buddies.
Here on the home front, too, just
cbtrnng the attack on isn't enough.
That's why there's a Fifth War Bond drive on
now, a drive in which you're needed to support
the men on the fighting fronts who are facing
the most treacherous forces Ameri
cans have ever met in combat. We on
the home front can't let them down
? and we won't. So resolve nou> to
at least double your bond buying in
the 5th War Loan drive. This is the
time to do belter than your best.
