Elizabeth City is suffering along with practically every coast town in North Carolina and suffering a great deal less than some of them. This, in effect, is the way G. F. Catlett, principal assistant engineer of the State Board of Health, who has supervision over the water supply of the different towns of the State, and who was In the city Tuesday and Wednesday, epitomizes the water sit uation here. Engineer Catlett admits that there are defects in Elizabeth City's watr supply plant at this time, and de fects that should be remedied. The pumping equipment, for Instance, is entirely inadequate and', the filters need overhauling. But with both these defects remedied, El'zabuth City's water would still ba salt and just as salt as it is today, in Engi neer Catlett's opinion, in justice to the water company, Engineer Catlett goes on to sayt that Superintendent Parker already ha.s plans for replac ing the present pumping equipment at the water plant. As to the operation of the plant supplying the city with water, Engi neer Catlett had no criticism what ever to make. "Superintendent Parker," he said, "is in my opinion one of the most competent men for his work that I have found in the State, and under his direction all that can be done with the present equipment to give Elizabeth City pure drinking water is being done. In this connection..! may say that analyses by the State Board of Health for the past year have indicated that Elizabeth City's water supply is safe for drinking purposes. Heretofore there has been talk of a dam across Knobb's Creek that would automatically close against tidewater from the river as a pos sible preventive of the water's be coming salt. . But the only depend able remedy, according to Engineer Catlett, Is to have a reservoir suffi cient storage capacity to tide the city over such a period of saltwater as It is now experiencing. "That," he said, "is of course not an Impos sibility. But It could not be made effective In time to relieve the pres ent situation, as there ls now no fresh water available for the reservoir." Predict Breakdown Irish Conference London, Nov. 30 (By The Associ ated Press) Government circles to day expressed the belief that the Irish conference would break down soon as the result of difficulties which have arisen and that the resumption of armed hostilities could not be postponed. t An alternative settlement plan was submitted today to the Sinn Fein representatives which Included a definite undertaking for the oath of allegiance to the crown. Japan Remains Center Of Interest Washington, Nov. 30 (By The As sociated Press) The Issue raised In Japan's desire for Increase In her relative naval strength allotment un der the American limitation pro posal remained the pivotal question In the conference proceedings today. The reiterated opposition of the American delegation Is understood to have ended consideration of the quest'on by the naval sub-committee which held Its postponed meeting to day. Points.
