"We have been unable to use the water for cooking at our home," he stated, "and when I got up to get a drink last night it positively made ma sick. If an Individual water company controlled the city water, there would be a world of protest and the company would have con siderable difficulty in paying their Mils. "Oar water, aa long aa we get It Trom Tranter's Creek, la bound to get salty every time wo have a dry spell and there la no way under the sun that you can get salt out of wa ter except through condensation. All the filtering and chemicals In the world won't take It out. ' "There is only one thing for the city to do now and that is to con nect ua up with the wells and let us obtain our aupply from that source. Whether this will be sufficient or not, 1 do not know but I am aurc that every citizen, when ho Is made acquainted with conditions, will cur tail the osa of water In his home nntll the water In the creek !b lit to use again. I believe the water people have been trying to mix the creek and the well water during the last few dayB, but they might as well give it up, for they can't make it fit to use. "This Is the first tlmo that we have been affected this way, but It won't be the last. As long as wo get our water from Tranter's Crrek we're going to have the same condi tions resulting after every dry spoil that there Is."
