Dry Spoil Oram. Well* Should

In speaking of the present condi
tion of the city water, one of the
leading business men of the city this
moraine emphatically declared that
th? city had made a mHrtake when
they went to Tranter's Creek after
water, that the water was unfit for
culinary purposes when salty, as It
lis -At present and that some stops
should be taken to relieve the sit
uation.
"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."
