D. I^atta at Dilworth. “It might not be fit for drinking purposes,” said Mr. Guillett, “but it would help for fire protection and sanitary purposes.” The mayor and the water board, it is understood, are looking into the matter.

He said: “We get about 100,000 gallons a day from the wells and springs in Latta Park, but this supply is not showing up. We think there is a leakage, and that this water from the springs and w'ells is running into the city pipes, as the water does not register as much at the company’s plants, where it is used, as' it does when it leaves the pumps. “We have a force of hands at work today looked into the water, trying to locate a leak, if there is one. This water is used at the gas plant and power house. It is not stored in a-, reservoir, but pumped direct into the mains.” Big Camp Meeting. By Associated Press.
