R. Atkinson. The city commission, |“ it was stated, had decided to clean} ; the reservoirs and bear the expense. The work will be started tomor- | row ‘morning, this afternoon being: devoted to preparations for the job. Water consumers are asked not to’) use water for sprinkling lawns from tonight until further notice, probably two days, Mr. Atkinson said. It is held necessary to decrease the con- sumption in order to permit speedy cleaning. Just how long the cleaning will take is uncertain, but it is the inten, tion of the city officials, it was said, to rush the job as much as possible. ances of its active life early yester- water has been growing more criti- cal daily for the last two weeks, with dditional reports of wide-spread sickness being made. vo E. M. Stanton, state health labora- tory bacteriologist, said this morning that there was danger of a typhoid fever epidemic as a result of the con- dition of the water. The water, he further declared, is far below the standards required by state health standards and the United States Public Health Service. While during the last five years, he said, except for brief periods, the water had been kept within the standard by use of chemicals, it is not now within the standards and is a men- ace to public health. The condition of the water, which has grown steadily worge for two or three weeks, according to authorities, is now at about the worst s! could possibly be, ‘oday’s Developments Devclopments in the situation earlier included: E, M. Stanton thformally con- ferred. at the Attorngy-General’s office on powers of the health authorities, and planned to make request for a formal opinion to- day through the city attorney, Superintendent of the company denied the statement made by C. L. Hanson before the commission Monday night that chlorine is not being put in the water. Mr. Stan- ton said the chemicals were be- ing put in daily. Some local citizens have Wis- cussed bringing damage suits against officers of the water company -for damages to their health, that of their families and to ask damages because of ,ex- pense involved. The water company, according to one employe, asserts that the plant belongs to the\ city and that’ in the contract for sale it was provided that title passed to the city Jane 9 and possession passed when the city paid over $265,000. & ‘A representative of the bond- ing companies which purchased city bonds and warrants was ex- pected in the city today for a conference with members of the city commission, the purpose of which was not known. Bacteria Count High t Mr. Stanton, asked by The Tribune what examinations of the water had showed, said that the ‘analysis’ re- veals an exceedingly high bacterial; count, that the ‘bacillus coli ‘ar’ exceeds the limit set by state and/ federal health standards, that it) may produce typhoid fever, that the, high turbidity and the amount of .colon and other bacillus produces severe intestinal trouble. In addition to the bad condition of the water there is stagnant mud in! the reservoirs Which is an ‘there ts] breeding~place for bacteria. There is so much fine sand and stegnant mud that chemicals can not. remove. all of the bacteria, te said. + ‘ “The condjtion of the water is the worst since I have been here in five years,” he said. “Most of the time the water has been within the standard with respect to bacteria, except dur- ing temporary high water for failure to clean reservoirs. The company has been cleaning reservoirs once or twice a year but in the last-year has made no attempt to clean them, “It looks to me as if there is a criminal indifference to the health of the people of the city.” Bolling Order Issued Mr, Stanton said he! had been in- formed by one attorney that there probably was nothing ie health board could do. He went to the At- torney-Géeneral’s office and discussed the matter with Charles’ Simon, special assistant attorney-general. Hc expressed the opinion that the heaith authorities could act but said request for formal opinion would. have to. come through the regular channels and he wouldn’t give a positive opin- ion without investigation, “I should think,” said Mr. Sit +o The Tribune, “that if there’is a: menace to public health ekisting the board of health could. act.” 4 The state food and drug commis- joner’s office had had, a, man in ismarck recently: to ‘ask. public eat~ ae.

GAS TO DECIDE FUTURE WARS, SAYS EXPERT May Put Whole Armies to Sleep 25 Years Hence New York, Aug. 22.—Whole armies put to sleep and taken prisoner in gas warfare is by no means an im- possibility 25 years hence, Col Ray- imond F. Bacon, chief of the Techni- cal Division of the Chemical Warfare Service, A. E. F., says in a descrip- tion of the possibilities of-the future art of war made public by the Amer- {ican Chemical Society. The $2,000,000 spent on the re- rch organization did more toward hitig- the -war, Col. Bacon asserts, than. any other $200,000,000 spent in other ways.

Washington, Aug. 22.—(By théAs- sociated Press)—Members of the fed- eral coal commission were engaged today in framing a report to Presi- dent Coolidge fixing the respons:- bility between the anthracite miners and operatofs and outlining the steps the government should take in re- gard to the prospective strike August 1. Chairman Hammond of the com- mission announced this would be the next step by the commission after he, with Commissioner Neill had conferred last evening with Presi- dent Coolid; He did not indicate definitely how long.the. drafting of the report would. require, but there appeared a possibility today that it would be in the hands of the Presi- dent before night. © A statement ‘as to the responsibility for the rupture, it: is generally con- sidered, will not produce a ton of coal and thus the greatest interest is attached to what steps the new ad- mintstration propos\s to take should the miners and opérators continue in- their. failure to. reach a common ‘ground, ‘ 7 Coolidge’a Ideas Two statements only have come from the White House which are garded as throwing light on mind of Mr. Coolidge.
