Beard,: who, at the request of a number of Casper citizens of the state board of health, Mayor Pelton in- {cluded, made an investigation of Cas-; per’s water supply, not long ago, stated the system wf water galldries, | gravel filteration, etc., planned on the! water preserve is good, and that when| completed it will be adequate for the needs of the city for some time. It was brought out last night, that! the water in the main water gallery at the plant is probably not contami- nated, and that the polution that ex-) ists at the present time comes from the Sage Creek-Blkhorn reservoir,| which must be used in part until the! new system is completed, and from the surface wells on the preserve, which were ordered cleaned out and filled up. Mr. Holmes, in speaking to the council, made it clear that the Cham- ber of Commerce is in no way criticiz-| ing council members or trying to usurp their duties when it takes up work of this sort, and that its sole desire is to use its machinery to help the council and to gain for that body the backing of public sentiment in necessary work) for the betterment of Casper. | TRIBUNE APPEAL | DRAWS INITIAL) CHECK FOR S.
