Show Let's quit kidding ourselves our-selves For the benelit of the newcomers we have advertised Ogden s abundant water sup- i i ply. 99 per cent pure, until we ' beheve it ourselves The facts prove Ogden's wat- I I er supply nearly perfect nine ; months of the year, but from Jun 15 to September 15 we ; have a serious water shortage. Not only a lack of water but i a lack of clean water. The wells are insufficient to meet the summer demands and every available creek and stream obtainable must be tnrned into our mains to keep the supply near normal. In years gone by it has been necessary to turn in the main flow of the Ogden river carrying carry-ing with it the refuse from Hunteville in sewage and drainage. drain-age. At other times on other unprotected un-protected creeks the washings and filth from campers and dead bodies of animals are earned ear-ned into our mains. We remember one instance where a woman was caught ' washing her baby's diapers m one of our summer supply creek?. Thousands of Ogdenites suffered suf-fered from summer complaint last summer. Hundreds of babies ba-bies died from acute diarrhoea. Eerything imaginable was blamed for this condition except ex-cept the real situation, our insufficient in-sufficient contaminated summer sum-mer water supply. We need more water and we ueed cleaner water and the only way we will get it will be voting vot-ing the bonds. Let us not place the dollar sign above that of health and happiness. Vote for the water bonds and sewer bonds Remember the waterworks is self supporting. The small increase in-crease in taxes on these items will provide an ample supply of pure water and an adequate sewer system. |
