That city water, though temporar
ily disagreeable to taste and odor,
due to draining Klsh lake, is not dun

stutemcnt:
' The odor and taste In tbo water
supplied the city or Medford Is no
way dangerous to health. This odor
anil taste Is due to a maceration of a

J duces a sharp taste and odor which,
however, is perfectly harmless.
