Filtration Plant Opens Beds Amid Typhoid Fight in Washington
Water department tests two beds of the new filtration plant costing 4.5 million dollars.

All beds will be in service within sixty days, with boil-water warnings continuing. Eleven new cases noted yesterday, total since July 1 rising as cases fall and rise with filtration progress.
