Hughes, commenting on complaints received of the unpleasant smell 0 the municipally supplied water Used m Palmerston North on Monday. "It is beautifully clear," he added, "but I think it is advisable to boil it i n the meanthat "to <r the ff" 8 " disa PP eari »- I expect that to go off as soon as the hot weather eases off." Mr. Hughes said the smell was no doubt due to the hot weather, and probably came from the sun wariping up the 21m steel pipe crossing the Fitz-] 1 herbert Bridge. It had been noticed that the smell was more pronounced at the bottom of Fitzherbert Avenue than at other points in the city. The water was I naturally enclosed in the main, and the effect would be just the same as warming up water in a tightly corked bottle, where the gases given off could not escape.
