THE SCARCITY OF WATER
generally at all high points in the District
having become the cause OF daily complaint
10 the District Commissioners, they have
called the attention OF Water Registrar
Lutey 10 the fact, with the request that
something be done 10 suppress the waste in
the lower parts OF the city. the registrar
has instituted a careful Investigation as 10
where leaks are occurring. The result has
shown that during Wednesday and Thursday
2CO or 800 places were found where water
was permitted TO flow all night. These leaks
mostly IN public houses and livery stables,
have. by order OF Major Lubey, been cut of,
and the water viii not gain be permitted
TO be used until he has assurance that no
further waste will be permitted. This is a
isagreeable duty, yet as persons persist in
violation OF the law, IN justice To a very
large class who are deprived Of water for the
ordinary purposes of life, tie registrar feels
compelled 10 enforce tie rules. In CODuec-
lion with this matter ne has prepared the
following circular, which Will be- delivered
