Ions pumped and 7O.s21. 4s7 gallons con-
sumed. Yesterday 72,2A, sos gallons were
consumed and only 66. 500, 293 gallons
pumped into the reservoirs.
The amount of water now in the
storage reservoir at Hampstead has
fallen until there is a depth of a, few
inches over three feet. In few days.
or POSSIBLY by tomorrow, the depth will
be decreased to below three feet. when
1t will no longer be safe to draw
water.
A house to house canvass has been
made in many sections of the city by
the police. and the tenants warned not
