rations be sent to the battle ship Illinois
for distribution among the seventy cadets
who are on duty guarding the lake cribs
and the Hyde Park pumping station
The city engineer ordered the supplies at
once.
Mr.. Arlingstal says his department is
having considerable trouble with the
water supply, particularly that for the
stock yards district and that 1t is
common occurrence for his men to
tind valves and gates closed shutting off
the water supply of a part of that sec
tion. Who is doing the work, he does
not know The greatest danger he be-
lieves is to the second street pumping
station from " uACA A1OSb u tuC STOCK

city police and special firemen are on
constant duty.
