were pumped into our mains 1876, ,124, $50
gallons of water which estimating our
population at 10000 is daily average OF
134 gallons for every man, woman AND

which must be reduced. We account fol
a considerable of the waste as being fl ON

once and place them in frst-class condi

responsible for said leaky service.
Another source of waste is in the use o
hose for gardens, lawns and street. A

these facts. No consumer will be allowed
to use hose for sprinkling purposes lOnge

of hose for sprinkling is prohibited be
tween the hours of a. m. and p. N

the merry makers.

Suddenly Mrs. Parker spied him. Taking
