1t is seldom that a service pipe con-
Meeting with the water mains becomes
closed automatically, as it were, or by
accident, but never before in this city has
a toad been known TO get into a small
service pipe and completely stop off the
water; few days ago the Baptist
church's water supply was cut off and it
took long time to locate the trouble. At
the stop cock alongside the main a we'll
developed toad was found wedged into the
valve. How 1t got there is one of the I'M
explained mysteries. but the most plausi-
BILE theory is that the toad came down
through the mains as q tiny egg Matched
itself out and while growing was drawn
into the recess where it was found.
Everybody inhaled their peck of dirt
and diSeaSe-breeGing germs yesterday
The streets were dry and the topping was
light and ashy-like, so much so that
every passing team or gus. III wind sent
clouds OF dust in every direction. No such
deploTable sight was witnessed for years
and years before. There is a remedy, OF
course, and that is to sprinkle the streets
but II cannot be done unless the people \
are deprived OF an adequate supply of
water for domestic purposes. However it
is hoped that there will be enough surplus
water stored in the Pan,ey's reservoir nv

street sprinkiing on a limited scale Yes
terday the carts covered only the paved
district and Liberty park. The suspension !
o. sprinlziing is largely due TO the diver |
sion Of Parley's creek by Mrs. Dudler on |
Tuesday and until Thursday, but the per-
SiStent waste of water BIZ constituencies |

the mountain streams tend TO aggravate |
the situation until IL has become a trying |
problem to the municipal officials It can |
no longer be disputed that il is Imperative !
for an increased supply Of water to be l
brought 70 the city next season. and also /
