The water question is serious
one all over New Mexico. AT
Santa Fe and Las Vegas the sup
ply is the lowest in many years.
In both these cities the water is
now shut off from the entire town
every evening and not turned on
until the next morning. This is

CATION of lawns and gardens by the
citizens.
In the whole history of the
Southwest this is the most pro-
longed dry spell ever known
taking everything into considera-
ton. In 1880 it was dry for six
teen months, but there was an
abundance OF snow in the noun
tains which kept up the streams
and gave plenty of irrigating
water Now we have neither rain
to make grass nor snow in the
mountains to keep up the streams,
hence everybody suffers.
In every little Mexican settle
ment one can see daily solemn
professions Of men and women
winding along the dry bed OF some
stream, carrying images OF the
Savior and Virgin Mary, sacred
banners and other churchly en-
blems, chanting prayers for rain
and prostrating themselves in the
dusty. sandy wastes, their cruci
fixes and images erected on stats
above them, imploring kind heaven
TO hear their supplications.

Cheap w...r Supply i" Fowler.

An agreement OF the Crystal
Springs Pipe Line and Water
Company and the town OF Fowler
was filed in the county clerks
Office last Saturday. The springs
from which the water supply IS
derived are located about two
miles north Of Fowler, and it is
said to be equal to the best IN the
state. The company agrees to
furnish water to the town OF Fow-
ler in an amount not exceeding
20, 600 gallons per day, and not
exceeding the output OF the
springs, for the sum Of SIoo per
month. The town is not to sell
water to parties living outside the
corporate limits, and the company
is not to sell water to parties with
in the corporate limits. Should
the town at any time require more
than 40, 900 gallons per day, the
company agrees to furnish an
amount not to exceed 5000 gal-
Ions additional per day at a rate
Of 16z5 cents per 1000 gallons.

were paying more water rent than
they should and others were not
paying enough. MIR. Thompson
suggested an entire change of the
present system, even TO levying a
general tax on all property for the
support of the water plant and
reduction in the present water
rentals. Many vacant lots that
are enhanced in value on account
OF the existence of the CITY water
plant escape taxation for this pur-
pose altogether. The water COM
mittee was instructed to gather
data concerning the amount of
water used by the various consum-
ers to the end that the city council
may make an equitable re-rating
of the city.

session, Mayor Corbin presiding
and Aldermen Johnson, Handy,
Sherman and hasten being among
those present.
The salary of Il. w. Burch, who
operates the sprinkler, was raised
form 500 to SIS per month.
Alderman Johnson reported that
the outlet to the sewer was in very
bad shape, owing to the recent
raging flood waters, and as the
Santa Fe contemplates making
some changes in the course of the
river to lessen the probability OF
damage to their property, he ad-
vised that only temporary repairs
be made at present time. 1t was
SO ordered.
The state boiler inspector mott
fed the council that the boilers in
use at the pump house were not
safe, and advised not using over
seventy pounds steam pressure.
The purchase OF new boilers for
the pump house can not be delay
ed much longer.
The council will confer with the
county commissioners in regard to
raising the curb stone south OF the
court house park a distance OF
eighteen inches in order to prevent
the flooding of the park as it has
been several times OF late.
Rev. Lampkin, who was recently
served with a notice to work out
poiltax like the balance of male
mortals within the corporate limits,
sent in a request via the city clerk
that his polltax be remitted for the
reason that he had put in several
strenuous hours cleaning up the
sidewalk in front OF his church
after the rampage OF recent flood
waters. The request was denied
for the reason that this would
establish bad precedent. Many
other citizens who have been
guilty OF cleaning up after the
flood waters had subsided might
want similar favoIs.
