INDlSCREET USE OF WATER
CAUSING A SHORTAGE

There is already considerable com
plant from people living farthest
away from the city water mains. AT
times it Is almost impossible for those
located along small supply pipes to
get even enough for domestic purposes.
The city ordinance concerning the use
of water for irrigation at certain hours
has not yet been put into force and It
is the indiscreet use of water by many
that is causing the shortage. Some
hydrants are permitted to run continu-
ously now and 1t is presumed that the
owners thereof also own property in
China and are en~deavoring to irrigate
it from this side of the earth. Marshal
Stirling threatens to take a hand in the
matter very shortly.
