NO TUB BATHS FOR
THE PEOPLE OF NEWARK
Darkness Except for the Twinkine Candles
Light Plant Shut Down

To be forbidden from taking a bath
in your own home and i'm your own
bath tub would seem to be a nonsensi-
cal proporsition. yet that is exactly
what the citizens of Newark are up
against. A resident may take a rub
down with a damp towel. but must be
careful and not get the towel too wet,
as water is valuable article just at
present i'm that town.
These strict rules were thought to
be necessary from the fact that the
water supply I'm Newark is running out.
At meeting of the Town Council ON
Thursday night the subject was
brought up and conditions were report
ed to be serious.
Well Running Dry.
The old well which is the present
source Of supply seems to be running
dry and i'm case of fire unless the
strictest economy IA practiced. Council
realized the town would practically be
unprotected.
IL was decided by the members of
Council that some step should be taken
at once and accordingly an ordinance
was prepared and passed forbidding
the residents of the town to take tub
baths and 10 also be as careful as pos
sible with the water I'm every other way.
The penalty is the shutting omn of the
water in any house where the inmates
become so ind.screet as TO take a bath.
This ordinance is to remain i'm effect
until the new well now being dug is in
operation.
