TO cURTAIL WASTE OF WATER.
Proposed That the Period Allowed Il
Sprinkling Be Reduced.

1.-The reduction OF the high per capita
use of water in this city, said member
of the water department to Star man, rs
a problem which has beset the city author!-
ties for a long while.
although there have been a number of
schemes projected, including the introduc
ton of water meters, and direct appeals to
the citizens not to unduly waste the water,
1 will make a suggestion which, If carried
out, / know will have a material bearing
upon the question.
"It Is TO shorten the hours during which
the citizens may use the water for lawn
and street sprinkling purposes. These hours
now extend from 8 to O'Clock, morning
and evening. The amount Of water con-
sumed In the sprinkling of the lawns and
the streets In front of private premises In
this city is prodigious. Some persons play
the hose for an unnecessary length Of time,
often by the hour. unnecessarily soaking
the grass and washing the asphalt and
sidewalks. Children are allowed to use
the hose as playthings. A very heavy per-
centage of the water used In this manner
runs off in the cutters and is simply wasted.
Where lawns sprinkled daily, or even
semi and tri-weekly, 1T requires compare
lively little water to keep the grass fresh
and green.
THE time during which the lawns may
be sprinkled should be curtailed to one
hour--from to o'clock morning and even
ing, or from to s am. and from to
pm Five o'clock In the afternoon Is en-
tirely too early to allow residents to wash
down their lawns and streets. 1t is at this
hour that the sidewalks are most In use
and their drenching constitutes positive
nuisance to pedestrians. For instance,
some business houses and hotels on Penn
sylvania avenue pull out their lines OF hose,
with large noxzles which admit OF power
full stream being played, at In the after
noon on the minute, and just at time
when the avenue Is crowded with pedes-
TRANS It would work no disadvantage
to POSTPONE this sprinkling for an hour.
These streams come with such force that
pedestrians are splashed with water even
though they may not be In direct line OF
the hose. On the uptown streets 1t Is easier
to avoid the streams, as the hose IL or
smaller diameter.
"Although the convenience of pedestrians
Is something, the main point is the reduc-
ton of the use of the water itself. The
advocates of the water meters contend that
their Introduction will make citizens more
careful with the use of the water, since
they will have to pay for 1t. This Is un-
doubtedly true. but we haven't got the
meters installed and no one can say when
the authority for the installation will be
granted 1t Is possible, however, to shorten
the hours during which the water may be
used in the manner under discussion"
