FAIRVIEW RESERVOIR
 is DROPPING STEADILY.
Is Now iii Inches Below Hishwater Mark, Which is the Lowest Ever at This Time of Year.

According to the measurement Of Fairview reservoir taken by Supt. Burnap on Wednesday it was III inches below hiahwater mark. A year ago at this time it was but 36 inches below highwater mark, and it is stat ed that this years mark is the lowest the pond ever was at this time of the year.
 This is due to the very small rain fall there has been this spring as the months of April. May, June and thus far in July have provided but 7.45 inches of precipitation. This steady drop in the reservoir calls for the most careful use of the city water, and gives indication at an early date of what may be expected unless there is a heavy rainfall and that followed by many more.
