ZION IS FACING
WATER FAMINE
Superintendent Holiday Talks
Plainly in Regard to the
Situation.
WASTE BY CITIZENS IS
LARGELY RESPONSIBLE
Streams Are Low, However, and
the Supply Must Be
Conserved.

"SaIt Lake Is facing a serious water
crisis. The northeastern portion Of the
city was entirely without water last
night for four hours. There was no
drinking water and there was no fire
protection. While tho water pressure In
the downtown district should have been
100 pounds to the square inch, It was
about 40 pounds TO tho square Inch last
night between . and O'Clock This
makes very poor fire protection, but peo-
Pile must choose between wasting water
and having water for culinary purposes
and fire protection
Thomas HOLIDAY, superintendent OF the
city waterworlSs department, made the
above statement last night.
Superintendent HOLIDAY said that there
was absolutely no water in the Thlr-
teenth East street reservoir last night
and that every source Of the city water
supply was adequate TO meet about hall
of the total demand.
"The streams which supply Salt Lake
with water" said he, "arc very low. and
the people OF the city will face a serious
crisis. Something must be done.
The shortage IN water begins about
; o'clock, when people begin TO water
their lawns. and 1t continues until about
0 o'clock. During this time the fire pro-
lection over the entire city suffers 10 an
alarming extent. Had there been a big
fire in The northeastern part Of the city
would have had nothing to do. There
was no water IN the mains in that dis
trIct OF the city. In the downtown por-
tions OF tho city big fire. with only
forty pounds water pressure, would mean
q calamity.
This entire condition can be overcome
and the city can have efficient tirc pro-
lection Ii only the water hogs choose
to change their tactics.
'The water supply reached such low
ebb yesterday as TO render conditions
alarming and all because OF the great
waste OF water. One OF my men went
out tonight for the purpose OF shutting
of water which was being wasted
eat one house the wafer had puddled
TO about two inches deep on the lawn
and the lady of the house was sitting
on the front porch watching the process
which was robbing the city of fire pro
toction and deprlving about half Of salt
Lake OF water. My man told her about
and after It was explained TO her the
amount OF water she was wasting, she
only said. We'll, isn't that too bad.
