POLICE WANT MORE.
Ask for Another Ten Per Cent In
crease in Salaries.

To meet what they term the high
cost of living, the members of the To-
peka POLICE force have petitioned the
city commissioners for raise in sal
airy. fEt
In their petition they do not state
what per cent they wish to be added
to their present monthly stipend, but
they leave it with the city officials to
add what they think will match the
higher cost of providing bread for the
home.
It was only about year ago that
the city policemen received a raise
of 10 per cent. But the officers of
the force have decided they need
more and with Chief Jenkins as the
head sigRer they have filed a petition.
On account of the fact that the city
commissioners have made their bud
get for this year the police will not
receive the raise until next year-if
they get it at all. Some of the COM
missionera favor the move and othera
are against it-but the proposition has
not come to vote

Condition at City WaterwOrk
More Serious.
Excessive Lawn Sprinkling Il
Prohibited.
BETWEEN $3.50 AND $3.50
These Are Rules for Sprinkling
Hours in the City.
If This Doesn't Work-Water
ing Will Be Prohibited.

The water condition has become SO
| serious in Topeka that H. P. Miller
city water commissioner, has ordered
/ that all lawn sprinkling be done be-
tween the hours of gao and $3.50 in
the evening. These orders take eff
feet at once and if they are not COM
piled with by the people of the city
imm ediately, beginning next week the
city officials viii prohibit the use OF
water for sprinkling.
In the State Journal last Saturday
evening the water commissioner and
the superintendent of the waterworks
pleaded with the people of the city to
water their lawns with care and econ
0my. Sunday evening and Monday
evening of this week the effect of the
felt safe. Tuesday the people forgot
the danger and last night the
sprinkling was as wastefEl as ever.
Only After GAO.
Now the city will give the people
one more warning. All sprinkling
must be done between the hours Of
$3.50 and $50. If the orders are not
obeyed and the people pay no atten-
ton to the warnings all sprinkling viii
be prohibited and the people viii find
it necessary to sit on their front
porches and watch their lawns dry up
and die.
Topeka has not received a good rain
for many weeks and the water supply
at the citv water works is running
low Commissioner Miller says there
is no danger from a complete droutn
because enough will be on hand al
ways for fire purposes.
sCities all over the country in the
dry districts are suffering" said the
commissioner this afternoon. I'm some
cities they have cut out Spr1nkl1ng
and all unnecessary use OF water. In
a city in Texas few days ago they
fined a woman ten dollars for using
water to scrub her porch and they
only pump water once a day Every
one must gather enough water at the
one pumping to last them the entire
day.
sOf course we will never reach that
stage in Topeka but we have come to
point where something must be done
and done Immediately We are PEI
fectly willing that all lawns be sprin-
killed. but it must be done between the
hours of / have mentioned This Will
be tried and then if the people refuse
to obey our instructions we will place
ban on all water for this purpose. .
Using -Four Million Gallons
The people of the city are using four
millions of gallons of water day at
this time The recent growth of the
city and the number Of new lawns in
the city have caused an excessive USE
of water for sprinkling purposes The
water in the wells at the water works
is low. No rain has soaked the
ground to pHsmise a renewed supply.
The water officials are worried and
they ask the people of Topeka to wor-
ry with them.
Water has been turned off in the
city parks in an attempt to give more
water to the patrons.
