water Users Complain.
People in South Omaha complain OF
the shortage Of water during the last
two days. On Thursday night many wers
without water for several hours and some
to relieve their thirst were compelled 70
carry jars and buckets Of water from
the springs at Spring Lake park. Late
yesterday many complained that they
were not allowed enough water to
sprinkle their lawns. The explanation OF
the water company was not generally
accepted in regard to the reason of the
shortage. 1t Is claimed by many that the
unseetnly haste with which the meter
system is being urged shows greater
desire to increase the returns OF the
water board than to minister to the com
fort of the people and improve the old
system.
