Complaints are daily received by the
water department. Of residents who
turn on water and allow the lawns to
be sprinkled all night, and In many
instances cause n flooding OF adjacent
lawns and sidewalks.
The new measure, il is expected, will
provide that no one will he allowed to
use water for sprinlsling' unless some
member Of the household or some one
duly authorized holds the hose. BY
this means it is expected that unneces-
sary uso Of water will bo largely done
away with. It is planned in the case
Of large lawns whore more than one
hose is used. or in parks. to issue a
special permit allowing a certain mum
Der of streams of water to be used il
specified hours.
Anyone who is caught using the wa
ter after hours OF unnecessarily vast
