WATER SITUATION
IS MUCH IMPROVED
New Sprinkling Rules Result
in Stoppage of Waste in
Many Sections.

A marked improvement in the condi-
tion of Salt Lake City's water supply
was noted yesterday and last night,
This was result of the fact that the
people of the city are practically unan-
imous in their determination to assist
the department by refraining from the
waste of the supply. 1t is the opinion
of the officers Of the water department
that as soon as the water users of the
city understand the new sprinkling dis
tricts and the hours that they are al
lowed to use water that the danger will
be thing of the past.
W. II. Korns. commissioner of water
works, announced last night that he be-
beved every water user in the city had
had time to learn of the new rules of
the department and that from now on
prosecutions would be commenced
against all who violate the rules.
Last night a big force OF inspectors
was detailed for duty throughout the
city. They were instructed to turn the
water Off at every place where they
found it being unlawfully used and to
file complaints against the users this
morning In the event that complaints
that the water would not he turned on
again until the user had installed me-
ters.
a distinct improvement was shown In
the water pressure yesterday afternoon,
The guage indicated pressure of from
sixty-fiVe to eighty pounds, the best
record made in the week past. The i'm
provement was attributed TO the new
sprlnkling regulations At the request
of DR., Samuel G., Paul, city health COM
thirty~two Of the fifty street
ssprinklers, were put to work for few
hours yesterday.
DR.. Paul insisted that unless some
sprinkling was done there was danger
of an epidemic OF contagious disease in
many parts OF the city. DR.. Paul de-
clared yesterday afternoon that it was
more important to take care Of the
health Of the city than to save the
lawns The business district of the city
was flushed yesterday morning and will
ue again flushed this morning.
AS a further relief the city commits.
sion yesterday appropriated $500 to the
street department, on the recommenda-
tion Of w. j. Tuddenham, street super
visor. Two pumps are to be installed
at springs on the west side to supply
water TO sprinklers. The springs are
to furnish about 100000 gal
Ions Of water day for sprinkling dur
ing the present shortage.
1t is also expected that one or more
pumps will be installed on the east side

The father and mother, as we'll ms
Sheriff Smith, are Of the opinion that
1t Is simply case of "home sick

was born in Australia and lived in
that country until about year ago,
when he came TO Salt Lake City
with his parents, leaving two broth

COUNTY WILL NOT
TAKE OVER SPEEDWAY
Unofficial Poll of Commits

That Salt Lake county will not take

The official decision will be made next
week
In speaking Of the proposition last
night, one member Of the commission
said:

should take over the speedway at
this time, 1t is a stretch of about
ten miles through alkali dust The
road might be made good one by
being covered with shalc or something
else. then rolled and then covered
with oil. but Just why Salt Lake
county should own 1t is something
that l cannot understand, at least at
this time.
II would be good road for auto

at the time that the lake season was

to reach the speedway YOU have 10
pass from the center OF the city over
many railroad tracks, through the
least attractive part OF the city. and
then onto q stretch OF dust Tor many
miles.
This does not appear to me as be-
ing an incentive to auto visitors who
wish to take trip to the lake. After

that q far better trip would be down
