and some not so secret. but the
average affair remains dark only
d few minutes after the happy
bride tells her next friend and the
equally happy groom tells some of his

mighty long time, but it took just that
long for G. n. Child, supervisor of the

that he had daughter.in-law. His son.
Pbilo G. Child, who has been out Of

Eva Weber had been married March IS.
Louis Weber, the photographer, father
weeks ago. but acting on instructions
from his daughter, had said nothing.
The young people will start housekeeps

parents.
The fact that the two had been sweet
hearts has long been known to their
friends, but the news of their marriage

been given their friends

SAYS RESIDENTS ARE.
WASTING WATER
City Commissioner and Superintendent
Disagree About Cause
In Shortage.

Unrea asona BILE waste Of water is the
chief menace facing the city at present
rather than any marked shortage in the
supply. according to c. F. Barrett, su-
perintendent Of Water~orks for the city.
THE flow in the streams Is about
normal and there has been no falling
off OF 5000. 900 gallons In the daily fiow.' s.
said Mr., Barrett. Gas I have pointed
out all along, the trouble lies with the
distributing system and the unreasoning
waste OF water by citizens"
In an interview Monday Commissioner
w. II. korns said that the difficulty
lay with a diminution OF the flow In the
various canyon streams.
Mr.. Barrett has dispatched inspectors
throughout the city with instructions to
shut off water connections where waste
is going on. The new city ordinance
allows thirty minutes sprinlIling for each
100 square yards OF lawn and the water
officials intend to enforce the ordinance
to the letter during the remainder OF the
summer
The ordinance Is perfectly reasonable
according to. the superintendent, who
holds that any further use OF water than
thirty minutes 10 the 100 yards does the
lawn more damage than good.
The pressure on the water gauge In
the water office registered between 50
and 90 pounds 10 the square inch yes
terday The normal pressure is about
100 pounds.
