A Word of Caution to Water Users

For the past week, or since the city
water pipes have been frozen up, the
water supply has been coming thru the
Lamb-Davi Lumber Co.'S pipe line,
but for which the city would be with
out water for domestic use as we'll as
fire protection. The mill company is
under no obligation to furnish the city
with water When the condition be-
came known to Mr.. Gardner, the resi-
dent manager for the company, that
gentleman very promptly ordered the
company's water supply turned into
the city's pipe line. Now the supply
from that source is not unlimited and
it behooves every water user not to use
more than is necessary, and above all
things not to allow water to run to
waste. If fire should break ~out a
sufficient water supply is highly i'm
portant. 1t is the duty Of every prop
erty owner to economic in water and
urge water conservation on his neigh
