No Water Famine This Year.

Caught in one of the heaviest rains OF
this section for some weeks, the Mayor
and members of the Board of Aldermen
and few invited friends spent rather an
unpleasant day on the mountalnside on
Tuesday, August nth. They, however.
were ialrly comfortable under the broad
tops OF the automobiles The party re-
turned to Frederick, firm in the belief
that Frederick this year will face no
water famine, and that Fishing Greek
and Ok Creek will furnish Frederick
with an ample supply of water throughout
the summer. 1t is claimed that 200 GAL
Ions per minute or more is running over
Fishing Creek dam and Ok Creek.
which was just added to the city's sup
ply, will furnish a large quantity of
water.
