And so these obligations of the
StubbS administration were hand
ed on to the Hodges administra-
ton, and it is only by charging the
Hodges administration with these
items that an excess of expendi-
ture in 1914 can be made out. All
OF these buildings should have
been completed and paid for dur
ing the fiscal year 1912, and by
any fair system of accounting,
they are chargeable not to the
Hodges administration of 1914.

the 1912 column, and see what

WHY a water famineg

Why water famineg
Why should the city of Tacoma be facing short
age because of break in its gravity water SYSTEM
when il has of the finest electric pumping auxi
larry stations in the Northwestg
Why should citizens be forced to haul water in
wash boilers and tubs and teakettes for blocks and
miles, when there are wells at South Tacoma that
have heretofore easily supplied the city with plenty
of water for domestic purposesf
The answer is simple.
We are paying the penalty of blunders of former
officials.
pumps capable of supplying water TO all parts of the
city during emergency. These pumps were left
as auxiliary stations when the gravity system was
completed, despite the strenuous arguments OF Sey
mour and Lawson that they ought to be dismantled.
If they had been dismantled, Tacoma would have
been without a single drop of water since Sunday
morning.
But the former city administration unable to
complish its dismantling scheme did something al
most as bad. 1t transformed the big main line
flume running from the South Tacoma pumping sta
ton to the Hood street reservoir into trunk
er. And result, although the pumps able to
supply all the water that Tacoma should need, there
are only two small pipes from South Tacoma to the
city through which this water can be carried. And
the pipes small that they cannot carry more
than one-haf of the amount being used every hour
by the city.
The former administration could conceive of no
possible break that would incapacitate the Green
river gravity water system for period longer than
that which the emergency reservoirs could supply.
And a result of their egotistcal idea of the per-
fectness of our new water system, Tacoma is now
watching city fire engine pump water from the
Puyallup river within 20 feet of exposed privy,
into the water mains of the city, in desperate at
tempt to keep water pressure up for fire purposes.
As a matter of fact the Green river break should
never have occurred anyway. And it would never
have occurred had not Lawson and Project Engineer
Manley ordered contractors to cease cutting down
trees along the pipe line. They declared that the
trees would not fall in a hundred years.
Our water famine shows that sometimes pro-
ject engineers and commissioners don't know what
they talking about.
And it answers the question
"Why a water famneq''
