News that Mrs. Charles w. Nancor,
nation at the city farm on upper Mer-

sorrow by people here in the city proper.
Recently the matron complained of in
disposition and took to her bed, only to
have her illness diagnosed few days
later as pneumonia. Yesterday grave
fears for her recovery were entertained
and the attending physicians described
her condition as extremely serious. In
mates at the farm. of which there are
10. are receiving the excellent care to
which they have been accustomed and

For the first time this summer. water
in the eity's largest reserve basin, the
reservoir at Orange, has receded in an
appreciable measure. Recently some of
the city officials made trip TO the reser-
voir and found the water level only with
a point some four feet below the rim.
Apparently a perceptible drop may be
noted each day. although the water is
far from being as low as il was in the
dusty DAYS Of August, 1918. Water Off
cials feel no apprehension over the situa-
tion. as they point 20 similar recessions
in the water in former years. There is
feeling. however. that timely steps
must be taken 20 prevent waste Of
water among heavy and light consumers
