CRESCENT CITY SEWERS

New orleans, DecemDer ov-All Coiu weather records for December in this city were broken today when the weather bureau thermometer registered 19 degrees above zero at a. m. On December 30, 1880, the temperature was 20 above The lowest temperature ever recorded here was on February 13, 1889, when the read ing was above.
 A bright sun caused a gradual rise to S2 above at o'clock this afternoon but after sundown the mercury went down to 3l where Dr. I. M. Cline, district fore caster, stated it probably would remain during tonight.
 A slight rise in temperature was pre- dicted for tomorrow.
 CITY WITHOUT WATER
 Virtually all farm and garden truck was believed killed last night, although in some of the lower coast sections grow CTS were able to save their truck by heavy coverings. Outdoor flowers and decorative plants in the city were prac- tically all killed despite coverings. The better grades of oranges all have been picked and aside from truck there was little of value believed destroyed in the food line.
 TRUCK IS KILLED
 Water pipes were frozen in the city ana lO1lgnC lHOuSdHuS Ol pcISOilS were without water in their homes. Water was cbtainable at all times, however, al city pumping stations. fire plugs and al many of the residences where the hy. drants were protected.
 Many of the numerous dealers in 'coal ana wood who sell coal by the bucket and wood in scent quantities had sold out by noon today and stated they would be unable to obtain further supplies before tomorrow
 Suffering was reported from among the poorer white and negro classes who were unable to purchase fuel in sufficient quantity to tide them through the cold spell.
