SCANT WATER SUPPLY
/ WASTED AT CITY HALL
Jobholders and Visitors Boost
Daily Total to Nearly
+ 100000 Gallons
HOME RATION SHORT
Carelessness and Poor Plumbing
Cause Failure to
Conserve

As wasters of water the municipal
departments in City Hall stand first.
and the water lost every twenty-four
hours through carelessness and anti
quated plumbing would supply scores OF
small homes.
Daily consumption of water at City
Hall averages between $4,000 and 500,-
900 gallons. The hall is metered. but
the city pays nothing to the Water
Bureau for the steady flow from the
twelve-inch main that carries the sup
ply direct from the Georges Hill res
ervoir.
All of the plumbing N City Hall has
been in use for the greater part Of a
quarter of a century. and at the time
Of installation no thought was given to
the question of water conservation. In
the retiring rooms, water runs contin-
uousy all day and often for hours after
the official business Ior the day is
ended.
Large quantities of water are con-
sumed daily in the operation OF the
heating plant, and hot water Is car
rjed TO most of the coo rooms and more
in the big building.
The building Is in charge of Chief
Arthur, of the Bureau of City Prop
erty who, like his predecessors. mas
IL impossible materially to reduce waste.
Tho chief is plumber. but without
an adequate appropriation from Councils
cannot remedy conditions that add TO
the daily waste of water at a time
when sections Of the city have only
partial supply.
Because of the large number OF per-
sons doing business each day in CITY
Hall. an estimate of the number OF gaI-
Ions allotted per capita cannot be made.
n is calculated, however, that the daiiy
allowance to employees and visitors is
in excess of the 2oo-gallon per capita
allowance pumped to the city each day

SEC. BAKER WANTS
ARMY VOLUNTEERS
Will Not Have Men Enough to Per-
form Regular Police
Duties.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Immediate
legislation authorizing resumption of vol.
untary enlistment in the army and the re-
peal of provisions of the Selective Ser.
vice act limiting enhstments to the Pc
Rod Of the war was urged yesterday by
See. Baker in letter to Chairman Dent
of the house military committee.
Without the legislation, Sec. Baker said,
the army after the proclamation of peace
would not have sufficient forces to per-
form essential military duties, including
the policing of the Mexican border.
This legislation is urgently necessary >
he writes, because as soon after the proc
lamatlon of peace as the existing emer-
gency viii permit those who have enlisted
or been drafted to serve during the cmer.
gency must all, in accordance with the
law, be discharged. Generalization OF
these men is now being rapidly made and
it is expected soon to release them at a
rate of over 10000 day or 100000 a week.
The only men who will remain in the
service are those men who enlisted in the
regular army on or prior to April /, 1917,
and whose enhstments have not yet ex-
pired.
This small number has been cut down
by casualties and other vicissitudes until
the entire military force OF the United
states that can be retained in the service
will be absolutely inadequate and INSULT
Gent TO perform such essential military
duties az policing the Mexican border,

ment property and maintaining and oper-

overseas may be sent for prompt demo
bilization.
Early passage of this legislation will
enable the war department to replace BY
voluntary enlistment men drafted or en-
listed Tor the emergency. who can then
be discharged from the service and re.
turned to their homes and families

BOLSHEVIK PAPER MONEY,
90 BILLIONS OF RUBLES
Financial Reform Plans Dormant
Since Premier Lenine's An
nouncement a Month Ago.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW. Friday. June 2s.-The
amount Of paper money issued by the
boshevik government and now in cir
culation aggregates 10000 000, 900
rubles. Since the declaration by Pre-
mier Lenine a month ago that new
money would be issued and the old
money be devalued, plans for finan-
cial reform apparently have laid DOR
mant as no steps have been announc-
ed to provide the indirect taxation
raid by Lenine. and the money presses
are still turning out paper at the rate
of three billion rubles monthly.
A statement of the financial depart
ment, published in the Isvestia. says
the latest reports, show that the as
sets of nationalized and private banks
aggregate thirty billion rubes
Commenting on the proposed deval-
uation of money, the statement says
the believed devaluation can be ac-
complished only as it is done in Aus
tria, that Is, without gold exchange,
as metallic devaluation presupposes
the preliminary establishment OF a
rate Of exchange.
The finance department officials in
discussing their attitude toward for
eign credit in Russia and the nation-
alization Of foreign banks say they
favor the greatest possible limitation
of the sphere of action of foreign
credit institutions in Russia. The gov
ernnents financial program probably
will be considered by the all-Russian
congress Of Soviets at its coming
meeting.
