FOOD ADMINISTRATION
WILL COOPERATE

The food administration will CO.
operate with the city in the efforts
70 conserve water until the danger
line is passed. City Food Admins
traitor Walter s. Gilbert, after a
conference with Russell Brown,
county food administrator, visited
, the city lake with an engineer yes
terday and secured first-hand the
facts concerning the present water
supply.
THE situation is critical" is the
report made this forenoon, "and
drastic measures must be adopted to
insure safety until adequate rains or
temporary relief is secured. The
meter reading at the pump station,
for the "a hours ending at 3 o'clock
yesterday, showed 77S,600 gallons,
while the visible supply is, accord
ing to the engineer, less than lOO,-
100000 gallons. Every violation OF
the ordinances should be immediate
ly reported to the city authorities
and unless the meter at the pump
station shows decided falling oif
within the next few days a recon-
mendation will be made to the coun-
Gil that water only be allowed at
stated intervals, twice day.
Il do not believe our people ap-
preciate how serious the situation
is" Mr.. Gilbert said, but they must
wake up. Every possible means
should be adopted to conserve wat
er. We are in midsummer and have
no assurances of rains which will
give any relief for several months.
In the meantime every assistance
should be given the city to aid con-
servation and to speed up the con-
servation OF the new supply"
