 Must Increase Water Supply.
 The need of increasing Putnam supply of city water, as set forth at q special meeting of the common coun- | cil, has aroused many citizens who had not previously given much atten- | tion to the matter. to the fact that something must be done to adequately protect the city's property from a firt hazard that is considered in insurance 1 quarters as exceedingly grave.
 | There is general recognition of tht | fact that some means must be found
 to increase. the city's reserve suppl1
 of water. but the thing that hurts tht
 most is that such a large improve
 ment must. it appears, be undertaken at a time when war prices must bt
 Eaid for the material and labor needet
 to do the work.
