DOM WASTE WATER
URGES MAYOR BOWEN

In order that the residents Of the
higher points in the city may have
water, extreme conservation must be
practiced by the residents OF the
lower points who have an abundance
Of water. During the past few days
Mayor Bowen has received many tele-
phone calls from the residents Of the
higher points who complain about the
extravaganza Of the people who live
down low and who have all the water
they need.
In some sections people have been
reported to be using their hose to
wash automobiles, and 10 water their
gardens.
Mayor Bowen terms the eXtravagant
use of water as a crime, In speaking
Of the conservation OF water Mayor
Bowel this morning said: people on
the hills are not yet getting water and
it is a positive crime for people on the
lower levels 10 use water eXtravagant-
~. All people on the lower levels
must economic. II is q crime for the
people on the lower levels 10 use hose

the pumps can be shut down and the
other boiler thoroughly retubed.
The work toward retubing one OF
the boilers was begun yesterday.
Workmen have been on the Job con
iinually and II is the belief OF those IN
charge that the one boiler will be re-
tubed by tonight.
Yesterday afternoon at four o'clock
the SPECIAL committee appointed at the
Chamber OF Commerce meeting, met
with Commissioner Smith for the pur.
pose OF getting report on the water
situation. The biggest surprise OF the
afternoon, to the expert mechanics as
well as TO the ether members OF the
committee was the report from the
pump station that the Epping Carpen.

Grated entirely by steam from one To-

mechanics who made an investigation
Of the energy required that 1t would
