A very much reduced force in water
pressure over the city, and at inter-
walls a complete shut off has occa.
stoned many queries as to the rea-
son for the failure in water supply.
According to the city manager every
pump in the power plant is in operat-
ing condition and is doing its utmost
yet the pumping capacity is insult
ficient and unable to more than
supply the water mains. Every pump
is working directly upon the mains,
with an occasional use of the fire
pump to keep the necessary pressure
For the past several days the de-
mand for water from the mains has
been so great that it has been impos-
sib1e to fill the water tower at the
plant, hence the city has no emer-
gency supply. and should a shut
down be necessary the public would
be greatly Inconvenience.
Together with the Inconvenience
of weak water supply is the jeo-
pardy to fire protection. The city
is endeavoring to hold a minimum
supply as a fire precaution, but this
supply must necessarily be used in
the event the demand exceeds the

Despite H. c. l..
Few N. E. People
Seek Aims Houses

The poorhouse business is growing
poorer. With thousands OF people clam
oring about the high cost of living,
the fact comes to light that the total
number of persons admitted to the
charitable institutions of New Eng
land during the last six months Is
less than Ii has been for that same
period in many years.
Less Poor In v. s.
Reports from the other districts
throughout the country show that the
poor houses In all the states are feel
ing the same falling off in business.
Scarcity OF labor. high prices paid
to skilled and unskiiled workmen,
prohibition, and the cultivation OF un-
precedented habits OF thriftiness
among the American people. are sala
to be responsible for the principal de-
crease in the number of inmates reg
istered in the various poor houses
and other charitable instltutlons
throughout the country.
Thousands of people In New Eng
land have invested their savings in
Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps,
Treasury Saving Certificates and
other Government securities, which In
a large measure accounts for the
financial independence of the people,
as shown by the decreasing number
of admissions to the countrys poor
houses.
Hundreds Practice Thrift
Mrs. +. L. Higginson, director OF
savings for the First Federal Re-
serve District, states that there Is a
greater number OF people in New
England practicing thrift now than
before the war However, she states
that there Is still large number OF
people in these states, who as yet
have not learned the benefits to be
derived from Thrift and the proper
investment OF their savings In safe
securities, rather than in untried in
vestments.
