WATER SITUATION
SEEMS TO Be WELL
IN HAND IN CITY
Water In Reservoirs Protect City
From Fire and Pumps Are Keep
ing Mains Filled-An Water
Should Be Boiled Before
Using-Ice Situation
Looks Good.

The water situation in Maysville,
which for the past several days has
been very serious, now seems to be
pretty we'll in hand Before noon Sun
day there was enough water in the re-
seIvoir to warrant the turning of a
portion of the supply into the city
mains. The reservoir now has enough
water to protect the city against fire
and the homes are being supplied with
water that is being pumped directly
into the mains from the river without
treatment.
Because of the season of the year
health authorities warn against using
the water before boiling it as to use
the water as 1t comes through the
pipes now may cause a typhoid fever
epidemic.
There must be no waste in water
in any way until the situation has en-
tirely passed for while, we now have
water and conditions are 100 per cent
better than they were Saturday, there
is yet a likelihood OF another water
famine should anything 60 wrong.
The ice situation Is much better.
There were deliveries made this morn
ing and this afternoon but patrons
| were limited to a small supply. The
factory is running night and day, how
ever, and by tomorrow the city's ice
famine will have been practically
passed.
Directors of the Maysville Water
Company, from Louisville, are here
and have held several conferences.
They have visited their plant and re-
servoir and know at first hand just
the condition of things. citizens are
new anxiously awaiting the next move
in the game which seems to be theirs.
! Just what the owners.sof the water
plant and system will do to perma-
nently solve the situation, now that
the situation is only temporarily
solved and is liable to break down at
any time, will be anxiously awaited
by the people of Maysville.

Bureau. Under the heading. Tampa
Became Too Sure of Her Future and
Has Been Loser" Mr.. Macfarlane
states:
Ten years ago one class OF citi~
zens argued that the foundation of
the city was firmly laid and that it
was no longer necessary to offer in
ducements for new industries, for we
were of sufficient Importance to hold
everything that we had and that 9TH
| ers would come without expense to
us That if anything was done in the
way of city building it should be
along other lines. They secured a
folloWing because their projects were
portrayed in pleasing language, and
the unthinking will always follow the
man or set of men that promises to
I give something for nothing, but
thinking men know that things of
value can only be had for a price. We
all now realize that a mistake was
made; that since we slackened in in
dustrial development we have not in
creased our wealth and population at
the same rate; that many of our
merchants have suffered financial dis
tress and have been praying for re-
llef, and that whatever relief they
have had has come from an increase
of industrial workers during the past
two years.
The Industrial Bureau promises
to bring diversified industries into
Tampa that will give employment to
Il great number of people at fair
wages. and that these industries shall
be such as can operate here as sue
ceSsfully as elsewhere. They do not
intend to part with the ownership or
deliver TO any manufacturer ANYTHING
OF va,ue until he has an established
business in successful operation and
sufficient capital to operate that bus
mess. They intend that every dollar
bestowed as an inducement shall be
spent in the erection of permanent
factory buildings, so that if one man
ufacturer from any cause suspends
operations another can occupy the
same building. They propose that
these factory buildings shall be erect
cd on tract Of land owned by the
industrial corporation, and that the
appreciation in value and sale of the
adjoining lands will pay fair profit
TO the stockholders, as well as the ex-
pense of building the factory. The
business men of Tampa should be the
stockholders in this corporation. for
they will derive all the benefits ac-
cruing therefrom.
The foregoing clearly indicates
that one city at least which has been
with neelecting its opportun-
tiles is beginning tg throw off its
dr3ws:ness."

rage at any point, the danger lies
in being run down by a car coming
in either direction. No man can look
two days at once. If he carefully
looks one way car is sure to be
coming the other way. 1t is a fact
that many car drivers go too fast
on the business blocks of Main street
a fellow has to be pretty agile to get
out of their way.
1T would not be bad idea if the
city were to build an overhead bridge
on that street and thus give the speed
iiends an unobstructed right of way.
THE main trouble, as we see it. is
that too many cars are allowed to
park on Main street Apparently
there is no ordinance to prevent these
cars staying there all day In most
up-to-date cities cars are not allowed
to stay in one spot on business
street longer than thirty minutes.
There seems to be no time limit here.
1t is bad situation and it is up to
the city authorities to apply rem
edy."
Perhaps after while Rock Hill
will follow Lancaster's example and
not permit cars parked on certain
streets at all. Lancaster has such
ordinance, and, to the credit of the
people who drive automobiles here. il
may be said, it has b cen we'll respect
ed since its passage. In the case of
this city, the ordinance covers the
paved portion of Main street from the
courthouse to the depot, and no car is
permitted to remain I'm this area for
more than FIVE minutes. The ordi-
nance in Lancaster met with some on
position when it was first put in
force, and. perhaps, does yet: it
causes some inconvenience to the peo-
pie but it lessons the danger to the
pedestrian. Whether the enforcement
OF such ordinance prevents accidents
is an open question. There have been
several slight accidents on Main
street since the ordinance has been
in force, but who is in position to say
there would not have b cen a greater
number had the ordinance not been
passed?

mobiles to stop at certain street inter-
