Statistics Indicate Cry of Water
Famine May Be Like FabIed Call of
"WolH WolH' When There Was no Wolf
By GENE BYRNES

In the columns of Thursdays Ard
moreite under the caption, "Ardmore
Mayor and City Commissioners Exercise
Judiciary Powers; Mandatorily Cut off
| Water Supply Of Manufacturing Indus
| tries" appeared u city hall story telling
of the peremptory manner of action of
the mayor and the city commissioners
at the meeting held Wednesday after
noon, relative to the water condition by
which Ardmores public is confronted.
In the Resolution" it was set forth,
practically in detail, that the exigencies
of the occasion demand that all indus
tries be cut off from water at o'clock
Thursday afternoon that this action
was made necessary on account of the
short supply of water at the city lake;
that the report of the water superinten-
dent showed 80 inches more water in
the city lake than was in that place last
June.
Following this action by the commits.
sioners it is said that a number of in
dustries, through their managers. pro
posed to file injunction proceedings
against the city, enjoining the threaten
ed cutoff of water
County Attorney Brown when ap.
preached in the matter stated that the
proposed proceedings by the mayor and
commissioners would have to be acted
against by the individual consumers,
proceeding civily; that the statutes
made no provision whereby the county
attorney in his official capacity. would
be empowered to act.
An Ardmore attorney when asked for
an opinion, stated that it was possible
the county attorney might be in a posi-
tion to act. should the matter come to
Il show down, upon the grounds that,
unless it could be established the water
supply was nearing the danger line the
cutting off of water from the industrial
institutions of Ardmore would be an
act against public policy.
Statistics of the city are alleged to
be to the effect that the report of City
Engineer Hickson shows that on June
| 28. 1918, the city lake contained 10S ,S18,.
600 gallons of water.
The present city engineer, Tom Mat
hews, states that the water level at the
city lake, on November 10, 1919, was
approximately 80 inches higher than it
was at the date mentioned in Engineer
Hickson's report. Thic means, City En-.
gineer Matthews says, that there is now
approximately l5O,OOO,O 900 gallons of
water in the city lake; that, allowing
for continuance of the present con-
sumption of 100 900 gallons per day, this
supply will be sufficient, not augmented
by further rains, to last Ardmore for 100
days, after allowing 50,000,000 gallons
loss by evaporation and seepage.
Engineer Matthews stated that it may
Be conservatively estimated that one
third of all precipitation goes into the
city lake; that the figures above quot.
ed do not allow for any increase in the
water supply from precipitation, but
simply show that enough water is now
in the lake to last the city of Ardmore,
continuing TO use the same daily
amount now being consumed, for 100

A. HEAD AS A HATRACK

NOR MANY WEEKS it has been plain that
L even republican newspapers were firing Of
the investigations" which certain congresson-
al committees are conducting either for their
own glorificaton or for the purpose of political
propaganda-but ostensibly to inquire into eX-
penditures during the war From an attitude
of approval several journals have changed to
a demeanor Of indifference. and lately to a
posture of open hostility to the investigators.
No democratic paper has been harsher with
these congressional inQuisitors than the Chicago
Tribune, a republican organ, has shown itself
to be with respect to Representative Bland one
of the most eager Of the partisan Investigators
The Tribune was particularly annoyed at Rep
resentatiye Bland'S statement that when he and
other members of congressional sub-commit-
tee went to France they found General Per-
shing 900 miles from the front when the
battle of Chateau Theny was at its height"
"The congressional Mr.. Bland and all the
other Mr.. Bands think it important that gen.
eral occasionally should permit himself the
pleasure of quitting his duty and making a dash
at the enemy at the head of the heavy dra-
goons" comments the Tribune with sarcasm
In final paragraph, aimed like a dagger
at the investigators" the Tribune utters SEN
timent that many other papers and persons
share The paper said:
What American opinion is going beggar for
is bit of common sense As u hatrack Mr.
BlandS is some head"
