CONSERVE THE WATER

The continued dry weather is
slowing up the flow Of the springs
and seriously threatens a water
shortage.
In view of this situation water
users are urged to use as little as
possible, and to carefully guard
against waste.
The sprinkling Of lawns and gar
dens must be discontinued at once,
If we can have the faithful co0pera-
ton of all concerned in conserving
the water, we believe il will not be
necessary to cut anybody off.

water will confer a favor by notify
ing Superintendent Dick at the
