lied the gravity of the water situation,
but said ne thought it would be a real
calamity to shut down all Industries
in Ardmore which are dependent upon
the city water supply for operation,
and throw all these men out of EN-
ployment at a season of the year when
they can i'll afford to be idle.
The judge further stated that the
city through its Chamber of Com
merce, was continually making efforts
20 secure new industries for Ardmore
and 1t would be bad policy to adver-
tise to the commercial world that Ard
more was likely to cut off its water
supply from them at any time, should
they come and operate here.
The fire menace was also a phase
that came in for quite a lot of discus
sion on the streets but no one could
definitely state that their rates had
been increased or that they had been
denied insurance on account of the
present water supply.
According to statement of City En-
gineor Tom Matthews and Water Sup
erintendent Zed Cromwell the water at
the lake at the present time is 81 in

Several bankers who have express

statement Of City Engineer Tom Mat

there was water enough in the city
lake at present to last Ardmore under
any and all conditions, for period
Of 100 days, with AN allowance of
jO,00o,O00 gallons for evaporation and
seepage.
