HALT WATER WASTE,
WARNS THE MAYOR

Neglect Following Hasty
Sale of Homes

The haste with which houses are

shortage In this city, according to
Mayor Moore.
In an appeal to the people against
the waste of water the Mayor said

in the water bureau, and arc doing
what we can to catch up; but one
Of the worst difficulties we now have
TO contend with is the waste of water
"a waste that has been gradually in =
creasing, due partly. to weather con :
ditions. but more largely to defective
plumbing appliances and the careless
use of water. Owners and occupants
of property are largely responsible,
and some blame can be attached to the
haste with which houses are bought and
Sold"
Prior to issuing his appeal the Mayor
had a conference with John G. Win
ston, director of the Department of
Public Works, and Carleton e. Davis,
chief of the water bureau.
At this conference a plan to increase
the pay Of employees of the waer bureau
was also discussed.
The employees threatened a strike
several months ago unless greater com
