ture the most promising material out
of the tall timbers in the city of To-

WARN WATER CONSUMERS
Home Owners Responsible il Walks
or Drives Arc Built Over Pipes.


The city water department will not
dig up sidewalks and driveways to
make repairs in service lines. Fred
Painter, superintendent. declared to-
day.
Painter urges all persons contem-
plating building of sidewalks or drives
to avoid building over the service lines.
If they conflict with the plans for
building, the persons should have the
lines taken up and relaid. The water
department mas had trouble with
property owners after it has dug un-
der or near walks and wishes to avoid
similar difficulties in the future. The
owners have claimed that the walks
sank after repairs wee made. Here
after-if anything gets the matter with
service lines under sidewalks or drives,
the city will shut off the water in the
street and not turn it ON until the
property owner has changed the loca-
ton of the line.
Painter also announced that the
city will not, under any circumstance,
read more than one meter to a serv-
ice. Certain plumbers in Topeka, he
said, tell consumers they may have
two meters pead, in apartment houses.
for example, in order ito increase
plumbing expenses. Recently the wa
ter department refused to read more
than one meter in an apartment house
in which several had been installed at
the advice of a plumber.
