STATEMENT TO THE
PUBLIC BY MAYOR

II is, perhaps, pretty well known
by this time that approximately
sixty thousand gallons daily Of the
water which should have been con-
served for the use of the Inhabitants
OF the city have been diverted to the
use Of the Western Pacific Railway
Company, and by this company used
along its line eastward and westward
OF the city, thus depriving the water
users of the city OF the use of the
same. l am credibly informed that
the amount so diverted Is much
greater than the amount given, but
have been unable to verify this In
formation as yet The figures stated
were given me by a company official
did not learn of this condition un-
til this morning. and upon learning
OF 1t. Immediately took steps to stop
the practice. Upon bringing the mat
ter to the attention Of the ofiicial
mentioned. he very readily and cor
daily agreed that the company could
get It's water from other sources, and
that no more water would be used
from the city mains, until the local
situation had improved.
This statement Is made in view of
the fact that as mayor of the city l
have been urging upon the people
greater economy In the use of water
for irrigation purposes and have pre-
pared and recommended the passage
OF The ordinance now being published.
would not have the public believe
that would knowingly and as pub
lie Official urge and even enforce by
ordinance greater economy in the use
Of water for city purposes. and at the
same time permit thousands of gal
Ions to be hauled out Of the city to
serve other purposes. however bene-
icial or worthy.
The city has assisted in every way
possible to increase the amount of
water for public use by loaning its
tractor for power purposes. by de-
veloping an independent system for
sprinkling streets. and in many other
ways, and it is with feeling of per-
sonal disappointment and chagrin
that l now find that the city's efforts
were largely in vain and that we have
assisted but little in furthering the
end we had in view
want to take this opportunity of
further urging upon the people of the
city obedience to the ordinance being
published. II such action ON the part
of the people does not relieve the
situation. although the council and
myself are hopeful that 1t will. other
steps will be taken until the situation
is relieved.

olating provisions of the ordinance.

called upon the offenders and warned
them. All pleaded ignorance of the
new rules. The chief will continue
warning today until after The Silver
State is issued. At that time it will
be felt that everyone has been given
fair notice of the law.
Means Water For All
Mayor Brandon explains the seem
ingly drastic action by saying that II
people will observe the law there will
be water for all AS 1t is the people
who live on high ground get no water
at all, even for household purposes.
because the people closer to the
pump house use all of the water be-
fore It can be pumped to the higher
main levels. II people permit the
reservoirs to become filled during the
day and night. the water can be
turned into the mains from the reser-
voirs each evening during the irri-
cation hours and all will have all the
water needed. for irrigation during
those hours. at any rate. The house
holders on high ground can also prob
ably store enough water for home
purposes during the evening hours. to
take care of the principal inconven-
fence of not being able to flush
toilets.
Attempt to Open Springs
Additional water may be developed
by men who outfitted this morning
for a trip into Water Canyon. 1t is
said there are several springs In the
canyon at present stopped by the
accumulation of dirt and leaves. 1t
will be the endeavor to locate these
and again direct the water so that 1t
will eventually flow into the reser-
voirs.
The water situation is gradually I'M
proving. and the engine at the pump
ing plant at the river is beginning to
run smoothly. pumping over 500 gal
Ions Of water per minute. Operators
at the pumping plant report that lit
tie trouble Is now being caused by
sand getting into the pump.
It Is anticipated that with the OBJ
servance Of the new water ordinance
sufficient force will be gained to sup
ply residences throughout the town.
