NJ RESTRICTIONS ON
 SHRINKING LAWNS

Restrictions on the time for sprin- king lawns will be temporarily re- moved today. according to Howard Claflin, superintendent of the city water department. Beginning today, lawns may be sprinkled at any time except when the fire whistle gives a warning of fire, when the water must be turned off until the whistle sig nals that the fire is out.
 The new ordrr will probably be made permanent if each water user shows due regard for the amount used. According to Superintendent Claflin the city water works is now in a position to fill all reasonable de- mands, but cannot care for wastage.
 If the people of the city will CO., operate with the water department in the months following as they have during the summer, when it was nec- essary to restrict the amount of wa ter used by each consumer, there will not be any necessity for reverting to the every other day rule for lawn sprinkling," Superintendent Claflin said yesterday.
