Citizens Score Use in Parks

Waste OF the Districts water supply
by federal departments in the face of
restrictions proposed for private con-
sumers was denounced by the Mid-City
Citizens Association in resolution
adopted last night at a meeting in the
Thomson School.
The resolution called attention to the
alarming drain on the city's water sys-

conduit which cares the supply here
from Great Falls and provided for d petit
ton to the Secretary Of War urging
that he continue asking Congress to
remedy the situation"
That the water supply shortage was
serious problem Is testified to by the
announcement of regulation OF sprin-
king privileges. the resolution pointed
out. Co operation Of the citizens with
the water department in conserving the
supply was urged.
In supporting the measure. which
was introduced by W. J. Thorn. the waste
of water by the federal government was
emphasized by members of the associa-
ton. II was explained that most of this
water was used in the "whirligig lawn

time on federal reservations about the
departments and in the various parks;
in watering clay tennis courts so that
their surface will become baked in the
sun. and in park fountains.
If private consumers. who are taxed
for the water. are to be restricted IN
the use of water. the government also
should be restrained TO A like degree.

| LONDON. June 27.-The question of
disarmament. particularly as to an

joining in such disarmament move,
| was brought up in the house of COM
mons today by Commander Carlyon
Bellairs. unionist member for the
Maidstone division of Kent.
Commander Bellairs asked Mr..
whether his attention had been
drawn to the statement OF the Japa-
neSe minister of marine to the Asso-
ciated Press of America that, should
the powers come to Il reliable under
standing and agree unanimously to
limit their armaments, Japan would
limit her armament to certain ex-

prime minister. said:

moment. to what was said by. me on
June II and by the premier TO the

Questioned by another . member
whether the British ambassador at
Washington had taken any steps to
bring about a disarmament Confer

undesirable to make. statement IN
this respect while the whole question
was under consideration by the i'm

The program referred to by the
admiral was that providing for
Japanese feet of eight battleships
and eight battle cruisers. not more

The admiral said that whenever an
international conference on armament

Millions of dollars have been saved

Icharted approximately 1000 square
miles Of the affected area, at total
cost OF ST. 52f. They few a total of
sixty-eight hours the last week in
March and completed their survey in
that time. :,....--'....
Had a ground. survey been made it
would have. cost the government. it is
claimed. S125.00e. and would have re-
,auired two or three wears. Meanwhile
tfhe fire danger according to the find
ings of the aviators: would have been
an ever increasing one. likely at any
time to destroy millions of dollars
worth of timber. Information obtained
by the aerial survey is calculated to
prevent fires in the wind-blown region.
Capt Smiths report, just made pub
lie by the air service, states that ''the
general damage was caused by a
southwest, wind, having an estimated
speed of $50 miles an hour. over about
1000 square. miles of very valuable
timberland.
"As a rule the trees: were laid fiat
to the ground over a spot from to
100 acres, then the wind would be de-
fected. striking again a mile or two
away Timber on the south side of
all the ridges was 100 per cent de-
stroyed Hundreds of sketches and
photographs were made and later
t,irned over to the United States dis
trict forester in Portland, from which
office will be issued official figures OF
the actual damage"
In, conclusion the report states that

trict covered by the flights have few

ber Of roads or trails, most of them
