SAFEGUARDS ARE URGED
FOR CITY WATER SUPPLY
Municipal Research Bureau Renews
Perkiomen Reservoir Plea

Perkiomen Reservoir Plea
The need of an imponnding reservoir
in the Pcrkiomcn Valley, as first step
in safeguarding part of this city's water
supply. was sharply emphasized by the
recent pro,racted drought. the Bureau
of Municipal Research asserted today.
Engineer; two years ago recommended
construction of reservoir there. and
had such reservoir been available
during the last weeks" the bureau
stated. water could have been released
into the Schuylkill. serving not only to
maintain an adequate level in the Fair.
mount and Flat Rock pools. but also to
dilute the pollution IN these pools. and
to flush out the sewage emptying into
the river below the Fairmount dam.
"That we have come through the re =
cent drought without shortage of wa =
ter should not lull us into a sense of
security. but rather should stimulate
us to vigorous efforts in removing the
dangers to our water supply emphasized
by the drought"
An equitable adjustment of rights to
the use of til" Flat Rock pool, us be-
tween the Schuylkill Navigation Com
pany and the city. also should be
reached. the bureau declared. This is
necessary. it was stated, so that the
use of water for power purposes would
not draw down the level of the pool be :
low the reach of the pumps at Shaw
mont station.

by him as Satisfactory and harmoni- !

Speculation in political circles re.
garding the platform Of Andy Gump,
candidate for Congress, has reached u
peculiar stage.
The most astute political strategists
admit that they have been stuniped by
Gump. While in his towering presence
they admit that they feel somewhat
"vcrawed. They contend that Andy has
some latent power bound to bring big
harvest of public approval.
They cannot put their fingers on this
mysterious asset which Is drawing thou :
sands toward the Gump banner. Some
say it's the candidates philosophy.
Others declare it is something stronger
than that-but just what they cannot
explain.
a few of the anti -Gumpinns have
gone 50 far as to assert that Andy
was playing both ends against the mid
die in his ''one hundred per cent for
the people" battle-cry. but the pro-
GuinpianS say these charges are merely
the empty vaporings of those who sense
defeat.
