use of water, as a result of the exist
ing drouth, Rockyille's water supply
is being taxed to the limit, and the
pumping station is being run night
and day to keep sufficient water in the
distributing tower to meet the needs
of the town. Ordinarily Rockville
consumes about $4,000 gallons a day.
but for some time past the amount
used has averaged around $1,000 gall
Ions each twenty-four hours. The
big increase is, it is stated, due to the

the use of any more water than is alb
solutely necessary until the drouth is
broken.
