SPRING RAIN FILLS
 THE RESERVOIRS No Need of Pumping Water From Shepaug to Mor=
 ris Basin
 HEAVY PRECIPITATION

The Morris reservoir is practically full! After about four weeks of pumping the giant pumps were shut off and the reservoir, which showed 8 reading of almost 27 feet under the maximum quantity of water is now filled to about two feet of the top. Officials stated to-day that the brooks and streams will fill the basin within the next two or three days so that there was no need of doing any pumping. the spring rains doing the work at greatly reduced cost.
 A conference between Mayor Frank Hayes and City Engineer Cairns prompted the decision to start the pumps which brought between two and two and half million gallons of water daily into the Morris basin.
 The pumps have been shut off for two or three days. The rainfall the past two days added greatly to the quantity of water already stored.
