9 INCHES OF RAIN
NEEDED IN GOTHAM
Shortage Threatens Curtail.
ed Use of Water Affect
ing 5000, 900.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March Shine inches
of rain are needed in the Catskill coun-
try to bring New York City's water sup
ply up to normal.
Unless it comes firemen won't be
turning on fire hydrants to cool off the
youngsters of the lower East Side this
Summer. Pavements and sidewalks
will have to go unwaShed and 1t may
be necessary to turn off the water all
over the city for while every day.
In all, about 100000 persons will be
affected-the population of Greater
New York and Westminster County.
An energetic campaign by Commits
sioner John j. Bietz of the Department
of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity,
and William w. Brush, the department S
chief engineer, has cut down the con-
sumption of water in New York City In
the last six weeks about 50,000000 gal
Ions day. That is not enough, they
both said yesterday.
Supply Under 20 Billion Gallons.
Right now the Catskill system, from
which all five boroughs get most of their
water and which includes the Ashokan
and Schoharie reservoirs, with Gilboa
Dam. contains less than 10000, 100000
gallons of water. The normal supply
for this time of the year is 10000
600 900 gallons The Croton system
contains 66,000,000,000 gallons, when 1t
should contain 90,O00.OOO,0O0.
In 1890 New York City used an aver
age of 100000 gallons a day. On
! hot Summer GAYS it ran up to
! 200, 10000 In 1927, When the sys-
| tenn was last enlarged. the average con-
sumption was 545,000.000 a day.
The history of New York'S water
supply may be written in three chapters.
First the water came from local wells
! and reservoirs through wooden pipes.
| In 1912 the Croton system was de-
| velcped and completed with cast iron
pipes. The Catskill system was begun
in 1884 and completed in 1917.
Many New Uses Found.
Since then there has been no in
| crease save for the present develop
ment of some wells en- Long Island
which will furnish 150,000,000 gallons
! day to the suburbs.
"It isn't so much the growth of the
| city's population that makes this a
serious matter" Mr.. Dietz said, "as 1t
| is the countless new ways OF using
water that have grown up. Shower
| baths, hot water running into the
| kitchen sink, air cooling systems IN
| theaters and hotels and these new gas
| refrigerators that operate with con-
| tinually dripping water"
Those nine inches may fan within
| the next two months in the Catskill
system-part of which is $50 miles
! from Forty-second street. March and
| April. Mr.. Burns said. are the most
| promising months.

Judge Hamrlann Declares Some Laws Granting Right
 of Way at Intersections Are Obsolete

1 that the right front fender of the Davis car had hit his left front fender and running board. Officer Fraher, who investigated the accident and made the arrest, stated that, in his estimation the center of impact on the Zampini ma
 chine was the left front fender and hub cap.
 Attorney Harry Ossen. represent ing the accused, made the motion for the discharge of his client stating
 that there was no question but that Zampini had the right of way in the case, that he could not have been at fault, and it was a mistake to arrest him.
 Wifc-Beater Before Judge Judge George E. Hammann be- lieves that all wife-beaters should be sent to jail. stephen Nastuse- ! was sentenced to 30 days in the
 county jail for assaulting his wife. MastusewicZ, it was said, went home after work Thursday and,
 when he found that the supper was
 not ready, he grabbed a broomstick
 and hit his wife on the head. A
 bump the size of an egg was raised by the blow. according to the. police.
 After imposing the sentence. Judge
 Hammann was informed that the accused is the sole support of his wife and four children. so, after warning him that a repetition of the offense would result in his being
 sent to jail. he suspended execution and placed Nastusewicz on probation for year.

In the case of Thomas Zampini, 19, who appeared in court yester- day morning after having been ar rested, Thursday after an accident near the intersection of Riverside avenue and Church street, Judge George E. Hammann reserved decis- ion in the case, stating that some automobile laws granting right of way at intersections of streets were obsolete under modern traffic condi- tions.
 Zampini was charged with violat- ing the rules of the road in that he attempted to pass another car on the right, but testimony presented tended to indicate hat he quesion to be decided was more of right of way than of violating the rules of the road.
 Zampini was driving car down Highland avenue to go east on Church street when he collided with another machine operated by Leon- ard Davis of Nigeon avenue, which had turned from Riverside avenue to go east on Church street.
 Davis claimed that he had made the turn and was entirely on Church when the left front fender of the Zampini car hit his rear fender. Zampini maintained that he had the right of way at that point. as Davis was coming from his left. and stated
