COUNTY WATER
CR|S|SPASSES

Promise that the water crisis
in nearby Maryland would ease
within the next few days was
given today by Carl A. Hechmer,
engineer in charge of mainte-
nance and operation of the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission.
Use of Washington water has
already brought the situation
under control, he said, and with
the return of cooler weather
shortly, the strain on the system
will entirely pass. NO restrictions
on the use of water Hechmer
said, are contemplated by the
Sanitary Commission.
Despite the fact that Wash
ington and the Sanitary District
yesterday used more water than
ever in their history, conditions
in Maryland were better than
they had been the day before.
Opening of the Georgia Avenue
connection lightened the enor-
nous load on the Chevy Chase con-
nection and pressure throughout
the system was raised two pounds.
Hechmer said that Montgomery
county yesterday used 100000
gallons of District water and
100000 from the Burnt Mills
plant. Prince Georges drew a.
100000 from the District and
100000 from Burnt Mills.

GOVERNMENT BOND
LIST IN RECOVERY
Long, Term Issues Rally Cor.
porate Group in Steadier
Trend.
BY r. II. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. May 26.-United States
Government long-term bonds rallied to-
day and closed narrowly higher after
having dropped sharply to new lows on
the movement in early trading.
The turn in Governments came in the
last hour and reflected a recovery in
stocks and advices from washington
that Congress hoped to be able to reach
a compromise on the sales tax pro-
posals. The general corporation list
steadied somewhat with Governments
in the late trading but was still down
sharply on the day and at its lowest
level in manv years.
Treasury IS and 3lss and Treasury
4l4s made the best gains in the Gov
errment w.. Municipal issues also
pushed ahead
i, Was i.>A of bids that kept corpora
tion descriptions down. Dealers re-
ported offerings Of many more bonds
than they could meet with bids.
The market openso with a barely
steady tone The absence of any an
nouncement regarding the expected
formation OF q bond pool by the recently
appointed Bankers and IndustrialiStS'
Committee caused the withdrawal of
many bids. At the start traders were
testing the market with offerings Of
single bonds These were fairly well
absorbed, but when as many as five
bonds we're offered in an active issue
prices broke badly. Volume increased
on the decline.
Nothing seemed exempt from the
trend. High-grade prior lien descrip
tions were thrown into the market
with as little discrimination as that
exercised In the case of bonds already
selling at prices ordinarily associated
with receivership and default Ameri-
can Telephone SIS, for instance broke
more than q point as did American
Telephone Collateral SIS. American
Sugar Refining IS lost a point. So did
New York Gas, Electric Light, Heat &
Power SIS.
Sharp declines occurred in such sea-
soned securities as West Shore Guar
anteed 4s, United Electric g. Power SIS,
New England Telephone Aus. Midvale
Steel S. Duquesne Light AVS, Consoli-
dated Gas 41as, Atchison General As.
Baldwin Locomotive SIS and many
others.
New York City Traction were weak,
partly because of the general downturn
and partly. 1t was reported, because of
the liquidation of the holdings Of an
individual known to have been heavily
interested in local traction securities.
Brooklyn Manhattan Transit IS broke
4 points Hudson d. Manhattan Income
SIS lost Az. Losses of to 3 points af-
fected the obligations of Interborough
Rapid Transit, Third Avenue Railway
and Manhattan Railway.
Trading was less active in speculative
bonds which have already deprecated
from 10 to s5 per cent Of their value.
But price movements here were sharp
on the turnover of only a few bonds.
Junior railroad issues like Southern
Pacific 4l2s, Northern Pacific s., Nickel
Plate IS, New York Central IS, Mis-
souri-Pacific IS, Great Northern First
4i4s Erie General Lien As, Baltimore &
Ohio 4i2s and Chesapeake Corporation
5s lost 2 to points Industrials also
were weak. notably Wheeling Steel 5l2s,
Pure Oil 5i2s and Goodrich e12s
