BiSt11Qrck'S Water
Consumption, Rises
Orouth and Heat Combine to
Keep Pumps at City Plant
Going at High Speed
new HIGH MARK FORECAST
Figures for Fiscal Year Expect.
Cd to Break Former Records;
Supply Il Good

High temperatures, combined with
drouth since the beginning OF the
growing season. have almost doubled
Bismarck's water consumption over
the same period last year, according
to the records Of M. H. Atkinson,
manager of the city water depart
ment.
Since May I, users have consumed
. total Of 25.9l6,o00 gallons Of water.
The figure for the same period in
1888 was l3,076,0o0.
Consumption reached q new high
during the last week, william Yegen,
waterworks engineer. reporting that
the giant pumps at the plant have
been operating on an average of Is
hours daily to supply the demand.
The pumps are operated only about
eight hours a day during the winter
season.
An all-time record for city water
consumption Is expected to be set at
the end Of the fiscal year, June 80.
The records for 1933-34 up to Satur-
day show that 200 $50, 900 gallons
have been pumped. For the 1928
fiscal year up to May 1s. the total
was almost 100000 gallons less, or
Isl .072 900.
The city water plant is equipped
with two gallon-a- minute pumps
and one 1000 gallon q minute pump.
These are used alternately, Yegen
said, to supply from 800. 900 to loo, :
600 gallons Of water day.
River Water ID Clearer
I'VE have been especially fortunate
this spring." Yegen said. "in that the
turbidity, or the amount Of sediment
In the river water, has been low, re-
curing smaller amount Of chemi-
Gals for publication purposes"
He said the river at the present
time, despite the drouth. is at nor
NAL level and Is unable to account
for the fact that the dry weather had
not reduced the level.
Increased consumption, Atkinson
said, does not greatly reduce the cost
Of operating the water department.
The expense of chemicals and power
remain the same, although some re-
duction In costs Is realized through
the fact that the overhead is spread
more widely.
A reduction of rates was made last
July, amounting to from 8 to Is per
cent, depending upon the class into
which users fall.
Present rates include lawn and
garden rate which is based upon the
amount Of water used over and above
the users December to April average.
The lawn and garden fee is is cents
per 100 cubic feet for all over the
winter average.

OTHER STATES TO Benefit
Congressman Talk Of Special
Appropriation to Assist in

OTHER STATES TO BENEFIT

Washington, May 19.-F1-Because
Of extreme drouth conditions in north
central states the farm administra-
ton said Saturday It would hasten
the payment Of second wheat benefit
payments which it expected to total
about $27,o0o,ooO.
Approximately $7,5o0,ooo viii 60 to
the principal spring wheat states,
which also are those hardest hit by
drouth. It will be distributed q fol-
lows:
Montana, 81, geo, 900; North Dakota,
$500, 900; South Dakota. 81 ,4O0, 600,
and Minnesota. 100000.
George e. Farrell, chief Of the
wheat section. said the local inspec-
ton Of farms to determine compliance
with contract provisions would be
fastened, particularly in the drouth
area, in order that second payments
may be made quickly.
Fearful that funds available for
immediate relief to drouth afflicted
areas are inadequate. members Of
congress from the distressed states
planned Saturday to ask for quick
appropriation to carry on rehabuita-
ton work this summer.
Walster Tells Of Need
No figure was agreed upon but DR..
H. L. Walster, extension director Of the
North Dakota Agricultural college, es-
timated q minimum Of $500, 000. 900
would be needed.
Senator Nye Rep., N. d.. who
called the meeting, said an attempt
probably would be made to amend the
presidents public works bill with a
separate drouth-relief appropriation.
Members present included the spe-
cial house drouth committee named
this week. Representative Sinclair
(Rep., N. d., Is chairman. North
Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin.
Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, Montana.
Illinois, and Nebraska were repre-
sented.
Senator Nye said q request probably
would be made for more civilian con-
servation corps camps in the Dakotas
to construct temporary earth dams to
conserve rainfall expected In June and
July.
The group also discussed the pos
sibility Of enacting bankruptcy legis-
lation for farmers, who, additionally.
have never in the past sought this
kind OF relief from their debts. Wal
ster said farmers throughout the
drouth territory had reluctantly re-
signed themselves to bankruptcy as .
final recourse.
"You hear them talking about It
everywhere they gather" he said.
Forks Wins Music Prize
Meanwhile it was announced the
government plans to pour 100000
month into the parched farm states
until the drouth menace IS removed.
Seven federal agencies united in the
relief drive, official observers be-
lieved expenditures would run into the
winter as new relief problems are
reached.
Reports reached the federal re-
lief administration that South Dakota
farmers have turned over to the state
$4,000 farm animals on which they
had obtained state loans. They have
