NAVAL STATION
WATER SUPPLY
RUNNING Low
FORCED TO SEND TO MIAMI
TO RENEW IT'S SUPPLIES.
LACK OF RAIN CAUSE OF
ACUTE SHORTAGE

Faced with an acute shortage
of fresh water. the navy station
has been forced to send to Miami
to renew its supplies, Capt. Rus
sell S. Crenshaw, station COM
mandant, revealed today.
Two tankers brought water
here during the past week, and
the navy will find it necessary
to send for more unless there is
a heavy rain within a short
time. The station also faces the
prospect of strict rationing, Cap
tain Crenshaw said.
With only 1877 inches Of rain
recorded in the past month, the
stations cisterns are nearly dry,
while the need for water has
continued to be abnormally
great.
Although much Key West cons
.truction has been done with con-
crete mixed with salt water,
Captain Crenshaw said navy re-
quirements demand fresh water
for cement. The several thou
sand civilian employees working
at the station also provide a
heavy drain on the water sup
plies.
