City Water Will
Be Rationed
During Dry Weather

City officials pointed out this
week that the city water plant
is running full capacity and is
just able to fill the needs of
Hardin citizens at present.
With the advent of hot, dry
weather, it was pointed out,
water will have to be rationed,
with watering of lawns and
gardens permitted only at
certain designated times, which
have not as yet been determ-
ined.
It is essential to keep enough
water in the storage tank for
fire protection.
All city equipment is in ex-
cellent condition, including
both the filter and the mach
inery. Plans are now under
way for charging the plant,
but it will be impossible to
complete this work in time to
increase the water supply this
summer, officials said.

Up and
DOWn
the Street

A couple of months ago, A.
H. Bowman renewed his sub
scription to the Tribune-Her-
aid and at the same time ask
ed why we did not report on
the condition of wheat in this
county, just once in a while.
W. think his point was well
taken, so here it is, MIR. Bow
man, on authority of our new
county agent, N. A. Jacobsen.
The wheat is in good condi-
ton, though perhaps growing
a little more slowly than usual,
due to the cool weather. The
winter wheat is doing especially
well.
We never thought we'd live
to see the day-no indeed!
Johnny Thompson actually got
Jack Helmann in a Piper Cub
plane and flew him to Round
up For the past three years
we've been hearing Jack insist
that he wouldn't go up in one
of those things-no, sir-if he
was going to do any flying it
was going to be in something
with at least four motors-and
that looked a little substantial.
We don't know how Johnny
managed it, but we do expect
to hear Jack eating his words
for weeks to come.
Well, the swimming pool is
going to have an Al fence
anyway--even though the wat
err situation is critical and the
question of life guards and
pool attendants still remains
to be settled. Somehow we
think it will open on June IS,
as per schedule. We hope so,
anyway.
As to the fence, the Lions
club is seeing to that. It was
badly needed, and we think the
Lions should have a vote OF
thanks.
Hardin is burgeoning. What
with the new serve-yourself
laundry, the new grocery store
which, is going to open almost
any day we've been hearing
for the past two weeks) and

on a more citified atmosphere

A dispute over who should have

promise agreed on by the subcom-
mittee.
Under the compromise the Health
Security Administration would be

Final agreement on the two mat
ters would clear up the confusion
which has kept hospitals from sign
ing the 1947 contract with the Chest
Federation for nine months.
Rates May Be Retroactive.
Mr.. Bartlett indicated the in
creased rates may be retroactive to
January l, when the new contract
should have been signed, but this
would depend on how much of the

hospitals is left by January /, 1948.

Higher Hospital Fee,
For Chest Patients
Approved by Group

Washington hospitals may get a
$3.50 per diem increase for services
to adult Community Chest patients,
William H. Bartlett, Chest Fedora
ton budget secretary, said today.
A subcommittee of a tripartite

Montgomery Tenants
Want Local Controls
# Federal Curbs End

Enactment of a county rent con-
troll law to be placed in effect when
Federal control expires was urged
last night by the Montgomery
County Tenants Association at a
meeting in the Silver Spring Ar
mory.
The group also adopted resolu-
ton requesting Gov. Lane of Mary
land to broaden the Rent Advisory
Board for the Prince Georges
Montgomery area by appointing
tenants, veterans and labor repre-
sentatives.
Branding his choice Of members
of the board "as completely unrep-
resentative and decidedly weighted
IN favor of landlords and realty in
terests," the measure urged the Gov
ernor to disqualify members who by
public statements have shown them
selves incapable of carrying out their
duties in an impartial manner.
Extension of the eviction notice
period from 80 to 100 days also will
be sought by the association under
the enabling act passed by the 1947
session of the Maryland Legislature.
Legislator Explains Law.
1t was emphasized by speakers,
however, that under the enabling
statute, the county could not place
its regulations governing rent con-
troll into effect until expiration of
the Federal law.
Action was taken following a talk
by j. Bernard Carrick, a member
of the Maryland House of Delegates
from Baltimore. who explained the
National rent housing law and the
enabling statute passed by the State
Legislature.
Predicting that the Federal rent
control law will be suspended, Mr..
Carrick advised the tenants not to
sign leases calling for a IS per cent
rental increase. "Once you have
signed such lease" he warned,
your unit is taken out of Federal
rent control"
Urges Tenant Protection.
1t would be political suicide, Mr.
Carrick asserted, for either party not
! to favor extension of rent control In
the approaching presidential cam
paign.
In the event Federal control Is
lifted next March when the present
law expires, he suggested the group
draft recommendations for tenant
protection and present its views to
the county commissioners.
