The temperature of the city's

mains at the Dalecarlia filter plant
is about 81 degrees. but it has been
hotter.
Temperature of the water poses
no particular problems, except
those of air conditioning engineers
who depend on water to absorb the
heat of buildings.
In 1943, during sustained ten-
peratures in the 9os and high Of

a maximum of a8 degrees. officials
said today.
Use of water hit an all-time

Art Gallery 10 Show
Hapsburg Treasures

Treasures from the fabulous art
collection accumulated by the Aus
tro-Hungarian Emperors through
the centuries will come to the Ma
tional Gallery OF Art in November.
According to one gallery official,
the display will contain works Of
art the Average gallery-goer docs
not dreaaRexistsSA-
sObjec6of roSE crystal, me-
dieval gold work and other small
art gems seldom seen in this coun-
try will be in the exhibition, along
with paintings by such men as
Rembrandt, Rubens. Velasquez
and Breughel; masterpieces by
Cellini: taperings. sculpture and
perhaps even armor.
Once part of the imperial art
collection of the Hapsburgs, for
centuries one of Europes leading
royal houses, the works were
placed in the Kunsthistorisches
Museum in Vienna in 1890. When
the empire was dissolved after
World War I, the collection be-
came state property.
During the war the treasures
were hidden in North Austrian
salt mines. The museum building,
hit 10 times by bombs. is still un-
fit to house the collection, and
part of it has been sent on a
travelling display through Europe.
1t is now at the Tate Gallery in
London.
The Austrian government has
not yet made final decision as to
what art works or how many will
be sent here, but gallery officials
expect a final list before long.
After display in Washington, the
token collection will be shown in
New York. Chicago and San Fran
cisco.
