 Water
 Toner also looked over the upper water dam for the City Tuesday to offer recommendations on what might be done to conserve water in the upper reservoir and its prob able cost
 In reporting to the Council Ton CT said that water was being lost around the control pipe and unless fixed, it was impossible to hold the reservoir at a high level. He suggested a temporary method of repair which he estimated would cost from $15,OOO to $20,OOO us ing laminated construction. A more permanent plan of using sheet pill ing, he said, would run from ESQ., 900 to S40,0O0 and an overall job of making the upper dam sound and connecting it with the lower dam thus assuring an adequate sup puly of water for years to come would cost from $7O,OOO to ESQ., 900.
 i've can only hope nature is kind to us this winter commented Councilman Einar Ottesen, chair man of the finance committee.
 Water Ordinance
 William Berry of the Wrangel Cleaners and Laundry appeared be- fore the Council requesting a larger feeder line into his place for greater supply of water at times when he needs it. He said the pres ent one-inch line is inadequate for his purposes. The Council agreed to install a larger line but was divid- ed on the provisions of the new wa ter Ordinance recently adopted. The ordinance provides for the opera tiOn of laundro-mats and laundries and where water service is extend- ed to two locations charges are made for two locations. Berry held his two operations were under one business license and therefore sub ject to only one service charge. Councilman Ottesen pointed out the provisions of the ordinance. On move of Councilman Ben Engdal that the laundry and laundromat be considered one business for wa ter purposes, the Council divided, Councilmen Ottesen and Thor Skull stad voting no and CounciImen Barney Iversen and Leonard Camp bell, yes. Mayor vern Smith cast the deciding vote in favor of the Engdal motion.

Chess Champ to Draw

The Chess champion of the
world. except Russia. was ma
neuvered to a draw here yester-
day in a specially arranged match
that served as a sidelight to the
18th biennial congress of the
Greek Orthodox Church of
North and South America.
A delegate. Alexander Paleogos,
who is president Of the Airline
Marine Safety Corp. of New
York. had won several important
bouts via mail and figured he
was ready for a title go. The
best he could do was a standoff.
Samuel Reshevsky of Spring
Valley. N. Y, who calls himself
worlds champion. except Rus
sia," came in just for the match.
Tense Struggle
The tense struggle took place
at the Sheraton Park Hotel in
a cloud of deep concentration.
1t was study in contrasts:
Mr.. Reshevsky was giving away
so pounds to his big. dark
opponent.
The tense little champion, as
precise as the chesSmen he ma
aeuvers. opened strong, but ended
up giving way to the strong play
of Mr.. Paleogos' rocks on the
queen side.
Charity turned out the winner.
