mains V V Hines Mines Has Another Idea Frank L Li Hines superintendent I of waterworks yesterday rda suggested to the city council waterworks committee that It might be a good idea Ideo to ask the may mayor ma or 01 and the council to prohibit lawn sprinkling entirely for a while and und to remit water for fOl the tile months of ot September and V October Oc ober 01 or 0 as long Ions as us the restriction continued Mr Rinse idea is that so long as citizens pay wa water water ter tel taxes they will feel teel they have a aright aright alight right light to use more or less water for sprinkling purposes The rhe committee took the Ule suggestion under advisement and may mav offer it to the Ul council The Tho Thirteenth nth Eat Ea t reservoir had only a few tow Inches of water in it to meet the sprinkling period p 1 last ost night and ond tile the few Inches were soon cleaned out The rho portage came camo and anti re remained remained for Cor an hour or two to although it I Iwas
