Show BBS Watcrmaster Holt calls attention to BBBS a slate of things that should not exist. BBBl He says that there are many people B who use an unlimited quantity of B water for lawn and garden purposes, BBBm far mure than they need; that they B take the nozlcs from the hose and BBBJ leave the water to run all nlK'ht long. BBBJ The result Is that there Is not suill- B j? ulent water to provide more than a B thirty pound pressure when ninety BBBJ should be the least. In case of lire B a thirty pound pressure would prove BBBJ very Inadequate. Mr. Holt says that BBBJ If the people would use the water fl judiciously, rightly, there would be BBBJ suillcicnt water for all and still the re- J quired ninety pound pressure. That J the water Is used In a wasteful and j extravagant manner is a fact which none who have been over this city ' frequently will deny, but that anyone 1 knowing the scarcity of water has B used the water thus is not so clear. 1 The general Impression Is that there BBBT has been and still Is suillcicnt water j luriin uscsiuuu uiis iiiiuiuiiiiiuii iruin B i Mr. Holt will probably come as a sur- BBBJ prise to many. Tin: Rki'imimcan Is BBBjj ' inclined to feel that the property BBBj owners using city water will be more H j .careful now that the matter Is set be BBB I fore them in this light. In fact they BBB can not alTord to do otherwise, for it BBB is certainly against their Interest In B case of tire. Let the public take Mr. BBB' Holt's suggestion kindly and instead BBB of using water lavishly, use only that BBB which Is actually needed. Instead of BBB leaving the hydrant open all night, BBB' shut It olT. This will be to your H credit. |
