Show WATER SHORTAGE IS DUE TO LEAKING Kditor Standard: Every year a hue and cry goes forth from the it a-ter a-ter works against waste of water A warning to water "hogs," especially especial-ly and so forth Every year one can see from the street hydrants water pouring day and night until millions of gallons must be wasted week after week through negligence of the city whose place It is to keep a watch over those things. A washer here and there would prevent niurh waste of water and then not so much advertising and warnings to the people would be necessary nec-essary I am tjulte sure the city "dads' must pass these hydrants" running run-ning full tilt every day one or more, at leasi. We passed one last night and tried to stop it, but for the neeu of a washer it could not be turned oft The fire hydrant on Twenty-fourth Btreet, oji Twenty-eighth street on Twenty-sixth street, and indeed on all of them. I believe, you can find the water pouring forth to waste, while the much needed fountains In parts of the city are dry. I have before me the warning sent out to the people of tho city to beware be-ware of the waste of water. Tn the words of Burns, "O, could the power and gift be given us to see ourselves as others see us. ' Respe tfull . (Signed) Lizzie B Piggott, rear 348 Twenty-eighth street , |
