IU III MAYOR J fRITESIITER; I ' , A, G. Fell Says No Similar I I - Condition Has Been Per-M Per-M mitted in Fifty Years l .' Hon. Frank Francis, Mayor, Ogden I Gl'ty. I C, Ogden. Utah. M; Dear Mr. Mayor: "Lrcad your letter of Juno 7th (Ogden Standard-Examiner) in which you pay your respects to the "Water Hog." In the opinion of the writer the "Water Uog" is not responsible to an alarming alarm-ing decree for the shortage of water. I was at the city reservoir at te.n o'clock this morning and found botli reservoirs full almost to overflowing-; a. few minutes later I was at Artesian Park and found eight artesian Wells j closed down. r-Now, Mr. Mayor, did you ever hear ' oT such a condition existing in our ! city before? Just think of it, the res- orvoirs full to overflowing, eight artesian ar-tesian wells closed down and at the same time practically all of our cltl-Vij cltl-Vij 'ens were suffering for water. What may we expect in July and August? .,Do you think it fair and just to pun-T pun-T ish all of our citizens because a few I ', '-water hogs" violate the sprinkling I laws? j ' The writer has been a citizen of Og-i Og-i den for fifty years and can say that no similar condition has been permitted permit-ted to exist since tho waterworks sys- loin was taken over by the city. Respectfully, A. G. FELL, June ninth. oo
