Show WATCH WATER, CITIZEN URGES ! Compliance With City's Sprinkling Rules Is Suggested A a fitting time to nlvc thought to the proper observance of lawn "Sprinkling hours as set by the city, li K Garner has written to The Standard-Examiner suggesting more) attention to the -prinkling i egala- : Hons by the .iu:ens. Mr. earner's j nrticle was suggested by "Low and Order" week, which began Sunday He says: I I LETTS BE PAIR. In a number- ol" :h t hutches of -our city and si:i(e last Sunday, the (heme discussed and suggested for pur 8peiil consideration foi this Bveek was "Law and the Proper He-ajrard He-ajrard for and observance of the "Same. " ! in keeping with tills thoufiht it ,seem very appropriate .it this lime to mention the law governing sprinkling sprin-kling hours' as outlined by our city '-authorities and urge a little closer observance of them and thereby show our regard for in- Imw. and at the .name time demonstrate our willlng-to willlng-to cooperate with tbo 1 1 officials offi-cials to give everybody "a square .rdcal." The vast majority of the people arc, keeping within their hours and are iio be commended for their loyalty. ! -But there are some who through! 'thoughtlessness or misunderstanding, of the proper hours to water In their districts persist in turning the water -nm an hour or more ahead of time 'while others let It run an hour or two ftcr time and don t stop to think that in some districts people are beting be-ting deprived of water to drink to Bay nothing about watering then lawns. And then there are others who - p Jiose around to the rear of the house, i remove the nozzle and lei the water run to waste in a good many oases' 7 most of the night. They Intend to water the garden good while the m-T.spector m-T.spector is off the Job. But they aie not playing fair with themselves nor .their neighbors and cannot be clas-;e.l as good law abiding citizens. Then there are those who persist rin violating the sprinkling hours, not because they need the water particularly particu-larly but seemingly to show just what sort of souls they are It seems too! bad that this small class of law vio-' vio-' lators should cause such inconveni- j ence and create a feeling of discontent discon-tent among those trying to do the right thing. If each district would 'observe the sprinkling hours strictly the water pressure would be increas- j fad and all would fare better. Think j "it over and "play fair ' with the other .fellow and help the situation till the larger mains are installed when our water troubles will be ended, let us 1 hope. It's not pleasant for the inspector; to tell you you are violating the law and its very unpleasant to be com-i j pelled to turn the water off So ob-' I serve the regulations and thereby save t trouble and place yourself in the ' square deal class.
