STANDS GOOD FOR VIOLATION OF
ORDINANCE BY MEN. ......
Crew Turns on Water to Supply Ce
ment Crew With Necessary Water
Violation of section XIV of tha wa
ter ordinance last Saturday afternoon
lead to the arrest and conviction and
fining of the foreman of Contractor C.
T. Darley's concrete crew. This sec
tion of the ordinance prevents anyone
turning on a shut off without permis
sion fy the' department. It sped
ifles that under no condition Pre in
dividuals allowed to turn on water
or turn it off at t he city shutoff but a
crew of men working for Mr, Darley
construing a sceptic tank on the
Freeman Ladd place on North Ash,
turned wat.ii' i.i'"tC' rr.. nnnda for
the work at hand. Tlie act was dis
covered and Mr. Darluy was made to
answer in the sum of a $10 fine Impos
ed by Recorder Humphreys. , Mr Dar
ley admitted he should have instruct
ed his men not to do this very thing
and assured the .court that hereafter
bis crews will not violate tha ordl
nance. "Too many people about the
city either through Ignorance or dis
regard for the ordinance turn on and
turn off the water at will, and the
practice must stop," said Water Sup
erintendent L. M. Hoyt in speak tig
of the matter today. "The water de
partment Is sole controller of these
shutoffs and the public at large should
keefy this In mind and avoid trouble."
