A committee was appointed at the

he has the full support of his organ

the outlying districts where it has been
impossible to get water.
On account of the Inability of the
water board to extend water malm

now pending in the supremo court of

new amendment until the decision Is
made.
"Last nlarht we read of two families

in the ruornlns by fire, both of which
could have been saved If there had been
water there." said Mr. Frank today
"For the last 18 months we have been
unable to get fire hydrants In these
