EWEB'S LITTLE DRIP
DRAWS BIG RESPONSE
A lot more water than most people imagine leaks from a
dripping faucet in a short time, engineers at the Eugene Water
& Electric Board found out from their experience at the Lane
County Fair.
They discovered that a dripping faucet like the kind many
people have in their homes will' waste 308.2 gallons of water
in four days. '
The count was taken by members of the board's water de
partment staff as part of a display at the fair. It called for
guesses on the number of gallons lost under ordinary condi
tions. There were a tolal of 4,264 guesses in the contest. That
included those of Gov. Paul Patterson and Mayor V. Edwin
Johnson.
The guesses ranged from 1.1 to 10,000,000 gallons of water
lost in the four days.
Winner was Ken Hickenbotlom, of 945 Hilyard St., Eugene.
He guessed an exact 308 gallons. The EWEB's first prize of $10
was to be sent Tuesday.
Second prize went to Jim Bowers, 2410 Potter St. on his
guess of 307',i gallons. Third prize was won by Carl Cuddeback,
200 Sunset Dr., who guessed 309 gallons lost.
Norman Johnson, director of the water department, figured
that 30.6 per cent of the entries guessed less than 100 gallons
lost, 22 per cent were from 100 to 200 gallons, 9.4 per cent
were from 200 to 300 gallons. That meant 63 per cent of the
guesses were under the correct figure.
Fifty-three of the entries were within 10 gallons, more or
less, of the correct amount lost during the four days.
Public Invited

Juvenile Home.
Louis Sherman, Lane County

Sherman said that the correc

within a week or two. The pro

fire resistant material around
two heating units at the home.
Windows in the boys' dorm and
