Owing to continued scarcity of
water the city authorities have re
quested water users to be conserv
ative in its use. The city pump
ing station is now working to
the capacity of the storage facili
ties. but owing to the small reser
voir the pump must operate 15
hours each day and having no
excess storage there is no chance
of a gain in reserve supply. The
city needs a new reservoir of large
capacity. It must have it to take
care of present needs and it is
childs* play to talk of a new hotel
with nearly all the rooms fitted
with private bath and toilet facili
ties when we have less water than
(he present ne$ds call for. T o top
this the city has no use whatever
for a laundry or ice plant if the
wlter can not be had, immediate
ly as the plant requires it. The
city council has met the require
ments up to this time in an excel
lent manner, but the city must go
farther yet and provide for an ad
equate storage system.
