Chamber's Sensation The GIRL PAGE ; LEAKY FAUCETS Ilceause of the unexpected coming enormous consumption of water in Medford to irrigate the increased acreage in gardens and lots incidental to the war food preparedness cam paign, the people of Medford nro warned to have ull leaky faucets in and outside their homes repaired nt once, under penalty of having the water shut off from their homes. Olin Arnspiger, city water superin tendent, is planning to conserve the city s water supply- nnd make it go as far ns posible in hot weather, and nnonunccs thnt probably the most rigid irrigating restrictions ever known in Hie city will bo enforced during t lie hot season. Water con sumption for the gardens and lots will bo given the right, of way nnd if there is not enough water during the heated spell to take care of botli them and the city's lawns, then water consumption for the lawns will be greatly curtailed. Unusual efforts will be made to pre vent nny wnter wastage this sum mer, us even in ordinary vears there has been u shortage of water durin; the heated spell. Hut the tax on the water system this summer will be far greater because of the irrigation nec es.surv for the increased number of preparedness gardens and lots. '"The wilier system was only de signed for n. per capita consumption of 200 gallons per dny," sand Kupt. Arnspiger, on Monday,. "In past years ut times it has jumped during the summer to COO gallons per capita. In ordinary weather the consumption is only about one-tenih of the water passing through the pipes, but m very hot weather ut times not only was all the water passing through the pities used, but in addition the res ervoir was drawn upon and lowered seven feet a day. "The water system was never dc signed ns an irrigating system," so you sec we've got to be very careful this summer, stop every lenk and en force rules to prevent waste to the letler. "Inside the city limits nre 1,717 acres of land and it is estimated Hint between 5(10 and COO acres of it is in gardens and lots.' IMHI). MORRIS Mrs. Sarah E.
