rEDFOTJT) MATL TRIBUTE. fEDFOTID. OREGON. FRIDAY. JULY 23. 1937. PAGE THREE SUPPLY OF WATER TRADE NEARS END 1) IN CENTRAL POINT Attention wu called last week ' to the aerlouaneaa of the altuation tn regard to city water la Central Point at the present time. This -week I have done a bit of private Investi gating and find the condition to be aa follows:. Pint: The water In the city well 1 lower at the present time . than It ever has been and the supply seems to be falling gradually. Second : - In order to provide any sort of fire protection It Is necessary to partly close the gates at the city well during the heat of the day In order to allow the well to till up so the big tank can be kept full. Third : For the past several years the old mains throughout the city have given a great deal of trouble en account of leakage. Mr. Cum tntngs, city water superintendent, estimates he bas at present about 92000 worth of paten clamps scat tered over the entire city. Fourth: There is no way of telling Just bow much water Is seeping away on account of leaky mains, but It Ja thought that the amount ts large enough, to make a very appreciable difference tn the amount of water required to keep the tank full, thus causing a heavy drain on tbe well. Fifth: It Is an established fact that the population of Central Point has grown heavily In the past year. Every house In town Is occupied at this time. Thus there Is a much heavier demand for water for house hold and sanitary purposes than for several years. Sixth: The campaign put on for a more beautiful ctty has caused more flowers, shrubs and lawns to be planted than ever before. While the larger users of water have wells of their own and thus do not use so much city water, yet the Increase In population has added thousands of gallons dally to the use of city water. - - ; . Bearing the above facte In mind, tt appears that if we hope to have our city grow any more In popula tion: If we horj to attract more and larger bur'aese concerns to lo cate, here; ' we want to see-more of our vacant lots sold to . people who will build homes thereon, we must get busy and decide Just what we are going to do about water. Shalt we give up any idea of a bigger and better city? Shall we say to those who come almost dally seeking homes here that we welcome their coming but they must take their chances of having to face a water shortage each summer? Or shall we get busy and look Into the cost of a more adequate water supply? And having done so. bravely shoulder the burden, hoping that future years will prove the wisdom of our action. Think it over, folks. Don't blame the "water man"' If your water falls. He is doing all that Is humanly pos sible to keep us going and to pro vide what fire protection he can. And don't waste what little water we bave. By A. E. P. . in Central Point American. $3.50 DIVIDEND FOR - CHRYSLER HOLDERS NEW YORK, July 33.
