THE PAPER THAT EVERYBODY READS two cents I IS VIM it BUN COMMISSIONERS DECID DEPARTMENT TAKES STEPS TO RELIEVE WATER FAMINE TO APPROPRIA TE $500 nun nrnnnrn ii iiH 10 Jedlictmeete Returned Against Legislators by Grand Jury in Final Report- Crawford of Carroll and Evans of Stark Fall into LAD il DROWNING Plan to Draw Upon Supply in New; Well and Put Emergency Electric Pump into Commission-in Meantime Citizens are Hoping for Rain No material change occurred yesterday in the water works situation. Conditions were worse, if anything, than on the days preceding. The word "pressure" as applied to the water works system was a misnomer. Very few attempts at sprinkling were made in any quarter of the city.

It was learned from sources emanating direct from the department that at midnight there was a pressure of only thirty pounds. This illustrates the seriousness of the situation, as the pressure in the middle of the night is greater than at any other period of the twenty-four hours. The danger mark is considered to be passed when the pressure is below sixty or sixty-five pounds. Ordinarily it should be in the neighborhood of ninety or a hundred pounds. The fact was gener-ally accepted yesterday that if a fire should start in the right quarter the fire department would have no possible show to cope with it.

Factories on the hill found it almost impossible yesterday to supply their boilers with water and this condition will probably be aggravated today. Unless rel lief is afforded shortly it is more than likely that several factories will be compelled to close down. Will Decorate Court Square Centennial Week Finance Committee Will Recommend that City Council Appropriate Like Sum Towards Putting City in Gala Attire--Joint Meeting Held at Court 1 House Tuesday Evening. The sum of $500 will be appropriated by the county commissioners towards aiding in the decoration for centennial week, according to a decision arrived at, at a meeting with the finance cimmittee of the city council, held Tuesday evening. The committee agreed to recommend to council that it appropriate a like sum as the city's share in paying for the decorations.

Both the city and county officials will enter into separate contracts with the decorating firm although it was decided that each shall join with the centennial commission in a general plan in carrying out the decorations.
