During Month of June as Compared With Same Month Last Year-- Citizens Who Use Lawn Hose Dur- ing Prohibited Hours Will be Prosecuted. That the Civic Utilities Commission has accomplished something worth while in its campaign fo detect the leakages of water all over the city, was shown at the regular meeting of the commission held on Monday ailer- noon, when C. C, Folger, the manager of the civic plant, reported that dur- ing the. month of June there was pumped eleven and a half million 'gal: lons less than in June of 1913. And Mis 1s some figure willen it i condidered that this year the city - is furnishing the Grand Irunk railway with 150,000 gailons per day, which was not being pumped a vear ago. In addition to this, the engmeer at the pumping station states that this sum mer he is pumping less water at night than he has in the past eleven years. It will be remembered that at a ye cent meeting, R. H. Taye, realizing the vast amount of water which was allowed te-go-to-waste throughout the city, as the result of leaks at taps and closets, asked that an inspector be put on the job, whose duty it would bé to make an inspection and have all 'the leakages checked. The in spector was put to work, and this saving has been brought about as a result he was certainly a good one, showing that the commis sion 18 doing good work At Monday's meeting Mr. Tove drew the attention of the commission to the large amount of water wasged by eiti- zens keeping the hose in use for wa tering lawns and gardens, during pro- hibited hours. He pointed ~ out that there were quite a number of citizens violating the city by-law, regulating the hours for use of the hose, and asked that this also be checked, and it was decided to get out with a big stick aiter the olienders Manager lolger stated that aware that the by-law lated, and he was instructéd to take action against the offenders. The com mission very anxious that every citizen should adhere to the by-aw, and this should be a gentle reminder to all who have been using the hose Just when they felt so inclined. A change was" made by the commis sion nt the hours set apart tor the use of the hose for lawns and gardens Ine present by-law specifies the time from 6 to ¥ am. and from 4 to 8 pm. lhe eveming hours were chang- ed to 5 to 9. 'The members felt that citizens would be benelited by the change, and the by-law will be amend ed 0 as to comply with the change A communication was veceived from the Board of Education. asking that the water main on Montreal street be extended so as to supply the ' De pot school. Providing the board will guarantee $25 per vear for the service the manager will be instruct- ed to go on with the work. A deputation from the Kingston Humane Society, consisting of J. RB. Walkem, K.C., J. R. C. Nobbs and Lieut.-Col. James Massie waited on the commission and asked that some action be taken to have runaing water in all the city fountains be use of horses and dogs. At sent the self-closing taps are in so that the commission could up all the waste. The members heartily in sympathy with the mane Society and their work steps will be taken with a yiew of providing the water needed? for the animals. J.B. Walkem said that under pre- sent conditions "horses had to suj- fer as drivers were careless and would not take the trouble to turn on the water. Many a driver passed on simply because the fountain was drv, and this was cruelty to animals Mr. Birkett said that such should be prosecuted by the society Lieut -Col. Massie said that it was a very serious matter, and added that the fountains should be so ar ranged as to be self-purifying. 1i not it would be the means of spreading contagidus disease around the city Mr. Dobbs said that a watch kept on, one fountain, and that of thirty-seven drivers who came to the fountain only nine took trouble to turn on the water he said,/was but a 'sample of the way the fountain was conducted. Mr. Toye said he believed that 1 sign should be placed in the foun tains asking the drivers to turn the water. He was under the pression that many the drivers were of the opifiion that the water was tutned off. Me. Walkem said that the commis: sion would do well to check the waste of water resulting from citi- zens using the hose for lawn par poses during prohibited Lours - Through Mayor Shaw a was received for permission for iting yachts taking part in a regatta hepe shortly to tie up at the water- works wharf.
