J. McClelland At McKelvey's Limited water pipes were put into These were then filled and the carts went out to that sec tion of the city which was cut out of water supply while the break is being repaired The water famine not only caused excessive inconvenience in the pri- vate dwelling places where there was no reserve but also in a number of the places of business The men who went into some of the barber shops for their early worming shave were much disappo.nt- ed to learn that owing to the nmived supply of water they would have to let their beards grow until the break in the pipe was mended or the water partially turned on. Consequently if | the water is turned on in a few days the men who cannot shave themselves will have to grow beards Ice cream pariors which serve many a quenching drink to the thirs- ty man on his way to work in these times of prohibition were unable to give a glass of water although they had a supply of soda water on hand. The persons most disgruntled by the shortage of water were the house- wives. When they got up to pre- pare their husbands' breakfast they found there was little or no water | in which to poach his egg, and the customary cup of tea had to be dis-| pensed with. Between 7.30 a.m, and 8.30 am, it wag learned from the telephone office, the operators were | deluged with calls from all parts of the city. It was estimated that in| there were about three hundred calls sent in for the Civic Utilities or the Waterworks offices. | At first they were answered, but af-| terward the operators were informed of the reason for the multiplicity of | calls and they responded to all in-| quiries with characteristic politeness. | It was strenuous time though, and about three times as much work was | | done in that hour as was customary. | The housewives managed to get| through the breakfast all right but| the next problem was how to wash | the dishes, Some had Johnny run! to the lake for a pailful.of water | but in many cases the dishes remain unwashed. All over the city the unusual oc-| currence was the subject of much] discussion. "Well, did you wash/| your face this morning?" wae a fav-| orfte question among the men and many a good natured joke was pass- ed. Another was, "Do you belong to the great army of unwashed." 2 The famine, however, was "not without its very serious side. It was most fortunate that during the morn- ing there were no calls for fires sent in. The city brigade would have been in a somewhat unusual predica- ment with the little pressure at the hydrants, Realizing the dangers that might accrue from the shortage of water, Chief Armstrong made ar- rangements to have the pumping fa- cilities kept in a position where they could be brought into instant use, Although no estimate of the time that would be necessary to repair the damage could be secured from the authorities on Thursday morning the people of the city can be assured that everything within possible is being done to have the break mended as | be the fault of the civic officials if the water famine must last for some time, A number of amusing incidents in connecting with the breaking of the water main are being told around town. Perhaps ome of the most pe- culiar was that of an uptown lady, who when she turned on the tap to get some water to mix with some | _ her neighbors to borrow some water | od to find that the "aqua pura" had medicine she had been in the habit of taking every morning, was surpris- ceased to run. She went to some of but found they were in the same pre- dicament and she was forced to go without the tomie.
