The Water Qvestiea.
Engineer Harwood wsui in the
Record office today and made the
statement thqt from io o'clock in
the morning until night it was im*
possible to keep to exceed 65 feet
of water in the standpipe with both
pumps operated under steam pres-
sure exceeding 100 pounds. This
condition has existed for over two
weeks and will continue until it
rains; but since the steam ustrs
began work it has taxed the plant
to its full capacity to keep water in
plenty. This is rather a serions
condition and needs investigation.
For several years past in the cot-
ton season we have known the
plant was overtaxed but this sea-
son there have been many new
consumers added to the maius and
a daily consumption of exceeding
750,000 gallons is not uncommon.
When it is considered the original
capacity of the plant was but
1,000,000 gallons in 24 hours it
will be seen that 750,000 gallons in
18 hours is a severe test of such old
machinery. It is true that every-
body is getting water in quantities
to suit, doubtless, and in case of
file direct pressure could quickly
be obtained, still, will 65 feet of
water satisfy insurance companies
or is it safe tq rely on direct pres-
sure? These ari questions to an-
swer. Let the council look into
the matter at its next meeting.
There ought to be something done
to prevent water waste, a great
deal of which is now going on in
all parts of the city.

A Delightful Dance.
Last night a party of about
twenty young folks enjoyed a de-
lightful dance at the home George
Letch on East Chur:h street. It
was rather warm but they danced,
just the same, enjoying themselves
immensely. Refreshments were
served between the hours of ic/and
12.making it quite*agreeable to die
dancers. About 12:30 good night
was safd, not one being displeased 1
at the evening's entertainment.
The dance was given in honor of
Miss Ella Monk of Yoakum.

Judging from reports the pecan
