Cause of Shortage
Lincoln like McCook was afflicted
with a water famine during the mid
summer drouth and meters were re
quired The leakage was soon discovered
as the following from the Lincoln Journal
reports Water Commissioner Tyler
said that the bills for the quarter com
prising the months of July August and
September explained why the depart
ment was hard pressed during the drouth
season Some customers who have
never paid more than 5 water rent for a
quarter will pay more than 20 dollars
for those three months During the
continued dry spell more water was used
than ever before in a like period in the
history of the city Mr Tyler says it is
little wonder that the department was
unable to maintain pressure during all
this time The supposed leaksin the
service have all been found by the meter
inspectors It is in such time as this
quarter that the man who uses water on
schedule rates without a meter gets the
department

est being the first meeting of the club
