Astonishing revelations of lack of water In the various packing houses of South Omaha and the I'nlon stock yards under the regime of the Omaha Water company j and later the Omaha Water boar! were made In federal court by John E. O Hearn, superintendent of the Armour plsnt for thirteen years prior to 191J. anJ now with the same company In Chicago. lie was a witness the suit of the Omaha Water board against the city of touth Omaha, tho lnlon Stock Tarda company and the packing planta to prevent' the defendant corporations from continuing tc use the streets of South Omaha for the mains of their water plant, which they built after they were unable to get sufficient water from the Omaha water works. "We often had to shut down the plant entirely for lack of water," said Mr. O'Hearn. "At such times we sometimes had much live stock on hand, anJ this had to b0 fed. Sometimes the water gave out entirely when washing of the carcasses was going on and they '.sd to be put In the cooling rooms without washing. fee Vp Fire Water. "We even used up the water In our fire reservoir. We used to draw all the water out of this during the day for operating purposes and then fill It up at night. Of course we were supposed to keep thla reservoir full all the time, and If the inspectors of the Insurance companies had discovered the practice I don't know what we'd have done for water. "I remember one occasion when alt our water waa gone and there was no pres sure at all from the city mains. We connected our house pumps to the city mains and pumped, but there was no water at all In the malna." Lewis Branstad. master mechan'c for Swift's, gave testimony to the same ef fect Charles W. Martin, an Insurance man, told of the protracted negotiations be tween ; the packing companies and the underwriters regarding the water famine and the final Installation of an inter locking water system in the yarda ao that all the pumps of the several packing plans could be used to supply pressure In case of a fire In any one of the plants.
