B.C*, THURSDAY. JUNE 10th. .1937 No. 10 WATER W'e.̂ l Vancouver has a water supply from its creeks which Oil- mniiity and quantity will compare favorifbly with that of iiiiv municipality in B. C. In the ordinary way no restric- arc imposed fcî ch as hours for sprinklinir, meters, etc.,. <K is the case in sprhe places, it being taken for granted that liu* pul)lic' will use ordinary discretion in the use of it. In this connection, however, it might be pointe\l out tha t undue use of it by some may very well ^fork a hardship on others living at a different altitude, also 'tnat the in'discrimih- ■lie use of local w ater results in the necessity of purchasing water from the Greater Vancouver. W ater Board, at ..extra' . e o stio the taxpayer,, , • _ It is to be hoped, therefore, "that this will be borne in miiul, particularly as regards sprinkling, which should ..only ■ be clone in the evening. It might be explained ..that day sprinkling in the sun only results in boilfng the ground. The Council,ask th a t our residents work with .them in this matter," as, they do not wish to be forced Into -a positi<hi where they'will have to im pose, annoying restrictions' to" conserve a water supply which with ordinary use is more than sufficient.for.all. : . . . - --• - ■ i '...... ........ .......' ..... ........ -- ... .
