Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Weekly Star, August 2, 1919, p. 1. PRECIOUS WATER. We are now in the midst of a season when a large amount of water is consumed, and it is estimated that one-half of the consumption is wasted by excessive sprinkling and other illegal purposes. Some people not only drench their own gardens, but those of their neighbors as well. This kind of vandalism is often carried on until late hours at night by drenching the streets and walks to cool them off. Last Tuesday was the hottest day of the summer, and some people were seen pouring water on the streets at the noon hour while the blazing sun rapidly consumed it. There can be criminals among water users when more water is used than is paid for. This is also a menace to fire protection. Without heavy rains, our water supply will run short, and then somebody will want to move the university. Constance T.
