Arkansas Freight Rates Cut 20 Per Cent The City Water Board will meet Wednesday afternoon to consider a water situation that constantly has grown more grave since the break ing of the 18,000,000-gallon pump at the river station two weeks ago. The reserve supply in the reser voirs at the Hemphill station has dropped two feet since that date. It will take at le;ust two weeks to put the big pump in working order again. While, the reservoirs have over 20 feet of water in them there is only a foot margin from muddy water. This Is due to the fact that the lo cation of the filtration plant will not permit water to flow through it lower than that point. A conference was held Wednesday morning between J. O. Cochran, president of the Park Board r W. Z. Smith, general manager of water works, and W. E. Dunn, president of the Water Board, to consider cut ting ofT the 500.000-gallon daily flow into Piedmont Park lake. That would mean that the bathing would have to be stopped. It was decided that no further action would be taken at present than to shorten the hours for bathing in the lake. Although twenty men are working on the broken pump, as many as can be effectively used In both day and night shifts, it is feared that the water pressure may have t<> b<* re duced so as to make the daily con sumption of the city equal the amount pumped from the river each day.
