The reserve supply in the reser voirs at the Hemphill station has dropped two feet since that date. It will take at least 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 6-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; W. Z. Smith, general manager of water works, and W E. Dunn, president of the Water Board, to consider cut ting off the 500.000-gallon dally flow into Piedmont Park lake. That would mean that the bathing would have to he 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 to he re duced so as to make the daily con sumption of the city equal the amount pumped from the river each day.
