11,500 ln\o ths city's coffers, so It has
been ruled by, City Attorney James L.
Mayson, who holds that the ordinance
has been violated In the past and Its

A similar case to this ona came up

Thirsty Atlanta will have to drink

ere Wednesday afternoon, la to en
large the capacity of the filters and

Ths report touched upon many points

which prides Itself on Its pure water
and the abundance thereof. It set
forth with numerical proof that, with
the present equipment and the enorm
oua amount of water being used,
would be Impossible to maintain
iroper Are pressure throughout an 4_
tended conflagration. Further it show
ed that watar waa being forced through
the Altera at a rate double their ca
pacity and that during the month of
July all pravlous records were broken
by the amount of slum It was neces
sary to use In the coagulating basins.
Using Much Mors Alum.
The average amount of alum used is
1-6 of a grain to a sallon of watar.
During July 1.4 grains was used to
gallon. During the month mentioned
another record was broken when the
gauges showed 300,643,000 gallons of
water hsd been consumed In Atlanta.
During July, 1806, there were 316,760,
100 gallons used. This 16,000,000 gal

been even greater had the weather
been normally hot. *
Manager Woodward used ss sn ex

Manager Woodward telephoned to the

The report ends by explaining that It
will soon be Impoeslble to keep up

reservoir Into the clear water basin.
