During the past weep or so the weather has been extremely warm, as everybody knows; and Clinton has been thankful for and has been mak- ing good use of its splendid water- works aterworks system. During the week be- ginning July ninth the following quantities of water were pumped daily at the power house : 'Sunday 29,196 gallons, Monday 37,824, Tues- day 91,563, Wednesday 03,0211, Thurs- day 71,325, Friday 77,700, Saturday 87,315,Total 524,880, Average 87,480. As the total capacity of the two well pump in twenty-four hours is 100,000 gallons it will be seen that Clinton is living about up to her limit of water supply. The commission may soon have to sink another well and 13n- gineer. Chipman advises that it be a twelve -inch well so as to give a larger capacity. In the meantime they advise the citizens not to waste the water: MORE WATER USERS. The office of John Ransford Son, the stores of E, Johnston and W. S. R. Holmes and the residences of Mrs. Searle and Mrs. Watkins have lust recently been connected with the waterworks system. AN ALARM OF FIRE.
