Anniversary
Congregation Was Organ-ized
In 1771 By Rev.
F. A.C. Muhlenberg
While there appeared to be lit-tle
prospect for the end of drought
conditions, pressure on the iocal
water system was expected to be
relieved considerably today when
the Loudon Packing Company
will end its canning operations
for the season.
•While closing of the canning
plant fo rthe season, which comes
several weeks later this year than
ordinarily, will materially reduce
the amount of water being con-sumed
locally, the restrictions
placed on the use of water Monday
will be continued at least in part
until the threat of a shortage is
definitely ended.
Borough officials today were
loud in their praise of the man-ned
in which local consumers
have conserved water. While
Monday is ordinarily a day in
which much water is consumed,
the average pumped for the day
was 960,000 gallons as compared
with considerably over a million
gallons pumped on the previous
Monday.
State health officials who visited
kibitz Monday congratulated local
officials on the local system, de-claring
that it was tar superior to
plants in most towns of .the same
size throughout ithe state. While
the shortage here is being felt it
nothing as compared with con-ditions
in many communities, they
declared.
State officials also took samples
oif water in Binkley's quarry, east
of the borough. This water will
be tested and it is expected that if
the drought grows worse, that wa-ter
will be used from the quarry
to supplement the borough supply.
This will not be done unless abso-lutely
necessary, it was explained.
Borough officials also paid some
attention to drilling additional
Wells in the future but expressed
the opinion that this could not be
done in time to alleviate the cur-rent
shortage.
At 4 A. M. this morning both
were being given a rest. Well No.
1 was pumping on an average of
906 gallons per iminute Wednesday
while well No. 2 also was given a
good account of itself. Well No. 8
was not being used in the hope
that It would re-flll.
Borough officials have been
meeting daily to go over the wa-ter
situation with operators of lo-cal
industries, which have volun-tarily
reduced working hours at
various times during the past two
