on until the water in the rivers shows
signs of increasing, or until the Ral
eigh water supply is sufficiently in
creased to provide the company a sup
ply of water for its auxiliary steam
station at Method, three miles west of
the city. The acute shortage of city
water has mads it impossible for the
company to run the auxiliary steam
station for any length of time this year.

Walnut Creek
nl Conference on Town and County Ad
ministration, to be held here September
19. 20 and 21.
"Undoubtedly this conference v.-ill bo
ery helpful." writes Mr. Baker. "The
schedule of subjects to e discussed
overs a wide range and is particularly
wise, as it seems to me, in identifying
the commercial and social aspocts of
municipal administration with the fi
nancin.1 considerations, all of them be-
in? tied together in the mind of any
really constructive Municipal Execu
tive." ...
Mr. Hoover's letter, after expressing
his regret at not being rble to attend
and his best wishes for the a ess of
the conference, continues:
"The greatest puVie service today is
devot'on to the unbuilding of on: com
munity institutions, ji.r to vn govern
ments, our town and tr.untry improve
ments, our schools-, and all th:tt multi
tude cf volunteer institutions in promo
tion of education, recreation and com
merce. The war er-'nted a t;r:it kt
of pepole who wish to leon on Federal
nd state governments. Our ceimtry
was built by pushers, noi lea.iers. Prog
ress of the nation is simply the sum
total of local progress. We will go
backwards the moment we cIm roy the
iniative of our peopl.; by constant ex
tension of federal authority."
Letters from all parts of tlv? country
show a growing interest in tin; Chapel
Hill conference. One th persons
in attendance will be H. W. Dodds. sec
retary of the National Municipal
League. He will bring with liim re
ports of all the efforts now being male
in the United States to simplify county
government. Buc municipal, not ioun
ty. government is to be the main sub
ject of discussion at the coming con
ference. Emphasis upon county prob
lems will come next year, when the
which supplies the city of Raleigh, have
lowered the capacity of the water
plants of the compnay to such a point
where it is impossible to supply all
large users with power all of the week
and still have a sufficient amount left
to take care of the public utilities serv-J
ed by these companies.
Vice President Tilley declares that it
has been impossible for his company
to make further developments which
would have prevented such a shortage
as this now, because of the inability
of the companies to secure money for
investment on the earning showing
made by the hydro-electric companies.
SCHOOLS TO OPEN
s
The Raleigh water situation has im
proved so much during the past tlr.ee
days that the city officials have with
drawn their request to the heads of
schools and colleges that they postpone
opening for at least a week. Stat;? Col
lege, Meredith, and the city schools
will open next week, just seven t'ays
later than was first planned. SI. Mary's
and Peace Institute had not scheduled
opening until next week, so The water
shortage did not interfere with their
plans. ...
The rains of the past three days have
increased the supply of water in the
reservoir to a point w'v-re it is row
only fi fey-eight inches below the top of
tha dam. instead of ninety several days
ago. .High pressure will bo put on ;-gain
on Friday and Saturday, but the may
or announces that if there is evidence
of failure of the public to co.iserv.? :t
will be necessary to discontinue high
pressure service. .

tion and intended enjoying myself
when I was stricken with a severe
case of stomach trouble and colic at

me lose consciousness. After tr-at
