Lack of rainfall and the use
of water for l«wne is rmpoaaibU.
Officials of Bryan and the Col

refrain from watering lawns until
the shortage Is over and the re
serve supply has bean replenished.
Drastic stops may have to bs taken
unless there is co-operstion among
all concerned, according to M. r.
Walkor, Bryan CHy Manager.
Mr. Walker states that a new
well was tied into tho system at
4:80 p.m. Tuesday after reeen
been dMpsd dry. Even so,
there has been difficulty in filling
the reservoir because of the tre
mendous amount of water now be
ing used.
Additional fire hasards result

College View residents are urged
by Moon to hlep in the ceaaerva-
tkm program. He said that the
lack of water pressure at the Col

due to the tjpo of
