KAUKAUNA NEWS
At noon yesterday the city of Kaukauna was without fire protection and City
Engineer William HYLAND so informed the city officials and he was ordered to
shut off the supply pipe of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway company, which is
using 30,000 gallons daily. The condition at the present time is unprecedented
in the history of the city. Notwithstanding the dire need of utmost economy in
every household, one man was found who has always boasted of a nice green lawn,
who let his faucet stay open every night to sprinkle his lawn.
Engineer HYLAND reported only two feet of water in the stand pipe where it is
expected to be never less than fifty and should be seventy-five. There was not
water enough in the reservoir at the pumping station to start the pumps.
The city is having a new well drilled but it will be 30 to 60 days before it
will be completed, meantime we pray for no fires.

A miscellaneous shower was held last evening at the home of Mrs. Joseph McCARTY
