Water Engineer Clemitt, of Baltimore, Md., gave out a statement, in which he said that the water situation in the city had materially improved.

The people had also complied with his request to be sparing with the use of water. “There is no chance of a water famine now.” said Mr. Clemitt. “Nevertheless, I must request the people of Baltimore to continue to be care-ful in their use of water.”

According to this statement there were 172,000,000 gallons less on storage July 2 of this year than on the same day of last year, when the total amount on storage was 1.709,000.000 gallons. This shortage is explained by the fact that in July, 1913, the rainfall was 10.24 inches, while for the month this year it was only 3.91 inches.
