Olly f Nor-walk Has Duly
Thi iy Days’ Supply on Hand
~ ,uaIlly of Water In Grupe
lie ,crvoir Is Said to be Bad

An investigation of the City of Nor-
walk richervoir system reveals the fact
but lluo city has a supply of only thir-
ty days at its command at the pres l
moment. Unless a hard rain occ a
very soon the commissioners will
probably be called upon within a short
time to issue warnings to the public
to by careful in its use of the city
wilted

Whille the supply during the past
few years has on a number of occa-
sions' been down lower still when its
present condition is reached, it be-
comerl a matter of concern. It is
ther ‘iore fail-to assume that the dis-
, able odor and taste to the water
will continue indefinitely or until a
storm puts In an appearance. Within
a few] years the city' s supply has been
dew to the seven days‘ limit. The
wet r department confidently expects
that the reservoirs will be replenished
before they get so low as at the time
abode referred to.

The Grupe reservoir is now very
low and um bottom of the pond. fer-

 

mcpiing '2 the rays of the scorch-
ing. sun. to uses the objectionable
qualities ‘1 the water. This reservoir

has a ca,.'city of 82.000.000 gallons,
but yesterday contained only ,about
20.000.000. in consequence there is
much here mud. After the hard rain
of a week ago the Grupe reservoir
gained considerably but for five or six“)
days past has been steadily losing.

To keep up with this growing defic-
iency. the water of the Scott reservoir,
several miles above. is being let down.
The supply at the upper reservoir is
being jealously guarded in anticipation
of drought, but notwithstanding, the
city water department deemed It nec-
essary last week to let 16,000,000 gal-
lons 0on down to the Grupe reservoir
The drawing off of at least 6.000.000 is
contemplated for this week. The Scott
reservoir has a capacity of 66,000,000
but now it is only about three-quar-
ters fell. Many people have been crit-
icisin.:. the water commissioners for
not ailing upon the supply at the
Scott reservoir. which is in Lewis-
boro. N. Y., but. without reason. not
knowing that ihlsssupply is being
used.

Tili' water consumption has increas-
ed a'out a quarter of a million gal-
lons per day during the past IiVe years.
At the present time In extreme cold
or estrenie hot weather, the city con~
HUDIIIS over 2.000.000 gallons per day
The consumption per day this week is
about 1,600,000 gallons. Consumers
illt‘ using the water as sparingly as
pomible because of its undesirable
condition.

lhe records of the big reservoirs of
ill country for the past 76 years show
that every seven or eight years of ore
rliiiary weather are followed by two
or three dry summers. We are now
line for the dry summers.

The city of Norwalk possesses 160

1 acres of most desirable reservoir land

bi'tween the Grupe and Scott. reser-
voirs. By spending about $100,000 in
the construction of a dam the city
will have a new reservoir with a
«opacity of some 800,000,000 gallons.
It is figured that at the present rate
of increase on the consumption of
water, the city will be called upon to
build the new roservair in a very few
years.

. ALBANY. N. Y.. August 8.—-'l‘hree
hundred persons employed in the large
department store of the John G. Mey-
ers' store at Neath-41 North Pearl
street, had just gone» to work this
morning when the whole center of
the building collapsed from root to
cellar: Nearly a‘hundred men. girls
and children were carried down in the
wreck. The first estimate the number
of killed and injured at forty.

Thus far all those taken out of the
rules have been alive. There Is no
doubt, however. that when the resou:
ere reach the bottom of the heap of
debris they will find a number of dead.
The disaster, which is the worst of its
kind in the city's history, occurred
shortly before 9 o‘clock. The Myers
estate has been making extensive re-
pairs on its building. This morning a.
gang of italian workmen started to re.
move an iron pillar that supported the
mail» floor Evidently they had fail-
ed to brace the fioor, for scarcely had
they loosened the post when down
came all three upper floors within a
radius of fifty feet of the fatal
pillar. The wreck crashed through to
the cellar, burying the workmen and
carrying down those who happened to
be working in that portion of the bull-

ins

The’ fire department was called out
and the work of rescue began at once.
Considering the nature of the acci-
dent, the number of persons who es-
caped with slight injuries is remarks-
ble, The debris in which the firemen
and their assistants are digging is
light, consisting of mostly wood and
plaster. Little or no heavy brick or
stone work fell and this fact gives
hope that the number of fatalities may
not be large. The building that col-
lapsed today was comparatively new,
having been erected less than twenty,
years ago by the labeiJohni G. Myers
Since Mr. Myers‘ death, two years ago,
the business has been carried on by a
company consisting of George P, Hilv
ton, H. King Sturdee, and Edward I“.
Hecketi. it was one of the city’s two
largest department stores.

Up to 10:30 there had been taken
from the ruins. seventy-five persons.
half of whom were seriously Injured.
The manager of the store at that time
said that 60 more were underneath
the ruins.

Up to if o'clock one dead body had
been removed.

Most of those injured were young
women. The collapse came. at 8:46
o’clock, without whrning. The walls
and roof in the center of the structure
fell into the building, forming a mass
of debris, burying the victims, Tele-
phone communication was sent to the
various hospitals and doctors through-
out lhe city and within half an hour
24 doctors and four ambulances were
on the scene. The stores nearby
were turned Into emergency hospitals
and mattresses were brought from de-
partment stores.

it was a pitieble sight. as young girls
and little boys were dug from the ru-
ins aud carried through the street to
some neighboring store. The work of
digging out the victims was conducted
by the members of the fire and police
departments and city laborers. Water
rushed into the ruins from twisted
pipes and it was necessary to cut off
the supply in the vicinity.

The scenes about the building
ware as pitlabie as those within.
Several hundred relativeii of employee
were there and their distress was
heartrending.

it was reported that Robert M. Chal-
mers, one of the members of the firm.
was missing.‘ A clerk with whom he
was talking when the crash came and
who escaped. said:

"He was at my side and then there

was the crash and I saw him no more. "

It will take several hours to dig cut
all of the victims

Up to 12: 30 three persons had died
in the hospitals. thirty injured had
been sent to their homes or the hou-
pitals, and it was estimated that fifty
still remained in the ruins. It Is be-
lieved that all those now In the hospl
tais will live.

Deputy Sheriff Sculley Thinks
It Was Uncalled For From
Man of Mr. Moore’s Standing

Deputy Sheriff John W. Sculley was
interviewed this morning by a Sentinel
reporter in regard to the insinuatlous
'agalnst him made by Rev. Lewis K.
Moore on Sunday evening at the Nor.
walk Methodist Church, in the sermon
of the reverend gentleman regarding
his unwarranted attacks on. the1news-
writers and officials of the law, which
have brought upon Mr. Moore even
the censure of members of the official
board of his own church.

Sheriff Sculley expressed himself as
being deeply grieved and surprised on
reading the papers of last evening that
he had been attacked so coarsely and
fiercely by a man of Mr. Moore's stand»
ing in the community.

He stated further that the/[hot that
he joined his family Inst. . 1n
Towners N. Y.. where they have been
visiting for some time made Mr.
Moore's tirade entirely uncalled for.

In regard to the finding of his doors

was a habit he had when going away
for a few days.

Prosecuting Attorney Tammany was
also asked if he cared to make any
statement, but said he did not think
he would so.

The reporters have been made the
butt of many jokes since the sermon.

No'rweik City Council Votes to
Advance $5,000 to tire Water
Commissioners to have the
Work Done—Election oi tili-
rary Directors.

 

The Norwalk City Council voted last
evening to advance money to the ex-
tent of 86, 600 to the water’ (legal;
sioners, to defray the cost of
a new item inch iron water main in
last avenue. The new pipe will ro-‘
place the present antiquated sis-inch
main, which caused no end of trouble
by breaking many-times lately. .

This main is an Important one, as
it is through this that Norwalk sup- 1
plies all of its water patrons In1East. 1'
Norwaik. The new one will be larger
than the old to meet the increased
demand for water.

A petition, asking for the new main
and signed by many residents along
East arenas, was presented to the
water commissioners and the latter
turned this over to the Council last
evening. The petitioners asked for a
new pipe on the ground. first, that a
larger main was required to keep up
the desired pressure and, secondly.
that the present one is old having
been In use thirty-four yours and re-
cently there had been many breaks in
It.

Wallace Dunn, one of the water
commissioners, stated that the board
believed the main should be laid but
that the commissioners have not the
necessary money on hand to do the
work; consequently they had sought
the aid of the Council. Mr. Dana '
said the East avenue main had been
down thirty-two years. and it had been
a source of trouble because of breaks
a number of times since It was struck
by lightning two or tilt years all).
