same.
And the mercury kept going up
each hour and in the first and sec-

In the outlying districts the reports
to the Evening Sentinel showed a
degree hotter.
More Humidity.
There was more humidity in the

enough.. The high mark reported
by Miss Liv-rs Com-took. weather
observer. of Ponus avenue for yes—

Two deaths were reported and
many prostrations in New York city

the heat.
The weather bureau in New Haven
forecasted the end of the heat wave
today. He declared the thermom-

but that the humidity would de-

WILLIMANTIC.‘ Conn.. ~7. -—
Threatened shortage of city water
here. due to the drought of five
weeks' duration with only light rain-
fall, will be taken care of by the
purchase of water from additional
sources of supply in Westfield and
Chaplain. which was authorized last
night in a resolution passed by City
Council.
Pumps at the large supply reser.
volr in Mansfield. which forces the
water into the city supply reservoir
at Hosmer mountain. have been
working for 20 hours a day for the
past five weeks. The streams which
supply the storage reservoir are
drying up. however. and on Friday
the city took over the supply from
the Buck Pond in Westfield. which
has been ‘held as a reserve.
Owners of the Hall Pond in Chap-
lin have oflered to give the supply
of‘ water to the city if any damages
resulting therefrom are guaranteed
and similar arrangements are to be
made with owners of the second pond
in Westbold providing the drougth
continues long enough to exhau;
the supply from the Hall Pond.
