Altoona’'s Water Famine,
The water famine is more keenly
felt in Altoona today than heretofore.
The extensive foundries of the Penn-
sylvania railroad are shut down in
consequence of the lack of water. The
Edison Electric company also
compelled to close and other depart
ments of the railroad shops will also
be compelled to shut down. The se-
vere weather freezing up all the
streams is the reason of the scarcity of
water.
