LACK OF WATER KEEPS
BIG FACTORIES AWAY
Chief Davis Urges Conservation
of Supply and Plana Many
Improvements
Cnrleton H. Davis, chief of the Water
Burenii, 1ms pointed out a reason for Im
mediate conservation of the water supply
whllo means aro being found to Increaso
that supply beyond a stage of having to
worry about It. Ho says Industrial plants
nro staying away from Philadelphia, be
cause they fear Hint In times of stress the
water supply would not l adequate.
In the various hot periods In this city In
tho last two motitln there lifts been almost
a- water famine. Chief Davis said, espe
cially In that part of Philadelphia south of
Vino street nnd between the rivers. Many
householders had no water abovo tho nrst
door.
Chief DavIs argues tho matter on a
purely business bnsls. His shows how big
manufacturing plants are being kept away
because the city doesn't take steps to rnako
them confident that a water supply will ba
unimpaired,
Ills first suggestion Is that water meters
would tuako water users economical. Ha
bcllovcn that a gront deal of tho present
troublo Is due to waste, nnd says water mo
tors would stop that becnuso peoplo will
not waste what they must pay for.
Chief Davis wants money enough to pay
for Improvements that wilt placo tha courco
of supply far ahead of the present ono and
removo any need for concern. Ho wants
JC, 000,000 to do work ho thinks must be
dono very soon. This Is for additional niter
beds and pumping machinery, He and tho
Mayor have been applying themselves to
this problem, How to get It out of the
next loan Is it puzzlo that also presents
Itself. Chief Davis Is leaving that part of
It to tho Mayor nnd tho Finance Committed
of Councils. It cannot bo dono berora Feb
ruary. Tho meters ought to bo Installed
now, ho thinks.

This is a blend of soft

cannon, will be replaced by well-lighted, well-ventilated, convenient and
sanitary buildings of the present day. In this tremendous rebuilding,
Certainteed
Roofing
will play a leading role; for CERTAIN
TEED is the twentieth century answer
to the demand for roofing that is econom
ical to buy, easy to lay and inexpensive
to maintain.
CERTAIN-TEED! Roofing is made in
rolls: also in slate-surfaced shingles. There
is a type of CERTAIN-TEED for every
kind, of bujlding, with flat or pitched
roofs,1 from the largest sky-scraper down
to the smallest residence or out-building.
It makes a clean, sanitary, attractive roo,
with a very low cost per year of life. It is
guaranteed for 5, 10 or 15 years, according
to ply (1, 2 or 3) , Experience proves that
it outlasts the period of guarantee.
If you are interested in roofs, investigate
CERTAIN -TEED before you decide
upon the type to buy. CERTAIN-TEED
is for sale by dealers all over the world.
