Short on Water Again
Few persons realize the serious threat presented by the
current shortage of the city water supply. The greater part of
the city water users are now “on the old Army system’’ which
is from the tank above the city dock.
The recent heavy rainfall washed out a section of the
old reservoir near the spillway and thousands of gallons of
water were lost. The newly co structed reservoir is not ready
for use and cannot be used at this time, a city official said
Wednesday.
Residents have been warned to conserve water by the
city street and water superintendent and city clerk. Residents
should give strict attention to fires and see that chimneys,
flues and stoves are clean. A large lire would be difficult tc
eombat with the present inadequate supply of water.
New Machina
Installed At D&A
A new accounting' machine
with a “mechanical brain”
has been installed at Donnelley
and Acheson. It is a Bur
roughs Sensimatic Model 300
and is the first of its kind to
be used in Alaska, Bob Ache
son said.
The machine, made and
shipped from Plymouth. Mich
igan, at a cost of $4,000. is of
revolutionary design and gives
a complete itemization of each
customer’s monthly charge
and payments, Acheson said.
The Sensimatic “mechanical
brain” guides the machine
swiftly and automatically
through a wide variety of ac
counting jobs.
Nick Anderson of Anchor
age was in town this week.
