To the Careless Water User.

You are jeoparding the entire city by your careless use of water. We are unable to keep the tank full of water on account of leaks in fixtures and letting water run, to keep the pipes from freezing. You have a stop and water valve in your house, or should have according to ordinance, so please pee that it is used. We have pumped all the water the wells would supply for the last 24 hours and are unable to fill the tank. If a fire should break out we would soon be out of water. We have an instrument by which we can detect the careless users of this water and will be compelled to prosecute such people for the of the city, CITY OF RENSSELAER, By C. S. Chamberlin, Supt
