ENGLAND’S DRY SUMMER
ECONOMY IN WATER SUPPLIES. (British Official Wireless.) Rugby, July 17.' The Ministry of Health has sent a request to local authorities to economise water supplies, accompanied by a warning that “statistics now available for a long succession of years indicate that, the rainfall during the next few years may continue to fall short of the average.” Over practically the whole of England there has been this year an abnormally low rainfall, unequalled since 1921. The Ministry’s warning coincides with a spell of very warm weather, the shade temperature at Kevv yesterday reaching 89 degrees Fah., which is 18 degrees above the average day maximum for mid-July, and has only once been exceeded since 1870.
