City Utility Picture Bright, Report Says Water Supply At Peak--Light Plant Expanding Things are looking up for Bloomington's Water and Light departments, the annual report of Utilities Director M. Burgin proves. al. The report puts on paper the progress made by the two departments in the year which ended April 30. It shows that the water supply has remained at a record level, thanks to a Lake Bloomington spillway raising job completed in September, and that a leak survey program is succeeding in cutting down water waste.

EXPANDING It also shows that the city light plant set another record for output. And with an expansion job nearing completion, the future of the electrical system appears rosy. Water consumption during the year remained at about the same level of the previous billion gallons. The unaccounted for, or lost water also remained at about the same level-36 per cent. However, Mr.

Burgin noted that a leak survey program which was begun during the year uncovered 25 leaks and an underregistration accounting for three quarters of a million gallons of water a day. The three quarters million gallons represents about 15 per cent of the city's total pumpage. UP 2 PER CENT Light plant generation totaled 11.45 million kilowatt hours, up 2.11 per cent. Customers totaled 32 more than in the previous year. Additional customers are to be taken on when the plant extension is completed.

Revenues of the Water, Electric and Sewer Departments totaled $1,116,435, according to the report.

The incident occurred Wednesday in front of the Bloomington Post Office. A teenage girl in a regular size American car was trying to get out of a parking space. Behind her was the foreign car, a man in the driver's seat. The girl backed up her car, denting the foreign car slightly at the top of the hood. Then the bumpers locked.

The girl looked only ahead. She now saw room enough to get out of the parking, space. Tramping on pedal, she turned loose a couple of hundred horsepower on East Street. But she didn't turn loose the foreign car. The locked bumpers kept the small auto firmly attached to the big job.

The girl breezed down East Street. The stunned driver of the small car frantically beeped his horn. While onlookers watched in amused amazement, the girl passed Market Street. At the bus station, one spectator managed to control his laughter long enough to signal the girl over to the curb. The girl was shown her hostage.

Said she: "Oh, I thought someone was trying to pass SPRINGFIELD, ILL. -P- A Chicago legislator served notice on the Illinois House Thursday he will filibuster against Senate bills until the upper chamber takes action on fair employment practices legislation. Rep. Corneal Davis, a Democrat, said the FEPC proposal ran into a "road block" in the Senate Wednesday and didn't receive proper consideration. Davis informed Speaker Paul Powell as the House convened Thursday that he will ask that all Senate bills called for consideration be read in full- -the usual filibustering technique in the Legislature.

Davis said he didn't want to hold up House bills and asked Powell not to call Senate measures. The House then went ahead with action on House bills. SENATE RECESSED The Senate is in recess until Tuesday. Backers of FEPC legislation, traditionally favored in the House and rejected by the Senate, voiced concern that history will repeat itself this session. Their pessimism out of action by the Industrial grew.

Affairs Committee, voted Senate, Wednesday to send two nearly identical FEPC bills back to the floor without recommendation. One is a Democratic-sponsored bill, the other a proposal supported by Governor Stratton. Sen. Fred Smith (D-Chicago), who has handled FEPC bills in several sessions, said the committee action "indicates as of now the failure of the bill." PIGEONHOLED Sending a bill back to the floor without recommendation places it on the presiding officer's desk, from which it can be taken only by a majority of members voting on the question.
