ARMY ASSISTANCE
DROUGHT IN LANCASHIRE
N.Z.P.A. Special Correspondent.
Rec. 9 p.m. LONDON, Nov. 11. The city of Manchester, as the result of a continuing drought in Lancashire, is now reduced to 12 days water supply and drastic rationing restrictions are in force.
In order to assist in carrying water to parts of the city where the supply has already failed, the army mustered a convoy of 200 15cwt water trucks, many of them veterans of the war, and placed them at the disposal of the city corporation. In an effort to break the drought, an experiment', in rain-making by dropping dry ice from an aircraft upon suitable cloud formations, will be carried out over Manchester’s chief reservoir at Longdendale this week.
