Water shut off in St. Louis building
Forty five tenants in a downtown 11 story fashion square building faced a water shutoff after owners were in arrears on bills for some time. Water Commissioner John B Dean said the bill had been due for some time and noted no fire hazard since hydrants and sprinklers are separate. The building housed clothing manufacturers and dealers.

Water shutoff over disputed bills opposes building owner
In a sworn statement Mrs Pollock claims a water service cut was a spiteful move to compel payment of bills for 1930 and 1933 when the building was vacant. She says they have paid all bills since 1933 and since March have paid $700, disputing the charge of nonpayment.
