Our Water .Tax-Metevg- re


Editor Star: L agree fully with sou in the
editorial remarks made a few dayss;nce as to
the injustice of asking those who get no water,
or but short supply, to pay the same as those
who get plenty. Fer instance, . aid some
SEQ last spring TO have the water put into nv
house-a rented house at that-at my ewn cost
i carried IT int the Kitchen only, because it
would not rise to the second floor; and sor weeks
past conld get none, except tor q skort time
morning and evening. We have had a solutely
10 go 10 the pumps, square OFF. to get alter for
house use-and that in midwinter, Daring the
most Indictment and stormy weather. At the
same time parties in the lower portions of the
city, who are ehsrged no more than l.. have
full supply At all times, day and night Not
only this, but to my personal knowledge there
are many buildings in which it is allowes to run
constantly to waste, in the water closets and at
other points-the excuse being that it is 20 keep
the pipes from reeziDg, in some cases. end in
others from pure " cussednsss." Under such
t it ,s simply an outrage to ask me
TO pay for what don't get, and which others are
allowed to waste. New, in this connection,
wish to suggest three ideas:
First. That the rates should be in proportion
TO the pressure as well as the size of the house
When the pipe is tapped let the officer apply a
pressure gauge, and let the pressure be recorded
on the books and the charge be regulated &C.
eeralngly This is perfectly easy and simple
practice; for every school boy knows that the
vary with the head
valve, that will close automatically as soon n
the hand is removed This will prevent all
waste, and costs but trihe more; or,
Ihlrd- Require meters to be used in all cases.
Meters can be made and finished so as not to
exceed $40 to SIS in cash; lad at that rate it
would be better and cheaper for all to use them,
as then they would pay for just what wafer they
use and no more. Besides if the water was not
Wssted-aRd more especially when we get the
new main-it could be used Q motive power
fOr operating sewing machines, washing ma
chimes, small lathes, and all similar purposes,
where but little power is required, thus adding
greatly to the convenience of the public, and in
n n Ga mat H.
doubtless be urged that meters cannot be furn-
lshed at such price, but am so well satisfied
they can be that 1 would be willing to under
take II, II the city will make their universal use
obligatory. and give me "a contract to furnish ali
that would be required. As this however il a
matter for the public welfare. there should be
no speculation about it, and therefore the city
shoul1 Dhave them madeitself, and supply them
at cost. w n
