The Graphic has a clever cartoon

in opposite direction the one using

Circulation and Dead Ends.

There has been great deal of useless
talk about system of laying water mains
so as to keep up circulation of water and
prevent freezing. 1t is the merest non
sense to spend any time or words in trying
to keep up circulation, for every hydrant
in town is dead end, the water from the
main to the hydrant standing motionless
at all times, when the hydrant is closed.
The safety of life and property depends
upon the hydrants being always in condi-
ton for use, and the only way to do that
is to place the pipes below the frost line
mot the frost line of mild winter, but
Of the severest winter known. All other
devices arc worthless. The only absolute
safety is to be found in placing them below
the frost. No coarse. gravel or rock
should be used for covering the pipes.

The increase Of IL per cent here indica-
ted illustrates the general increase of local
taxes in this country--an increase which
has been going on for ten or twelve years
past, and which threatens, if not arrested,
to make taxes in some states insupporta-
bic. The figures given do not exhibit all
the taxes levied in Illinois. for the large
cities have their own assessing and collect
ing machinery, and their officials do not
report to the state auditor. 1t is estlma
ted that the taxes levied in these large
cities amount to $7,000.O00, which would
make the aggregate 100000 very
large sum for population of 100000 to
pay, in addition to their share of the fede..-
al taxes.

The Value Of Steam in squirts.

For some days past Mr.. Sup't Boynton
has had the Rescue steam FIRE engine on
Eagle street, with gang of men, squirt
ing steam into the water main in order to
thaw hole through 1t to the Illinois st.
main. They generally got to work about
10 o'clock in the forenoon and knocked off
about in the afternoon. 1t seems to us
that it would have been good economy,
if the squirting business was to be kept up.
to have worked two sets of hands and run
the machine night and day, for the reason
that it generally took some two or three
hours, every morning, to thaw what had
frozen during the night and get in as good
a position as when they left off work.
Yesterday they got hole thawed up to
Illinois. st. distance of 229 feet, after
many days Of squirting, and when they
got there what do You suppose they found2
Water? Not drop. They found the
Illinois st. main frozen solid. Work. in

expense the people have to pay except
that the gas works furnished coal to run
the engine. .nsza g,'a- q aau sig
Well-what's to be done? The super
indent is waiting for orders from our sum
mer water board. It is probably hund.
red feet from the Eagle st. valve to a
point in the Illinois st. main where, water
would be reached. And probably the
safest way to thaw the main would be tt
uncover it. This would be pretty ex
pensive job. And if it should be done
who, on Eagle ST., could take water p
Nobody, without digging up or thawins
out their service pipes. And that will b
done by July or August,if the water boart
continues the Eggletonian system of squirt
ing steam. The board is bound to thav
out the pipes in that way, if takes all sum

that, when they get hole through tn
pipes this part of the city will be deluge'
with the Eggletonian hot water caused b
