Meter Inspectors.

There are now i'm use nearly 12, 900 water
me ers. Although the great majority of
the water bills are paid annually the
meters are read every TIRES, months. In
the case of large the
readings are made once a month.
and the bills rendered accordingly. Tnen
there are other who receive
and pay their bills quarterly but the
water used In dwelling houses is paid Tor
but once a year.
The reading Of the meters in these
houses every three mon his is more for
the purpose Of seeing that everything is
in proper shape than anything
else. L, this way leaks are discovered
and the consumer is saved the ex-
pense Of water that otherw ise would run

ally, but not frequently, cases are dis
covered where resort to trick
ely to yet more water than they pay
for. They are quickly detected and the
plumber in the case Is promptly
punished by a fine and il his crookedness
is chronic his license is revoked. More
over, persons who thus try TO. swindle
the city are told that they can have no
more water which Is about as effective a
means of punishment rs could veil be
devised.

NEW YORK. April 1.-THE record Of

higher figure during the last week than
the high average of the preceding week.
There were 1,1s3 deaths. against JAG

LOTT for each corresponding week for
the last five years. Pneumonia still
continues to be the principal cause of
the high death rate, and the number of
deaths caused by this disease was
higher during the last week than at
any time in the annals of the health
department. There were 304 deaths
from pneumonia alone, an increase of 81
over the previous week. and against an
average of 176 for the corresponding
week of the last FIVE years. DIR. Nagel
attributes the increase to the influence
of grip. He said that grip might be
called epidemic just now, there having
been twenty-five deaths from the dis
ease during the week, against fourteen
during the previous week. In a mai
ity of cases grip was fatal contribut.
ing cause, being generally complicated
with other diseases. There were five

hours ending at noon Saturday. The
high death rate represented an average
