WATER METER FIGURES.
Statements From Several cities
Where Meters Are Used.


Where Meters Are Used.
The following from Fire and Water, a
journal published in New York. on the sub
ject of water meterage is of interest in
Savannah just now, pending the decision
of the question whether the water meter,
as part Of Savannahs municipal econ
omy, is to go or stay:
During the last fourteen years Toledo,
O., has added about 1,4OO meters to it's
meter system-in 1896 691 meters were set
the whole number of meters In use in the
city being now 1859. The disbursements
on meters during the past twelve months
amounted to So, 1861; receipts from sale of
meters, $6,022.50 of meter repairs $4S3 10.
OF the 1859 meters in service 1872 are of
the Hersey rotary and disk patterns; Gal,
Trident; 81, Worthlngton, the rest being
of the Niagara, Thomson, Union, Ball &
Fits, and other standard makes The re-
port of the secretary, adverting to the SUBJ
ject of meterage, says:
The beneficial effects Of metered service
is shown in the fact that, while we pump
ed less water last year than during the
previous pear, yet our receipts were nearly
$4,000 greater. AT Richmond Va, where
meterage is to be compulsory, the super
intendent Of the water works has received
desired and to begin placing them as soon
as practicable The meterage rate for
street sprinklng water is cents per 1000
gallons.
Chief Trautwine of the Philadelphia wa
ter bureau, recently made the statement
that over half of the water supplied to the
citizens is wasted He, therefore, put in
very strongly plea for the universal use
of meters In the city, adding:
In dispensing water otherwise than by
meter we are simply following,a precedent
established in the earliest days of water
supply and wholly untitled to present con-
ditions. To supply water at annual rates
varying with the size of the attachment is
as crude and unscientific as it would be
for merchant to charge his customers
an annual rate depending upon the size
OF the doorway through which he took his
goods.
He then draws an invidious comparison
by asking what the result would be If
gas were sold in the same manner. A de-
duction from the engineers figures was
that in section comprising 1,064 pieces of
property over seventeen per cent, were
found wasting water at a rate of $130 each
per annum. The idea is by no means a
new one in Philadelphia, and 1t has the
Endorsement of many experts on the water
| question. All the chiefs of the water bu-
reau for some years back have pressed
| councils to make trial of the scheme
and Chief Trautwine, goes so far as to
express the view that the introduction of
these water meters, by reducing the waste
| OF water, would have the almost imme-
date effect Of doubling the actual water
| facilities needed. AS showing the injustice
| to individuals of the present system, a
citizen who has made a trial of water
meter In his home for a period of three
years and six months presents figures to
/ prove that, while he was charged $69 70 for
| water consumed during that time, the me-
/ ter demonstrated that but Al, 500 cubic feet
| of water were used in his home.

CORNER STONE PUT IN PLACE.
IETHODIsTs LAY THE FOUNDATION
OF 4 NEW CHURCH.

Impressive Ceremonies by the Pcs
tors of the Four Savannah Con-
gregatiOns-The Corner Stone De1-
icated by Rev. J. II. Scruggs-Mr.
s. b. Adams Address-The New
Church Not Yet Named
The cornerstone of the new Methodist
church, in course of erection al Seventh
and Jefferson streets. was laid yesterday
afternoon. The announcements of the ex-
ercises had attracted a number of people,
and the ceremony was witnessed with
much interest.
The pastors of the four Methodist
churches were present. as were also rep
resentatives Of the laity of each church.
The members Of Marvin church, of
course. largely predominated, as it is for
their worship the new church is being
built The name Marvin will probably
not be selected as that by which the new
church will be known so no designating
name was used.
Rev. j. II. Scruggs, pastor of Trinity
church, presided over the exercises, which
were opened by the singing Of a hymn
This was followed by prayer by Rev
A. NJ. Williams Of Wesley Monumental
church. This prayer was that prescribed
by the discipline of the Methodist church.
south, in the order to be followed In lay
ing cornerstone. The prayer was fol-
lowed by a reading from the Discipline
by Rev. J. H. Scruggs, who then stood by
the stone, after having placed it in
position, and laying his hand upon it, said:
I'VE lay this corner stone of a house to
be built and set apart from all worldly
uses for divine worship, in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost, amen"
The address was delivered by Mr.. s. B.
Adams. He held the close attention of his
audience. His address was largely des-
criptive of the work Of the Methodist
church, its achievement and the historical
facts in which it's members feel a pride.
His references to the early days of the
church, when it's establishment had not
been fully effected, were listened with in
terest, and keen appreciation was felt in
the difficulties and obstacles that envi-
roned the pioneer Methodists. A rever-
ence due the earliest Methodists for the
strength of the foundation they laid for
the mighty superstructure of the Method
ism of to-day was paid them, the influence
they exert in this country and was forcibly
recalled. Mr.. Adams noted the
statistics that assert that one-third of the
people of this country are either Methodist
or are more nearly influenced by that than
by any other denomination. In speaking
of the ceremony of laying a corner stone
for church, he said that it is computed
that two Methodist churches are each day
begun.
On the close of Mr.. Adams address the
doxology was sung and the benedictlon
was pronounced.

was a vestryman of that church. He was
active in every measure which tended to
the benefit of Savannah, and no appeal to
him m behalf of any charitable or public
institution which met his approval ever
passed unheeded. Oftentimes he saw. be-

Some years ago when the Bethesda Or

without further inquiry and without hest
tation a check for $1,000.

family. He was 81 years of age.

Chairman Mott of the racing board of

playing havoc with the amateur standing

somebody is informing on them. Harris,
Leist, Guerard, Del Barrio and several
others have received inquiries, and the
riders are all stirred up. Some Of the

Kinsey returned from Atlanta yesterday,

than adverse comments on the Ocean

to cheer them over what they term an
arrangement that will injure their city s
trade interests.

endeavoring to get a movement on foot
for the establishment of another line of
steamers between Philadelphia and Jack
sonville, calling at Norfolk Portsmouth,
Newport News, Wilmington, Charleston
and Savannah.
