The commissioners Attention Called
to Them by a Delegation.

District building yesterday by appoint
ment, to confer with the Commissioners

meters, they do not believe there is any
Justice in existing conditions, and asked
for an investigation. The meters cost
from $40 to $50, and one of the gentle
mer said his firm had paid a tax of $63
under the meter system.

wired its consul here to reopen the
