As the water works are paying pretty
we'll, q statement from Water Superintend-
emit Brown as to his reasons for urging an
expense on the city for meters, and annoy
ance of measuring every drop of water each
family consumes, would be interesting and
Instructive. If the people need educating
on the subject of the use of water, they
ought to he educated, and then perhaps
everybody will advocate the cha rye. Il
the city water is dangerous, we ought to
know that, too.
Water Superintendent Brown in bis
annual report again recommends to Coun-
Gil the introduction of water meters; not Of
course, as a saving Of pumping labor, but
in order that the employees may have a
Winter as well as Summer job in flushing
bydrants. Under the present arrangement
of use all the water you can. circulation Of
water in the mains is active, and there
is little necessity for flushing, even in
Summer; but with meters, the use Of watel
would be curtailed, and the Superintendent
instead of being kept busy at the pumps
could flush bydrants, a job requiring bott
great skill and nice judgment.
