MEASURE THE WATER.
Some Practical SuggestiODs on a Sub.
tect Which Is Now OF Interest to
nur peonle

We believe the more people think about the
change the town has made in introducing the
system OF measuring water sold, the more
people will favor 1t and come to regard II as
the only equitable way to sell water. There
ought to be nothing revolving about PROPOSE
tion TO pay simply for what You get, neither
less nor more. The man who is using more
than he knows he Is entitled to may oo)ect,
but be has no just reason 10 do so 1t has
been evident for some time the system OF no

raised or that some system be introduced by
which the consumer will pay for what
ne uses at rate per tnousaha ;han gali9bnIs ,bIs
ia last % plaS aseeiI is the the proper one. but
that they should not furnish the meters. 1t
is simply matter OF business and II they fur'
nish the meters they get the water at lower
sumer will necessarily have TO pay more per
thousand for his water and thus eventually
defray the cost Of the meter-an operation oy
which he buys the meter on the instalmsnI ha hana

sumner is required to furnish the meter. In
other places, where the water rate can oe
placed llRQ enough, tuc towu VIII tuih'ou sAAe

Iist OF rates of other water using towns might
prove OF interest to our readers.
Mr., S. L. Miller, OF Columbia, formerly OF
Yorkviile and still owning considerable
property here has written to member Of the
town council In reply to some inquiry as TO
meter rates. He says:
"Enclosed send you lists Of towns using
meters, furnished by Mr.. Wilson the engi'
neer, and the rates they charge for water.
Chester charges 80 cents per thousand and
Mr.. Wilson says II costs Chester IL cents per
thousand to pump her water and he would
suggest In order to form some Idea OF what IL
takes to pump your water that you would
permit people TO continue to use 1t just as
they are doing and you keep an itemized & ex.
pense OF what 1t costs to pump II, 1ncluolng
the wages Of your engineer. He does not
think you could possibly come out for less
than IS cents per thousand. He Furthermore
stated tn at 1t is q very common thing FOR the
water works people to require the consumers
to furnish the meters and where they DO that
they also give the consumer the right 70 per
NIT the company or town to furnish the
meter but in that case they require the con-
sumner to pay more for bis water. Say Tor IN.
stance you charge the consumer 70 cents per
thousand and he will furnish the meter or 80
cents per thousand and the town would fur
nish the meter"
The lists OF towns referred to is as follows:

Norfolk, Aug. 1.-THE report OF the sale OF
the Atlantic and Danville railway to the

which have been in progress for sometiIne
mast have been consummated, and the Atlan-

integral part OF the Southern railway system.
The Southerns trains will probably run over
the newly acquired line TO PlnneLs Fosne'
where the Soutnern's great terminals are To-
Gated. The arrangement will probably abro-
gate the existing trackage arrangement be-
tween the Atlantic Coast Line and the South,
chattanooga express will be run via Danville
instead OF through Selma and Raleigh. IL
will not shorten the schedule materially.
