notice that the Water Commission
ers are very uneasy about the amount
of water being wasted, and they can't
think of any other way to stop the
waste, except to spend hundred
thousand thousand dollars for meters.
This is remarkable! How do they
know the water Is wasted? II they
know 1t Is wasted, why don't they
put their inspectors to work and stop
it? What are the inspectors doing?
Let our citizens stand up, and say
how often the inspectors have been on
their premises. As far as know.
they have been on mine once in twelve
months!! Fortunately I have no leaks.
and also no waste, rs I have always
had new washers put in when needed.
Why should not these inspectors, with
fat salaries, work at It all day? Other
people have to work from morning
until night. Why should these inspec-
tors not give their undivided time to
the work, and make regular and sys-
tematic rounds? I have no doubt that
there are hundreds OF water-cocks
leaking. that need new washers which
could be found IL looked for. II the
present inspectors haven't TIME to
do the work. there are others who
would be glad to have the job.
Now, Messrs. Commissioners, sun
pose you find out just how many
hours per day your inspectors give to
this work, and let the public know.
and perhaps you will discover why the
leaks are not stopped.
