STRANGE FACTS
Connected With Norfolk's Wonder
full Sliding Scale Of Water Rates
How largo winter Consumers Turn
on Water, Lo, 1. Enn TO Waste
and Thus Reduce thoir water
Bills.

It is not generally considered that n
person can recklessly waste and abso-
lutely throw away anything of value
and yet save money by the operation.
AS q general rule the proposition that
waste entails loss to the person COM
hitting the said waste is an unassail-
able proposition, yet among the won
derful things accomplished In Norfolk
under present rules and regulations.
water meters can, and some do, save
money by turning the water cocks in
their places of business and allowing
their meters TO run up big debts of
water consumed.
Strange. yet very simple, when you
carefully examine the sliding scale of
water rates for consumers with me-
ters.
These rates, as furnished yesterday
at the Water Boards Office to Virgin
Pilot representative, are as follows
per quarter:
Under $4,000 gallons,-4o cents per
thousand
10000 to 100000 gallons.-3o cents per
thousand.
100000 to 5000 sallons,-2O cents per
thousand.
100000 to 100000 gallons.-15 cents
per thousand
100000 gallons and upwards,-1O
cents per thousand
JUST FOR INSTANCE.
Suppose Smith runs n factory and
uses $1,000 gallons in Il quarter His bill
for water is $1,000. II he turns on his
water and let's 5000 gallons run tc
waste his meter will register 10000 gal
Ions, bill S27.O0,-$I00 saved.
If he uses ordinarily $4,000 gallons,
bill $3.50, he can throw away a thou
sand gallons and save $500 in his bill
Perhaps Brown is q larger consumer
and ordinarily uses 100000 gallons of
water His bill at 20 cents per 1000
would be S14S.0o. He could turn on
water and waste 1000 gallons and his
consumption OF 75l 900 gallons at Is
cents per 1000, would be Sl12.G5; so
Brown would by wasting 1000 gallons
of water save S35.35.
Or again, Brown, who ordinarily
uses 100000 gallons or water, at 20
cents per 1000. cost S14S.OO. can use
246.000 gallons more or Il total OF $4,000
gallons, at 10 cents per thousand, for
less money, that Is, his bill for the
$4,000 gallons would be only S147.90
Again. the consumer using trne
less than 100000 gallons, say $4,000
gallons. ut Is cents per 1000 gallons.
cost $149.S5. could take 100000 gallons
for $149.90-that Is. he could get FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND (500. o00) gyll-
Ions of water for FIVE CENTS.

rumored about the city that the young
lady who is mentioned in the letter
was we'll known young lady of Nor

drowned, on October 18th or 18th. She
is supposed to have fallen from nm out
ward bound or incoming steamer. Her
dress and jewelry indicate wealthy
young lady. Near where the body was
found were some scattered fragments
of letters, which the fishermen did not
value. but 1t was thought she came
from Norfolk, and that her name was
waters or walters. This I did not
learn until yesterday. as the long
shoremcn never think of such things
until they hear some one speak of it.
Should you hear anything relating to

Anne county,

meeting of dozen leading gentle
men who own property at Virginia
Beach was held yesterday morn
ing at the law office of Mr.. 81. b. Seld-
ner to discuss matters connected with
that popular resort and It's future.
This meeting was the result of long
brewing and quite general dissatisfac-
ton caused by county taxation with
out any return in the way of eXpendi-
ture of money for improvements at
Virginia Beach by Princess Anne
county.
The property owners there have fire.
quently petitioned the county authori-
ties for protection to their property
from the ravages of the waves, the con-
struction of various side streets ana
some measure of police protection.
1t is roughly estimated that the own
ers of property at Virginia Beach pay
about $1,000 to $4,000 annually to Prin-
cess Anne county in taxes. and it is
stated that this sum brings no benefit
to the residents and owners of property
at Princess Anne. but Is expended else
where in the county,
Every fall and winter the winds and
waves make havoc with the shore, and
each year It lis necessary to spend large
sums of money in bulkheading and re-
pairs. The property owners feel that
n considerable portion OF the money
they pay in taxes should be expended
for the protection of the shore line.
They also desire the opening and
grading of various side streets and
other improvements and some degree
of police protection.

RACING AT LOS ANGELES.
The Great PAGERS Are Soon to Meet
There.

Lewis Thorne, Secretary of District
Agricultural Association No. 8, Los An

champion PAGERS, Joe Patchen, John r.
Gentry and Anaconda, for a purse Of
So 600. The race TO take place on
October 21st, the first day of the Los
Angeles meeting. The meeting begins
October 21st and runs to and including
October 2Sth.
Beyond doubt this race between the
champion PAGERS will be the best race
that has been seen on this coast for
years, and it will draw many thou
sands from all sections west of the
Sierra Nevadas. Secretary Thorne's
methods are up-to-date, and as he is
a stickler for clean high-class sport the
meetings at Los Angeles are. always a
success socially and financially.
