Gold Standard Bill.

We denounce the currency bill enact
ed at the last session of congress as
a step forward in the republican policy
which aims to discredit the sovereign
right of the national government to Is
sue all money, whether coin or paper
and to bestow upon national banks the
power to issue and control the volume
of paper money for their own benefit.
A permanent national bank currency,
secured by government bonds, must
have a permanent debt to rest upon,
and If the bank currency is to increase
with population and business, the debt
must also increase. The republican
currency scheme is therefore a scheme
for fastening upon the taxpayers a
perpetual and growing debt for the
benefit of the banks. We are opposed

ABOUT
SOME SUGGESTIONS
METERS.

John G. Trautwine, Jr., Chief of the
Water Bureau In Philadelphia, made
report to the Engineers Club in Phila-
delphia some time ago in favor Of apply
ing meters to the pipes in houses where
water is wasted. His report contained
the following suggestions, which engin-
GERS have consi Tered interesting:
In the first place, it is not proposed to
apply the meter to all dwellings, but to
those only where outrageous waste is
found to be going on, In the second
place, every metered supply, however
little the meter shows, pays minimum
charge established for the express pur-
pose of discouraging economy in the use
OF water, and in most cases the consumer
will have drawn all the water he can
possibly use and enjoy, and will have
done a lair amount OF wasting besides,
long before the meter reading equals
this minimum charge. The meter thus
char ges only for water wasted, and not
for all Of that, nor for water used,
There is, therefore, as rule, no in
ducement to be even careful in the use
of water from a metered dwelling house
supply, and this is as it should be
Otherwise undue economy might lead to
filth and disease. Gas may properly be
so charged as to induce care in its use,
but this is not the~case with water. 1t is
better to have a gallon OF water wasted
than to discourage the proper use Of a
mint

NEW YORK'S WATER PROB
LEN.
Question Of Waste Suggested by Great
Increase In Daily Consumption.
New York Tribuns.)

New YORK Tribune.
While the average daily consumption
Of water in Manhattan and The Bronx
has increased from over 100000 gal
Ions day in 1889 to over go, OOO, 900 gal
Ions day in 1900 and the average in
crease in daily consumption for future
years Is being estimated by the Depart
ment Of Water Supply at about so, O0O,-
coo gals. The officials of the Department
persist in the declaration that the actual
waste of water by leakage from the pipes
is only about 8 per cent Of the entire con-
sumption, Commissioner Dalton and
Chief Engineer BirdsalI declare that leaks
in the water mains are sure to show at
the surface and may thus be detected.
Superintendent Howard, who had
charge Of the construction OF the Hamil-
ton Fish Park, has asserted that many
millions Of gallons of water are allowed
to run to waste IN the sewers every day
in the city, and that the waste Is increas-
ing.
In addition to such large waste, there
is the larger waste OF water every day in
the Thousands Of houses to which water
is supplied at a regular yearly rate, with
out check upon the amount used. Eau
Gets in many houses are allowed to re-
main open to keep the water cool in
summer and to prevent the water from
freezing in winter, and the water is thus
wasted in enormous quantities. Leaks
in the housepipe are neglected. because
the waste Of the water costs the house
holder nothing. Chief Engineer Birdsan
has been asserting for long time that
most OF the waste of water in the city
could be stopped by the general use OF
water meters. He said to Tribune re-
porter:
There are about forty thousand water
meters IN USE in the city. They are used
By the large consumers Of water, IN fac-
tories and business houses. The daily
consumption of water that is registered
by the meters is about 81, OOO, OOO, gallons
leaving over. 200, OOO, QUO gallons day thai
is not measured BY meters People who
at the rate Of ten cents a hundred cubic
feet. They pay more than half OF the
money received for CrOton water by the
city. II there was a general use OF
meters the city would save 20 per cent Of
the water now wasted, and it would more
than double its revenue from the sale Of
water.
When Allan Campbell was Controller
of the city he decided not to renew a con
tract By which water for the shipping
was delivered at the piers for the yearly
sum of $50, 600. Water meters were con
nected with all the pipes at the docks by
order of Mr.. Birdsall, and water was
supplied to the shipping through the
meters. The results Of tho change WERE
somewhat surprising. The tugbOat anC
steam oat owners used as much water al
before, but paid less Tor it, and instead
Of receiving $50, QUO a year from contract
OF, the city received $I25. 900 a year from
the men who used the meters, An aver
age daily waste Of three million gallons
Of water at the docks was stopped as
soon as the meters were used. At one
DOCK alone a leak IN the water pipe had
been wasting twenty-five thousand gal
Ions day.
