Individual Waste of Wafer.
From the Chicago Post.


CarclessnesS of householders In allowing
thtlr Faucets to remain open when not

mains and pipes are the two causes given
by the city engineer for this great waste
and consequent needless cost to the con-
sumers 1t Is shown that Boston. by IN
cessant care. has been able to reduce its
waste water to about ten gallons per
capita day 1t is believed a saving of at
least 20 per cent can be effected in Chicago

olrectiy attributable to householders is con-

uses or wastes the higher water tax he

THE BIG COAL MERGER

/ Pittsburg. Sept. All the bitumin-
Gus coal mining companies OF Penn
sylvania. Ohio. Indiana. Illinois, West
I Virginia and Kentucky are TO be con-
solidated into one great corporation by
the j. z. Morgan syndicate. The enor-
nous proportions of this corporation
can hardly be realized. The fact that
the Pittsburg Coal company with its
capital of S64, coz, 900 and the Monon-
gahela River Consolidated Coal and
Coke company, with its capital OF $50
600, 600, are TO be included IN the
greater consolidation brings the matter
strongly before Pittsburg coal opera
tors. These two corporations practi-
cally control all the output in the
Pittsburg district and extend their OPP
erations well down toward West Nir-
ginia in two directions. Officers of
these companies are expecting TO at
tend meeting of the coal operators in
New York on Thursday of next week,
at which the preliminary steps toward
Ihs f2r9sa....t!og Of the greater combine
viii be taken Tss',. - = siEseoS' -
The railroads are also taking keen
the Morgan interests predominating in
that field. the consolidation is looked
upon as being unusually strong. The
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad company, the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad company
and Western roads under the Morgan
influence are associated, il is said, in
the great movement, which promises
to rival in its importance the recent
organization of the United States Steel
corporation. The plans for the con-
soIidation have been going on quietly
for some months. The plan of action
is said to have been to first get the
minor corporations of one state and all
the individual operators as well into
one company, on the same basis as the
Pittsburg Coal company. After this
had been accomplished, the intention
was TO group all the companies and
control them by Il parent corporation
as a stock owning company only. 4
The combination of the OHIO fields
is said TO have beer brought into fair
ly good shape. The Indiana fields and
those in Illinois are also in form for
the final move, as recent corporation
plans there have brought the many
individual coal interests together. In
kentucky the plan is still in an EN-
briotic state. but a company has been
planned with a capital of S10,000,00o
to take up all the coal mines there.
The West Virginia fields are perhaps
the most difficult to handle, owing to
their location and varied ownerships.
The completion of this great project
will mean the consolidation of from
5000. 900. 900 to S30o0o0,0O0 of invest
ed capital.
