HOSE USERS COMPLAIN.
Not Enough Inspectors to Enforce
the Meter Ordinance.

Commissioner Monroe of the Water Depart
ment admitted yesterday that hundreds of
householders were being charged for water used
in sprinkling yards with a hose. while other
hundreds of their neighbors used the hose with
paying extra for the water.
The ordinances require that to secure per-
nit for a hose with which to sprinkle yards
the water for the hose must be metered. This
works all right in theory. but it seems to be a
failure in practice
TN have to admit" said Colonel Monroe,
that there is a great lack OF uniformity in
handling water users who hose in sprink
ling their yards and gardens. We try well
as we can TO compel every one who uses hose
to put in a meter. and then pay for the water
as metered. There are many people who take
the risk of being fined for violating the ordi-
nance. They go ahead without permit or
meter and have a plumber put the right
kind of faucets to take hose, and then use
the water This is a direct violation of the
ordinance, and will subject the offender TO ex-
pensive fines The trouble with is that we
have not inspectors enough to enforce the law
Many people who take the risk of not being ap-
pretended will perhaps never have to pay for
the water they use in sprinkling their yards
4 receive complaints by the score from peo-
PIE who say that they have put in meters and
are paying for the extra water used, but that
their neighbors have not put in the meters and
sre using the water without pay They want 10
know why there is such discrimination. Some
of these letters I answer. No one more than
myself deplores the fact that we have not sufff-
cient inspectors properly TO enforce the law in
this respect. I think 1t would be profitable in
vestment for the city TO employ enough inspec-
tors to have the ordinance enforced to the let
ter
Last year inspectors from the Water Depart
ment found a number of prominent household
ers using water In violation Of the ordinance,
Mayor Low being of them.
