MAKE NO EXCEPTIONS.
Response to Objections to Metering
Water for Street Sprinkling.

Woodward & Lothrop have forwarded TO
the Commissioners copies of correspondence
recently passed between the firm and the
water office regarding the metering of wa
ter used In the street sprinklers in front
OF the firms buildings. We cannot think
1t was the intention" the writer's say. Ito
require parties TO pay for water for street
sprinkl!ng, as the water going through
these street washers Is used for no other
purpose. The supply Of water to all por-
lions Of our buildings, including the boil
ers and sprinkler system. passes through
the meter but We understand IL is not Gus
tomary to charge for water passing
through street washers where it is used
for no other purpose than for washing or
sprfnkling the streets: which Is in the ma
ture of public benefit"
The Commissioners referred the matter to
George F. Green. the water registrar. for
report. He has stated that it has been the
practice OF the Office in late years where
premises are required to meter their water
service to require also meter measure OF
water supplied to street washers. In prem
fses which pay according to schedule rates
the privilege Of the use OF hose connection
goes with the assessed water rate, but
where water is used for street washer only
a charge Of from s. to $40 annually Is pro-
vided, showing conclusively. the water reg
istrar says. that II is not the intent to fur
nish water for street washing free OF
charge.
There is no greater source Of waste.
continues the registrar, than in the unre-
stricted use Of the street washer. but where
such supply Is metered the consumer WIN
be careful to prevent waste. An examina-
ton of the rates in other cities, among
which are Detroit Brooklyn, Boston, New
York and Louisville. shows that charge Is
made for hose CONNECTIONS.
The Commissioners have approved the
report and say they do not deem II wise
to make any exceptions.

American Fall at Niagara Goes DR.,

special to the New York Times from
Niagara Falls. N. Y. yesterday says: The
American Fail was practically dry today
and for the first time in ffty-five years
people were able to walk about in the river
bed.
So little water was flowing over the
American Fall that men In high boots al
most could have crossed at the brink.
The extraordinary condition was due to
an ice jam which formed in the shallow
places up the river. The ice was driven
from Lake Erie into the entrance to the

REAL AND SPURIOUS RABIES.
Kill the Dog First and Make Scientific
Inquiry Later.

From the New York Tribune.
When a dog behaves on the street or
other place Of public resort in such man
ner as to excite a suspicion OF hydrephobia
there seems to be but one proper. course
open to the police. The conduct of the
animal may be due to some less formidable
distemper and IT'S bite might possibly be
harmless. There is no way to find out the
truth ofrhand. though. and 1T win not do to
wait for a scientific investigation. Quite
aside from the possible effects of an attack
upon other dogs or upon human beings. 1t
is necessary to have some regard to the
panic which such an incident creates among
women and children. No matter how fool
ish their fears may seem to others. the
consequences might easily prove more Sc
nous than the bite of a seemingly mad
dog. Obviously the most pressing duty Is
to allay apprehension by shooting the ami
NAL.
This however should not be the final dis
position of the case. Whether any one has
been attacked or not 1t Is important to
know whether the dog was really suffering
from rabies or not. II 1t had some compar-
ativeiy trifing disease. something which
was not infectious. the sooner the public
has the assurance OF that fact the better.
II, on the other hand. the outbreak was
really one Of hydrophobia both the civil
authorities and the medical profession
should be promptly advised. Evidence Is
thus afforded that other mad dogs have
been at large recently In the same vicinity,
and grave questions are instantly raised
to the extent of their ravages. In England
a single suspicious case is sufficient to elicit
an order for the temporary muzzing of
dogs In a limited district Some time Amer
leans VIII adopt the same policy and with
the same happy result Still, intelligent
procedure IL feasible only with accurate
knowledge. Hence the police ought to turn
over the bodies of all dogs which are even
suspected Of suffering from the malady I'm

cisive verdict one way or the other from
