1t requires several thousand tons OF
ice to keep Spokane half wayy cool
during the summer months. If you
stop to think, Spokane annually ex-
ponds over 100000 for ice.
The raise, coming SO early, seems
unaccountable, but for the fact that
the ice harvest has not been of the best
the past winter.

The sprinkling season opens in Spo.
kane today and will continus to Octo-
Der i. The water proposition remains
the same as it did last year with little
prospect of relief for the people.
Commissioner Weymouth is Of the
opinion that if water meters were in
stalled in every home in Spokane and
q special rate made for the water used
on lawns the strained condition would
be removed.
From figures obtained from the city
engineer and members of the board Of
public works yesterday, it was learned
that to install &-inch meter it would
cost S23 for the meter alone and from
"a to IS to put it in. A smaller meter
would not answer, but would give cons
slant trouble.
1t was estimated that IL would re-
quire between 5000 and 10000 meters
to supply the homes of Spokane. At
the lowest estimate, then, il would re-
quire an expenditure of $2l6 600 on the
part of the city at the expense Of tho
taxpayers to carry out this risky exper-
iment. 1t would be impossible for the
city to carry out the measure without
an enormous appropriation, requiring
an additional tax levy, which Spokane
is in no humor to endure.
Soheming to Raise Funds.
The city council already has sent
request to the city treasurer and city
comptroller to devise some means BY
which enough funds can be raised to
extend the water mains which were
ordered built last fall 1t is expected
that some conclusion will be reached
today by Comptroller Daggett and City
Treasurer Eggleston.
City Engineer Gill said yesterday that
for s2l5, 1000 a new force main could be
brought from the pumping station; and
for $4,000 new pump, capable OF
pumping 10000, 600 gallons per day,
could be placed in the station. Mr..
Gill, however, is strongly in favor OF
the two 1000, OO0-gallon tanks, one for
each side of the river. These, Accord
ing to Mr.. Gill, will cost only 10000.
weymouth Stands Atoms.
Commissioner Weymouth seems to
be the only member Of the board Of
public works in favor of the meter
proposition. Other members expressed
themselves in favor of hiring several
inspectors to watch the amount Of
water used and to see that sprinkline
was not done out of hours.
