MUST PAY FOR WATER METERS.
Commissioners Deny Protest of Com
panies Against Expense.

Extending from the early part Of Sep
tember to the present date for final de-
cision, the protests Of the representatives
of several companies TO the installation
Of detector water meters at the expense
of the companies themselves, have been
denied by the Commissioners
The Knights Of Pythias Hall Associa-
ton, the Dewey Hotel Company, and the
District Of Columbia Paper Manufactur-
ing Company We're the complainants. In
stallation Of the detectOr meters was ad-
judged necessary, and was recommended
by Assistant Engineer Commissioner Kel-
ley, 1t being found that in all instances
where they were used the expense was
met by the property owners. The prop
erty owners in the present case objected
to the item thus put upon them. and
hearing was granted the representatives
of the Knights Of Pythias. at which they
voiced their sentiments and grievances.
The meters, IL seems, are used 20 de-
tect any unusually large flow Of water.
such as a leak, and also to prevent the
waste of water. The meters are installed
where large water service is deemed
necessary in case Of fire or other circum-
stances

on the way 20 their homes. "A unique and

RECTIFIERS AGREEMENT FAILS
whisky Men Must Comply with the
Pure Food Act.


Attorney General Bonaparte announced
yesterday that he had been unable to
agree with Warwick NJ Hough. OF ST.
Louis. attorney for the rectifers. on a
statement Of fact upon which could be
based a test case OF the whisky label
ing provision Of the pure food act. and
accordingly. the department would pro-
ceeG to enforce the law.
Early In the year the Department Of
Agriculture referred to the Attorney Cen
eral for his opinion on the exact forms
of label which the law would require. In
April the Attorney General held that
straight" whisky should be labeled as
such; a mixture of two or more straight
whiskles. as offended whisky" OF
''whiskies''; a mixture Of straight whisky
and ethyl alcohol. the straight whisky
predOminating, as compound" and,
finally, limitation"
The Department Of Agriculture has
been ready for several months to refer
such cases, hence there is expected to be
no further delay in the laws enforce
ment The initial cases will be carried
to the United States Supreme Court and
cannot therefore, be passed upon finally
for a year.
