FIGURES ARE
UNFAIR

In support of the movement to
install water meters in Spokane a
showing has been attempted that
this city's water consumption ex-
ceeds that of Seattle, is almost
double that of Tacoma and is
greater than that of Portland.
The daily water consumption of
the cities cited in comparison is
given in gallons as follows:
Spokane, 2e,5o0,00o; Seattle, o..
100000; Portland, 22,500,Oo0; Ia
coma, 100000 to $4,000, 900.
Information is also supplied that
meters are in use in the coast
cities and the inference is left
open that the diminished use of
water is the result. The deduction
designed is that meters will pre-.
serve Spokane from water scarcity.
The showing is entirely and de-
IiberateIy misleading SO far as peo-
Pile are concerned who are not &C.
quainted with Pacific Coast climate.
The Puget Sound and Portland
rainfall is probably the heaviest in
the United States proper. oregon
mists that drench as effectively as
rainstorm are frequent visitors
at Portland between showers, and
the long rains of fall, winter and
spring saturate the soil to a great
depth.
Similar conditions prevail on
Puget Sound. Probably not one
third the sprinkIing is required
there that is necessary to keep
vegetation green and growing in
Spokane. In smaller places on the
west side, where city water faciIi.
ties are not convenient, no attempts
are made to irrigate, but the coun-
try remains bright green the year
around. The nights are cool and
heavy dews are constant, even in
midsummer.
The figures given are for the
current consumption this year, the
summer season of which has been
unusually arid In the Spokane coun-
try. On the coast a long and un-
usually wet spring encroached far
into summer and the temperature
has not been enough above the nor
NAL to be noticeable for any length
of time.
Spokane has been made beautI.
full by the unlimited use Of water,
and plenty of water must be fur
nished to keep it SO. This applies
