Careless Manaasmsnt.

The auditing department Of Elyria,
o., has just made a full report Of its
investigation Of the municipal water
works. Among the points Of interest
In this report are the following: Def
lett for 1907, $S,0o5. 10; at least 25 per
cent of the water pumped not account
ed for; important meters allowed to re-
main out of order for periods varying
from II month to two years. The de-
partment recommends a SO per cent
increase In the rates and adds the fol-
lowing suggestive paragraph:
I'VE believe that the board OF public
fervice should keep In closer touch
with the affairs and financial condition
OF The water department from month
to month and require monthly reports
from the waterworks superintendent
as to amount of water pumped, SUP.
piles which probably will be needed
during the coming month and state
ment OF supplies on hand, etc"
