Water Department Installing Meters
SxtySeven Put In Since December First Making Total oi Over 3OO--Leaks and Bad Fixtures then Given At tention--Reservor Benefits from Rain.

done this winter. There is a large amount of water which runs to waste through leaks and bad fixtures, and the department has been looking after these. It is claimed that there would not be as much opposition to meters if people understood how to read them, but as they do not in many instances it causes confusion. The department is therefore having the new meters, of the type which registers like the regis ter in trolley car, the amount of wa ter used showing all the time, instead of recurring the figuring out of the amount.
 The reservoir on Monday showed a four inch gain from last week, being POP 1-2 inches below high water mark. There is a good sized stream coming in from Bog Meadow, where the excel lent water shed. becaues of the rain and melting of the snow, is furnishing a large quantity of water which more than equals the amount used' Ine rain on Sunday amounted to 20 of an inch.
Norwich bulletin., 1909-01-26

For the past two months the water department has been engaged in in stalling meters, and a total of sixty seven have been put in since the first of December, making a total of 300 in the city altogether. These meters are put in by the department, and as a result there is a great saving in the amount of water used. Attention is given to bad fixtures and leaky joints, which benefits both the department and the property owner. The owner by checking the leaks has to pay for less water, and the water saved all helps, especially at this time, when the reservoir is low.
 During cold weather in particular many people allow the water to run all night to prevent freezing. When there is a meter this counts up rapidly, and at times Curing the present winter, with the low supply, places on the high points have been cut off of water there by. In many such places and in others where the department has been asked to put in meters, the work has been

The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1909-06-12

literature he a been taking from tine
library. Curiosity. mingled with a
feeling that I might gather some clew
with reference to his acts, led me the
next day to take the card to the library
and have a look at the books he had
been reading. What was my astonish-
ment to find that one was upon Cen
trail America, three upon Honduras
and a fifth on the rubber industry of
that state.
After some thought these were my
deductions: Tom had at first thought
Of going to Australia, but had changed
to Central America. He had selected
Honduras and when he got there
would invest the money he had taken
in either the rubber trade or a rubber
forest. More likely the latter, since 1t
would give him a better chance to hide
from the world.
The day after / reached these con-
illusions / started for Florida and from
there sailed for Honduras. Landing
at Puerto Cabello, / went into the In
terror. l made inquiries for an Amer
lean who had come to Honduras to
negotiate for a rubber tract. The
state Is not a large one. and any n
going there with money would not re-
main unnoticed by Its people. OF
course 1t would be useless to inquire
for one by the name of Martin. for the
skulker was doubtless using an as
sImed name.
1t was Just two weeks to a day when
I learned of u man answering Mar
| tins description who was dickering for
q rubber tract some ten miles away
from me. | went to where he was and
on a porch In q small town came upon
the man l was hunting. When he saw
me he collapsed. | told him that all !
wanted was Mrs. Coale's money or as
much of it as he had left. If he would
give me this he might stay where he
was for all me us long as he liked;
il not he would go back to stand trial.
He turned over eighteen $1,000 Unit
ed States bonds. which was what re-
manned of Mrs. Coale's little fortune.
| receipted for it and started home.
| found that Alice had taken Il posi-
ton and gone to work. The evening
of my return | called on her and her
mother. This was the first time !
had seen them since their misfortune
Mrs. Coale chided me for having kept
away in the hours of their trouble,
while Alice maintained a cold reserve.
| didn't know whether to attribute 1t
to the cause her mother mentioned or
some other. In truth. she seemed
stunned. I'm not naturally facile in
