WATER BOARD
EXCESS CHARGES
Department Can Make Refund
Only in Year Excess is
Collected

G. Wesley Weldin sent to the Board
Water Commissioners this morning
B request for the return Of double
7ater rent paid on properties owned
~ him beyond Market street bridge.
t appeared that the double charge had
oeen made and a refund of 80, paid by
Mr.. Weldin last year was ordered.
Mr.. Weldin had asked some time pre-
viously that double charges paid by
rim on the same properties as far back
IS 1906 be refunded, but as there
rose a doubt as to the right of the
BOARD TO refund excess charges in years
.ther than those in which the excess
rentals were collected no action was
aiken in this particular 1t was point
ed out that bills for water service ex-
pressly state that all excess charges
must be made known to the depart
ment during the year such charge is
made. The bylaws Of the department,
however, failed to show such a regula-
ion and as it was the opinion of the
board that such a regulation should
be Incorporated in the bylaws the de-
partment will meet in special session
on Wednesday to consider such an
amendment to the rules.
At the same meeting the depart
ment is expected to adopt a bylaw
providing for the payment, by the
applicant, for the installation of water
system for fire service. II was ex-
planned that other cities make a
charge for this work.
Sometime ago the board decided to
compel property owners to install de-
tective meters on fire protection sys-
TENS. n. b. Danforth opposed the
ruling because Of the high cost of such
a meter and the department abrogated
the rule Now the department will
ask that only the cost of the installa-
tion of the fire systems be paid by

The multiplicity of flying devices
leads inevitably to discussion as to the
Rdvisability of establishing rules for
regulating aerial navigation. One
genius has suggested that certain
strata be designated as routes for Ger.
tain classes Of airships, though just
how these routes are to be marked or
"buoyed" is not explained. But COM
plication difficult Of adjustment may
arise If the contention of some lawyers
Is correct. This is that under the COM
mon law, which comes from England
and in turn was based on the old Ro-
man code, property holder owns the
air above his head, with no limit to
height. This, In English.speaking
countries, at least, would make tres.
passer Of any aviator who flies above
another's land, and if identified and
caught the flying man could be pun
ishGd accordingly. All these things
are conjectures, of course. Still, 1t Is
evident that If travel by the air route
shall ever become general there will
be many novel points to be considered.

Helen Holbrook could readily slip out
at the back of the house, when the
guards thus met, and that she had
thus found egress on the night before.
At this moment the two guards met
precisely at the front door, and to my
surprise Sister Margaret, in the brown
garb of her sisterhoOd, stepped out,
nodded to the watchmen in the light
of the overhanging lamp, and walked
slowly round the buildings and toward
the lake. The men promptly resumed
their patrol. The sister slipped away
like a shadow through the garden;
and l dropped down from the wall in
side the school park and stole after
her. The guards were guilty of no
improperly in passing her; there was,
to be sure, no reason why Sister Mar
garet should not do precisely as she
liked at st. Agatha's. However, my
curiosity was piqued, and crept quiet
ly along through the young naples
that fringed the wall. She followed a
path that led down to the pier and
hung back to watch, still believing
that Sister Margaret had gone forth
merely to enjoy the peace and beauty
of the night. paused in little thick.

pier flooring; and drew as near as
dared, in the shadow of the boathouse.
She stood beside the upright staff
from which the pier lights swung
the white lantern between the two red
ones-looking out across the lake. The
lights outlined her tall figure distinct

eral times, and l heard the impatient
tap of her foot on the planks. In the
lake sounded the faint gurgle of water

canoe glided to the pier and a man
stepped out. He bent down to seize
the painter, and l half turned away.

had drawn me after the sister. Nuns
who chafe at their prison bars are not
new, either to romance or history:
and this surely was no affair of mine.
Then the man stood up, and saw that
it was Gillespie. He was hatless. and
his arms were barred. He began to
speak, but she quoted him with
word; and as with a gesture she flung
back her brown hood, l saw that it
was Helen Holbrook.
Il had given you up" she said.
He took both her hands and held
them, bending toward her eagerly. She
seemed taller than he in the lantern
light.
Il should have come across the
world" he said.
You must believe that I should not
have asked this of you if l had not be-
lieved you could do it. without injury
to yourself-that it would impose no
great burden on you, and that you
would not think too i'll of me-"
Il love you; l am here because I

and weak; but he was, I believed, an
honest fool, and my heart grew hot
