like amount. No wonder socialism is
taking a grip on the country. Doesn't
it cost the same to pump 1000 gallons
used by the poor man as it does the 1000
gallons for the rich corporation? If
water were perishable commodity, or
subject to deterioration or of uneven
quality, then there might be reason
for making a special price to the large
consumer. s.t f...ass,,,,,l
BY the way, who are those fortunate
six who are enjoying the benefit of
! flat water rate? Wouldn't it be well if
their names were given in this report?
Itseems tome that the parochial schools,
Lutheran and Catholic, should, if any
one, be favored with flat rate or even
free water, since they are saving the
taxpayers at least $25, 900 annually.
The water commissioners may have
done something to deserve. the approval
Of the editor of The Leader. Certainly,
great deal must be done in the near
future if they wish to merit the apprc-
baton of the water consumers. L. c.
The Board of Water Commissioners
have no authosity to give the parochial
schools free water The Common Coun-
Gil can only exercise that authority
which it possibly would, if the matter
was brought to its notice. AS to flat
rate that is no doubt within the juris-
diction of the board and there is no val
i'd reason why it should not be given to
the schools. EDITOR.

The new 1911 city directory is now

The preface contains a summary of
the business and industrial growth Of

pecially interesting is the paragraph
devoted TO the census figures as an
nounced by the government census
bureau for FL Paso. This is fixed at
39,27s, but the preface says that this
is not the true population, since it does
not include the outlying suburbs, the
smelter settlement, nor Fort Bliss. The
actual population OF FL Paso is in ex-
cess Of $4,000, the preface says.
