BATHTUBS USED
FOR COAL HOOS
HOneSdaIe Man Tells of
Work as N. Y. Water
Inspector
EUGENE DRUNIM AND VINCENT
kILROE BOTH IN BIG CITY'S
EMPLOY.

Eugene Drumm, formerly of
Honesdale, who for the past three
years has been in New York City,
is engaged as an inspector of meters
and water consumption in the me-
| tropolis. He recently was engaged
in supervising crusade against
leaking waste water and all unneces-
sary use of water in the city. Mr..
Drumm, on tours of inspection, has
encountered many humorous and in
teresting experiences. He told a
Citizen representative Tuesday that
in the lower tenement houses the
bathtub is discarded altogether and
that the tub is used as a bin for coal
and wood. In some bathrooms the
windows had been removed and the
place was used to house pigeons.
Large tanks are used upon the roofs
of some of the tenement houses and
in one instance Mr.. Drumm stated
that he and another inspector heard
splashing noise. Making further
Investigations they discovered that
boys of the tenement house were US
ing the tank for a swimming pool
and they were having the time of
their lives. The water is forced in
to these tanks by means of a hy-
l..
day an inspector was making the
rounds and had occasion to go to the
cellar. He uncovered the water
pump, which was under a pile of de-
bris. and was about to make his exit
when four-legged ram appeared on
the scene and sent him against the
wall with terrific force. The much
frightened inspector, trembling in his
boots, barely escaped with his life
and 1t was long time before he
would enter tenement cellars again.
The goats are used by children as
pets and the cellar serves as stable
for both the waterman and pet ram.
Mr.. Drumm states that there is
great waste of water in New York.
An examination in the poorer tene-
ment district showed that there was
a waste of 95 per cent, while in the
residential section it registered 80
per cent. These districts pay from
81 per month to $4,000 per year
water rent. One of the largest ho-
tells in the city consumes 562,5O0I
gallons of water per day. In this
consumption is included water for
ice machines, fountains, etc. The
water bill amounts to SIS per day.
Other hotels pay $500 per month.
The tour of inspection was made
during the summer months by a.
corps OF 200 men. Mr. Drumm and
Vincent Kilroe, also of Wayne coun-
ty, We're the supervising inspectors.
Mr.. Drumm secured his position
through the civil service. He was in
class of 1900 persons who took the
examination. OF this number 25OI
were successful in passing and Mr..
Drumm stood third on the list.
Honesdale is always glad to hear of
the advancement and progressiveness
of its boys. The Citizen congratu-
lates Messrs. Drumm and Kilroe up
on their success in life and sincerely
hopes that they will not stop until
they have reached the top of the
ladder of success.
