The water meter graft Is bobbing
it, head up again.
It IL proposed to tax every lot in
Chicago from 5000 to $500 for water
meters, besides the great expense IL
will entail upon all users Of water.
Chicago has an immense water
fund. II part Of 1t was devoted to
wards building pumping stations at
the lake end Of every section line in
Chicago there would be no water fam.
Inc anywhere.
II IL astonishing what men the
water meter people can influence to

Some men who ought to know bet.
ter are talking for water meters.
More than that the high pressure"
scheme IL up again.
According to some advocates It will
only cost thirty or forty millions Of
dollars to install meters and high
pressure" system. The poor will have
,, to pay the cost.
With half this sum additional pump.
Ing stations could be built which
would more than supply the demand.
A well known engineer who was ad.
vocating high pressure" and water
meters said the other day, according
to daily papers, that one Of the chief
troubles in Chicago was the very high
consumption Of water. which averaged
about 1000 gallons per capita daily,
caused largely by waste and under.
ground leakage from broken connec.
lions. As remedy for waste he
recommended water meters. The test
Of the water pressure made In the
loop shows an insufficient pressure,
but he said that the city was install.
ing q large number Of water mains,
none under eight inches, and these
would materially improve the pres.
sure.
The health Of the city demands
plenty Of water for everybody.
The installation Of meters would
limit the consumption Of water and
raise the price Of living on the poor.
Higher rates would have to be
charged in the residence districts and
tenants would have to pay the water
rates after the landlords had paid an
exorbitant rate for installing water
meters.
This form Of graft 10 particularly
Objectionable to Chicago people. They
will not stand for II.
