on the motion to set aside the sheriffs
sale Of the property of Arthur l.. Fos-
ter and wife at Thirteenth and

sold in October for $4,000 to Charles

claimed the property was sold below
its value and that the notices of the
sheriffs sale We're not properly
posted.
Mahlon B. Foster, sentenced today
10 prison term for a federal offense,
who is a brother OF the owner OF the
property, was needed as a witness.
Mr.. Adair said The court refused 10
allow the case to be postponed until
tomorrow morning. ID. J. Reinhardt
said Mr.. Foster had put a valuation
of $4,000 on this property and no
witnesses are summoned by Mr.. Adair
representing the owner, to testify to
the value Of the property. Mr.. Adair
said he was as much ready now as he
would be at 230 o'clock and would
have to submit to the order Of the
court, After the court had ordered the
case called this afternoon Mr.. Adair
gave the names of his witnesses and
said in Justice to his client that he
could not go into the argument with
out the survey by the Street and Sew
er Department. The petitions to set

thirty-siX permits during the month
Of November for building operations
costing S90.364 In the corresponding
period of last year 81 permits were

ed is shown by the fact that forty

METER WRONG,
WATER LEAKAGE
NOT EXCESSIVE

That the leakage OF water from the
city mains is not so great as had been
supposed. was reported to the Water
Commissioners today by Chief kngi-
neer Kienle Ii has been discovered
that an instrument for measuring the
flow Of the water from the reservoir
into the city mains was inaccurate
and registered a greater flow than
actually passed into the mains. On
this point Engineer kicnle's report
said
Work upon the underground leak
age investigation With the photo
graphic pitometcr has been tempor-
arily discontinued and the instrument
returned to the company. Due 20 It's
inaccuracy the amount OF water flow
ing into the high service system OF
the city during the night hours was
recorded at the rate of three million
gallons daily while tho measured flow
was actually at the rate of l-2 mill
lions daily Before the error of the
instrument was discovered the system
had been subdividcd TO locate the eX-
cessive consumption. hut these records
could not be made to agree with the
total. and the actual how through
ventura meters was therefore taken.
This demonstrated the discrepancy in
the readings of the instrument and
the fact that an excessive leakage
previously assumed did not actually
exist
Tests conducted on the piping sys-
tenn IN the district bounded by Chest
nut, Linden. Van Buren, and Broomt
streets. show that an mains aud SER
vices. with the exception OF the one
at property No. 312 South Franklin
