Why was not Captain Streeters

claim Of some of the present benefici-

Why should the City Of Chicago pay

All In the lake front OF the city and

proper stand In the matter and has
the full backing of the public.
Any member OF the Legislature who
votes to give away Chicago's rights IN

ALDERMAN CAPTAIN Is RIGHT

There will be less automobile kill.

He wants a police rule requiring

stop at every street crossing.

with the street car controversy. He
will present 1t to the mayor at his

bring his plan to the City Council at
its first fall meeting on September 80.
The alderman did not suggest that
the rule be made permanent. He said
II could be repealed at any time and
that even II 1t were in force only a
few days its effect would be extreme.
~ beneficial. He said 1t would check
speeders, 1t would teach drivers to
keep both eyes open at crossings, and
1t probably would bring automobile
owners to the city hall suing for
mercy.
ITS not such a radical step as II
might seem at first glance" said
Alderman Captain. why, we made
the railroads spend millions and mil
lions OF dollars to elevate their tracks
because they were killing man q

mobiles killing man a day. Some

WATER METER GRAFT.

The water meter graft Is bobbing
its head up again.
It is proposed to tax every lot In
Chicago from 5000 to $500 for water
meters, besides the great expense 1t
will entail upon all users Of water.
Chicago has an immense water
fund. II part Of 1t was devoted to
wards building pumping stations ut
the lake end Of every section line In
Chicago there would be no water fam.
inc anywhere.
It is astonishing what men the
water meter people can influence to
their way Of thinking.
Some men who ought to know bet.
ter are talking for water meters.
More than that the high pressure"
scheme is up again.
According to some advocates 1t 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
tons. As remedy for waste NJ
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 a 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 woult
limit the consumption Of water ant
raise the price Of living on the poor
Higher rates would have to b
charged in the residence districts ant
| tenants would have to pay the waite
rates after the landlords had paid a
exorbitant rate for installing waite
meters.
This form Of graft is particularly
Objectionable to Chicago people. The!
will not stand for It.
It hits everybody and It 10 unnecei
