II know there is an occasional abuse
in the use Of water. I have seen a

Waste Of Water Indicated.

THAT is not being done on any general
SCALE" replied Mr.. Burleson. I want to
direct the attention of the gentleman to
the fact that the per capita consumption
Of water in this District is 178 gallons a
day. Does not the gentleman think that
Is entirely too much, indicating waste7"
1.-THE gentleman does not mean to say"
remarked Mr.. Sims, that there Is a con-
sumption Of 17S gallons per person per
day among the class Of people I am talk
used by everybody amounts to that, but
surely the water consumption by families
does not approach anything like that. Be
sides that. the gentleman has begun leg
islation which / heartily approve, by
which we are going to increase this water
Great Falls. Now. l have been noticing
this discussion from time to time. The
water supply at present is abundant1y
sufficient, even without these meters. but
the Commissioners think that the time
may perhaps come within the next ten
years when 1t will not be sufficient. and
we may require new aqueduet or an
additional supply of water. The addi-
tional supply Of water is much nearer
than ten years, and will be abundant. and
1t costs a great deal Of money to buy
these meters. and they have to be paid
for out of the water revenues"
II think the gentleman Is mistaken
about that. believe the meters cost not
to exceed 3d." suggested Mr.. Burleson.
1T would take a long time for the ex-
cess Of water that the families would use
to pay that much money" said Mr.. Sims.

itation and against cleanliness, and

trict government. The purpose OF TINS
item is to reimburse the federal gov
eminent for one-half Of the cost OF

mains 1t was clearly the intention OF
Congress that the government should
be reimbursed. but through an over
sight the provision for the purpose was
not carried in last years bill. Instead
of casting burden on the government
the effect Of the stem is to pay to the
government $4,000 Justly due it.. A.
Does the gentleman deny, Mr..
Johnson inquired, that there is not
due to the government $4,000 more
than thiS?'
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-01-24
Amplifies His Explanation.

II have said," Mr.. Burleson returned,
that the appropriation aggregated $175.
100, but the work Of extension did not
cost that much; 1t cost only 100000, and
consequently the government ought not
to be reimbursed for more than one-half
of that sum. The gentleman knows that
there Is, on an average, about per
cent of the amounts of every appropria-
ton bill that passes through the Con-
gress that remains unexpended. This was
very close estimate of what would be
required. 1t cost $3.50, 600 to do the work.
One hundred and sixty thousand dollars
was expended, and we are seeking to re-
turn to the federal government one-half
the amount actually expended. The re-
manning. portion of the s175, 100 was not
drawn from the Treasury. Do 1 make

For these extensions" Mr.. Burleson
penditure Of $175.1OO. but when the En-
gfneer Commissioner had performed the
service he found that It cost only $780,
600 to do the work. When he had COM
pleted these extensions he had expended
100000 of money, leaving In the Treasury
$15, 100. Now, we seek to reimburse the
general government for the one-half of
the money that was taken out of the
Treasury, which we think now should be
returned, inasmuch as this was service
that was to be Jointly paid for by the
District government and the general gov
eminent"

Point Of Order Reserved.

Representative Sims Of Tennessee re-
served point of order against the para
graph providing for. continuing the ex-
tension Of and maintaining the high serv-
ice system Of water distribution
II reserve" he said. "a point Of order
on SO much of the section and paragraph
as provides for installing meters in
private residences. That is new legisla-
tion.'
This policy Of Installing meters was
inaugurated about three years ago." said
Mr. Burleson. 1T is a work now in prog
ress, and we have been continuing the
Installation of water meters since that
date. want to assure the gentleman
from Tennessee (Mr. Sims) that there
is absolutely no hardship imposed on any
one by the installation of these water
meters. The purpose Of installing the
meters Is to prevent leakage and wastage
Of water. and 1t is very rare indeed that
any increase in the annual water charge
Is made against any person as result
Of Installing a water meter"
mo doubt the statement Of the gentle
man is correct when he says there is no
increase in the charge. but thas Is not
the question" said Mr.. Sims, because
after the installation of water meters
they will not use the same amount OF
water that they would use without them
The trouble with me has always been on
this very question Oh installing water
meters in the houses Of the poorer peo-
pie that the very fear of increasing the
charge will cause them to exercise
economy in the use Of water when they
ought to use 1t more lavishly. think
1t is not in the interest Of good sanitation
of this District to put water meters in
private residences, especially those OF the
poOrer tenants or renters

'I am in thorough accord with the
Views expressed by the gentleman from

bility of proper sanitation and the proper
use of water" said Mr.. Burleson. land !
want to say to him that the officers in
charge Of this service have no DISPOSE
ton to Cypress anybody. They have no
purpose to fix an extortionate charge for
water. They have no desire to lessen
the quantity of water within reason be-
ing used by the people Of the District OF
Columbia This installation OF water
meters has served a useful purpose, and
1t Is a work In progress and should be
carried further. We have installed,
think. probably $1,000 meters, and the in
stallation ought to continue"
Policy Of the Commissioners.
'T have no objection to It anywhere
except in private families, and do not
object to the installation of meters In
many private houses" Mr.. Sims con.
tinued, but the poorer tenant class

mice in every Objection. am sincere

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-01-24
Would Exempt the Poor.


Mr. Sims added that rather than have
the dwellings Of the poor metered he
would take meters out Of every private
house in the District OF Columbia
1.-The charge for meter service in the
District says Mr.. Burleson, lis cents
for 100 cubic feet, with minimum rate
of $3.50 q year. This allows the use OF
$4,000 gallons Of water, and conscience
knows that is enough.
Il do not mean" said Mr.. Sims, that
this water rate will be high. "but the
trouble about 1t Is that those who are not
able to pay any rates at all will use the
water sparingly; they VIII not use II as
they would If they thought they were not
being charged for 1t in that way-that Is,
by measure. You take the poor, and they
are the very people who ought to use the
water in their houses and on their per-
sons all the more lavishly. They are the
very people who are not able to pay for
water, even II 1t is only cent hundred
gallons.
81 hope the gentleman is correct, that
the Commissioners will never put meter
in q house of that kind In this CITY,.
Mr.. Sims then withdrew the point Of
order he had raised.
Street Lighting Discussed.
When the section relating to street
lights was reached Representative Mann
of Iowa had few things to say. Il
am in favor of putting lights all over
Washington. but think 1t is entirely I'M
necessary to put on some of the streets
of Washington lamps fifty or seventy
Ave feet apart. Some Of the new lights
are put very close together. There Is
no reason for putting more lamps than
are necessary / know 1t Is very conven-
tent for persons who live on the street
and sleep in the front rooms to be able
to undress, and SO forth. without any
and sometimes it is desirable perhaps, to
avoid conspicuous view, but there Is no
necessity for putting lights on the street
thick enough to light all the inside Of the
houses" -
