portance to the laboring men of Far
go will come before the meeting to-
morrow, and every mai Interested Is

METERS NOT COMPULSORY
Their Use is Not Required by the
Commission, But They Are
Found Economical.

There Is still considerable mis-
understanding as to the installation
Of the new water meters. Many peo-
pie are Of the opinion that the COM
mission will compel all home owners
to install the meters.
This is not the case. Those who
feel that the meter system will prove
more economical to them may have
the meter installed. Others may con-
tinue to get their water at the old
fiat rate. There was such a demand
for the meter system that the city
decided to accede to the numerous re-
quests, in the belief that home owners
would be benefited. This has proven
to be the case wherever the meters
have been used. But there is no COM
pulsion about their use, except to
large water users.
Over 200 Of the meters have arriv-
ed, and are now being tested at the
pumping station. They will be INSTALL
ed shortly.
