METER MONEY
THERE FOR YOU

II you have water meter and don't
sell it, it is your own fault The city
is in the meter buying business, as
anyone can tell by a little observa-
tion around the water office. To date,
lao meters have been sold out Of a
total Of about 345, leaving nearly half
OF them still in the hands Of the con
eumers.
I'VE have had some little trouble
with people who were only renters
Of meters coming to sell their meters
to Us. They however, were satisfied
when the proposition was explained /"
said Mr. Taylor
The question has 1een raised that
if a man owned a meter and then sold
his place, would the meter refund
money 30 to the property owner Of to-
day, or the original purchaser Of the
meter, OF the man who purchased the
meter The clerks in the water de-
partment are holding to the idea that
the meter goes with the property and
when the property is sold by the orig
inal purchaser OF the meter, title Of
said meter is vested in the present
property owner
