men who read the $4,000 meters in
use now at a salary of 81 200 per.
year each; at that rate it would take,
375 more readers at an increase of
about 100000 for salaries in the,
meter-reading department alone.
This does not include extra clerical
hire, postage, etc.
The great waste is not from leaky,
plumbing as it is claimed by the de-
partment, but from leaky mains,
caused by electrolysis, arising from.
the street car system, and imperfect
pipes which result in blow-outs and,
cave-ins. AS an Illustration, in re-
pairing the main on Clark street, be-.
tween Harrison and 18th streets, the,
department estimated there, was a.
saving of 100000 gallons per day;
in repairing the main on Fulton,
street, from Union to DeSplaineS,
streets, there was an estimated saw,
ing of 2,550,00 gallons day. These,
leaks are general all over the city
and these two instances are only
cited to show the enormous leakage.

The department does not intend to-
furnish metered water at the present,

meter installed in her residence, as,
she had heard that the taxes WOULD
be much less through the meter SER

could not have it at the present time;
that the department intended to in
stall meters in all residences ulti-
mately, but the rates would have to
be readjusted, as at the present rates
she would only be using about 81

where they have the meter system,
for water the charges are from twoA
