HOW DOES 1T IMPRESS YoUq

The Board of Affairs Informed the
West Virginian yesterday that the
plan of the new water rates was In
tended to decrease the rate to small
Domestic consumers and to raise it on
the large consumers. The lowest me-
ter rate (thanks to the council) is
six dollars per year instead of twelve
dollars as the commissioners first
fixed 1t. But the scale of meter rates
is graduated downward very rapidly
for the''large consumer of water. The
first ten thousand gallons costing
30c per thousand gallons and all over
$4,000 gallons only costing cents
for each additional thousand gallons,
OIL in other. words, 1t would be practi-
cally as cheap after the first $4,000
gallons Is used to open the spigot and
let 1t run.
Do the last ten thousand gallons
of water cost the city any less than
the first ten thousand gallons?
For instance, a person or firm uses
100000 gallons of water per month,
the first $4,000 gallons under the
graduated SCALE would cost $1,000
and the additional $4,000 gallons
would cost only $3.50 bringing the
average rate per 1000 gallons down
20 12s cents. /.
Does this leave the impression on
the reader that the rate is being
lowered to the small consumer and
increased on the large consumer?

WHY NOT DIVIDE THE JOBS 2

There are many business people all
over the country whp are inclined
to the opinion that possibly Demo.
cratic administration, free trade
tariff policy, and kindred things
might have something to do with the
great armies of unemployed men in
this country today. The response.
bility seeming to rest with the Demo.
cratic administration would not our
beloved city commissioners be serv-
ing their party to the best advant-
age If they, who are now holding two
jobs. would divide them with the un.
employed.
We would not have to go to the
Pacific coast to get Gen" Kelly's
army to fill the places. The unem-
oloyed are in our midst and plenty
of takers can be found for any. vacant
places that may be offered them.

LET THE PROBE GO DEEPER.

We noticed that our friend Con-
gresham Nelly, has introduced a
resolution in congress asking for an
investigation into the charge that
some mills and factories were closed
down in this district during the late
congressional campaign for the pur-
pose of affecting the vote of the
workers. We would suggest to the
esteemed Major that he broaden the
scope of his resolution to include the
activities of the Diamond Club and
ascertain If that institution did not
close down on the day of the cleo
tion for the purpose of affecting the
result in Fairmont. The investiga-
tors could hold cloak room session
and take the testimony of! John
Smith without leaving the capital.

Ed. West virglnian:-
Your valuable paper of Mprch 9th
informs us that from now on all wa
ter rents will be charged from the
new rate schedule" We submit this
question to all fair minded citizens:
Was ittust and fair to the water con-
sumers to present this matter to the
Public Service Commission without
giving notice of the time and pace:
that the citizens who are to be robbed
might be present and defend them
selves?
The rebuke given this highland:
ed movement by the city council had
scarcely reached the public car, than
one of the -Four Hour a Day" men,
hastened to Charleston and got the.
approval of said Public Service Com!
mission.
Well, they knew that unless the
approval OF these unjust rates was
gotten at once, public sentiment
would prevent this unfair water rate.
Unfair, why? Because 1t is based on
the size Of residence instead of on
the number of occupants.
1t doesinot take any more water to
take a bath in twelve room house
than for the same person to take a
bath in six-room house.
Yes, unfair; because the two per-
sons tmafn and wife, who occupy a
modern home, living quietly by them:
selves, without servants, perhaps.
must pay for the number of rooms,
large or small, us a hotel. which is
built for commercial purposes.
The originator of this plan must
have had water on the brain" Say,

Possibly the City Commissioners
have nottaken into consideration the
fact that there will be more water
consumed in Fairmont after July tnc
first.
And again possibly they have.
We can never tell.
If they have so considered, perhaps
they want to follow the example OF
other monopolists and make 1t pay.

many people who will have moro
money to buy water with after July

VICTORY LETS WHITE
BATTLE WITH WELSH
Eight of Thirteen Newspa-
pers Give White Decision
Over Shugrue.
T9Y LEASED WlRE.1

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-Charles
White won the newspaper decision
over Joe Shugrue for the light eight
championship of America and the hon
or of meeting Freddie Welsh, world
champion in a finish fight. The YER
dict of thirteen New York and Chicago
newspapers, mostly New York, repre-
scented at the ringside last night by
their sporting editors. stood eight to
five for White.
AS long, however as New Jersey has
mosquitoes, and as long as Chicago re-
mains by the lake, each city will claim
it's fighter won last nights bout unless
the fighters get together somewhere
and make a finish go of it.
The fight was one Of the fastest
offered to New York for years. and in
the first four rounds there was abso-
lutely no choice between the boys. In
the fifth round White began to reap
the benefit of his longer reach, and
greater knowledge of the finer points
of the game. Even then it was far
from One-sided, and Shugrue came
back in the sixth with another round
to his credit.

the summer Of 1914 under trained
supervision. This experiment was
also successful and indicates that
such service should be continued and
additional play centers opened.
City Uses Buildings.
The use Of school buildings by the
community has increased during the
year. This has been especially true
of the high school auditorium and art
gallery These have been in almost
constant demand for club and public
meetings. Ward schools have also
been used by local organizations Of
both women and men for social SER
vice work Closer cooperation be-
tween teachers and patrons has been
encouraged by frequent meetings at
the school building of an educational
or recreational nature.
The course Of study in the higher
grades has been made more compre-
hensive and more flexible. School
gardening and printing have proved
popular elective subjects. Cooking
and sewing have been extended to
several of the sixth grades of the city.
1t is very generally recognized that in
the high school years, pupils should
discover as far as possible, their
capacities and specific abilities. 1t is
for this reason that the curriculum
for these years should be broad and
inclusive.
Teach Children Better.
The study of the fundamentals, the
tools of knowledge, has not been neg.
lected nor the time devoted to them
lessened. That they are being taught
better than ever before has been con
clusively proved. BY improved
methods and better facilities all the
children of the community are being
better taught than We're the favored
few of our grandfather's day. Some
skill in music and art is given to each
child and appreciation for these is
, cultivated by association with the
work of the best artists and music
; ianS.
The health Of the children of the
community is conserved by instruct
ion. inspection and improved sanitary
conditions. Probably no work the
school is doing is of more immediate
value to the community than that
which results in an appreciation by
every citizens of the need and value
of improved sanitary surroundings and
/ hygienic living.
