Water Meters Cause Stir

Placing of water meters on the
service pipes at houses where lawns
and trees are grown by the city is
arousing much adverse comment. In
some cases where these meters have
been tried out they indicate that at
present rates it will cost $40 to $12
a month to irrigate a town lot, and
the enforcement of such tax would
compel owners of homes to let Their

The grand jury reported to Judge
Cole as follows:
To the Honorable, the Superior Court
of the County of Imperial, State of
California.
The grand jury impaneled by the
Superior Court of Imperial County,
July 10th, 1915, respectfully submits
its report, as follows:
The grand jury, Immediately upon
being impaneled, began it's labors by
appointing the following committees,
viz:
First, on jails, public schools and
public morals.
Second, on roads, bridges and coun-
ty property.
Third, on public health and public
offices.
Public Schools.
In order to arrive at better knowl-
edge of the work and cost of maintain
ing our public schools, Mr.. C. T. Will
lis, the special auditor employed by
the Board Of Supervisors to audit and
report on the books of the various
county officials, was instructed by the
grand jury to prepare and give to
the grand jury complete, segregated
report of the total expenditures of
each of the various high schools and
grammar schools, including salaries
paid to each teacher, and each jani-
tor; also the enrolment of pupils in
each school, and the average attend
ance, with the average cost of each
: DIpil; also a complete statement of
expenditures for INDECENT patients
paid to st. Thomas Hospital, or others,
for the care of INDECENT patients, and
the amount paid for drugs, medicines
and other supplies purchased, and in
response to this request, there has
been presented to the grand jury the
complete and detailed report of Mr.
c. T. Willis, the special auditor en-
ployed by this body to investigate and
report upon the affairs and financial
condition of the public schools Ga copy
of which is submitted herewith, and
copy filed in the office of the county
clerk), and from which we make the
following deductions:
Any figures used in our report, or
that have been compiled, are either
taken directly from, or are based Who'll
ly, upon those contained in the spe-
cial auditors report, or on those set
forth in the little booklet gotten out
by the county superintendent of
schools, Mr.. A. P. Shibley, entitled
"Teachers' and Trustees Directory of
the Public Schools of Imperial Coun-
ty." There are in some instances
quite material differences in the fig
ures of these two men, but they in no
way affect any deductions made there
from in this report.
Any suggestions or recommenda-
tions contained in this report, rela-
tive to schools, while largely based On

them last week within and on the
verge of the fortress line.
The French, after a series of des-
perate attempts to regain the village
of Douaumont, apparently have
paused for the moment to take breath
and gather strength before renewing
their effort to crush back the German
wedge which has been biting its way
into the vitals of the proud fort4*s.
The viewing point of the battle froaa
which the Associated Press sorresporf
dent has just returned is the Chaumes
forest, which offers the nearest pos-
sible sheltered point of observation to
the village and fort of Douaumont.
The fort itself was barely two and
one-half miles distant from the cor
respondents position and the village
only short two miles away.
Closer inspection would have been
impossible unless the trip was made
by night, fl the intervening country
is open and in full view at several
places of the French observers.
The wood itself had been swept and
torn by a hail of snrapnel, which the
French launched earlier in the day
which the Fr0ch launched earlier in
the day while searching the thickets
for concealed batteries, and it had also
been under a heavy shell and rifle
fire in the eaSlid' phases, Of the Of
fensive.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.--Sinister
indications of German guilt In the

claimed to see a hint that Germany

offers of reparation and promising
to punish the submarine commander.
