When real estate men buy a house
nowadays in Omaha they are learn
ing to inquire closely as to whether
the water meter in the house is paid
for.
About year ago the Water board
began to talk OF charging home own
ers for the meters that were installed
by the old Water company before
the city bought the plant. The matter
aroused no great excitement at the
time, but lately some interesting
cases are coming to light.
Harry Wolf reported a case 10 the
Real Estate exchange. A man of his
acquaintance bought a house few
years ago. 1t was represented TO him
as clear OF incumbrance OF any kind.
Now the Water board refuses to
turn on the water for this man unless

And Now the Question Is, "Do You
DUN Water Meter in Your Home:?"

he pays them for the old meter which
was in the house for many yeais. /,
The contention of the Water board
is that this is one OF the meters in
stalled by the old Water company.
which company at the time retained
ownership in these meters. When
the city bought the old water plant,
the present Metropolitan Water dis
trict asserts, it acquired ownership
in these meters as well as in the other
accessories OF the plant. Now the
board claims the right, to sell this
meter to the present owner of the
house, or to remove the meter.
This client of Mr.. VOLTS wants to
know whether this is right and
whether he can come back upon the
man who sold him the house, demand
ing that he pay the Water board for
the meter, or whether he will have
to pay for it himself.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Dec 11.-Nirtual stoppage
of export buying of wheat and the fact
that marine insurance rates on the At
lantic has been withdrawn proved a
heavy burden today for holders Of
wheat, especially as the submarine is
sue with Germany seemed more acute.
The market closed weak y to &c
net lower, with May $l.75 a Il ana
July $l.477s Ml.4S. Corn lost q to !
to ! * to l5c, oats * to q and
provisions to 471ac.
Although at first bullish foreign ad-
vices tended to lift the wheat market
a material sag took place when hopes
of a better European demand began
to dwndle. Scarcity Of supplies in
Great Britain and elsewhere gave only
a temporary advantage to the bulls.
Announcement that railway embar-
goes would halt shipments of corn to
Baltimore put the corn market on the
downgrade.
oats trade was small. Absence OF
inquiry from the seaboard had bear
ish influence.
Provisions gave way on account OF
big deliveries of lard on December
contracts.
