cial Warning From Chicago

Jack Frost and People Should
Protect Plants and
Flowers.
FROST WARNING ISSUED.

FROST WARNING ISSUED.
A special warning against frost to-
night, was Issued today by the Chi
caqo weather office and wired to
Fred z. Gosewisch, observer In
charge Of the keokuk office. The
message from the Chicago office was
to the effect that II the weather
cleared tonight there would probably
be frost.
The queen of the May Is likely to
get chilblains and frost bites yet. She
needed raincoat and rubbers today,
more than a sweet smile and wreath
of flowers, and judging from the frost
warning being sent from the weather
bureaus she should take preparedness
measures and provide herself with an
oyercoat or two.
The special frost warning was Is
sued from the Chicago weather
bureau and warned all Of the stations
that If the weather cleared by tonight
there was danger Of frost. People
who have flowers out should take pre-
caution to cover them, and gardeners
who have tender plants IN the ground
should take steps to keep Jack Frost
away.
Should the clouds still hang in the
sky tonight there is little danger of
frost, but clearing weather will bring
this unwelcome visitor, the weather
office fears.
The message was received by OBJ
server Gosewisch shortly before noon
today.

Majority of Realty Repre-
sentatives at Conference
Against the Plan.
REAL ESTATE BOARD
STATES OWNERS CASE
Says Disgruntled Tenant
Could Affect Landlord
by Wasting Water.

The meeting OF the Deputy Commits
sioner Of the Department OF Water
Supply, Gas and Electricity with repre-
sentatives of the various city civic or
ganizations recently was of more than
ordinary Importance.
In pursuance of the authority vested
in the Water Commissioner under
Chapter COZ of the Laws of 1916, he Is
preparing plans for the extension Of
the water meter system to every build
ing in the city.
The Real Estate Board of New York
opposed such extension and requested
that any definite action in this matter
be postponed in order that the next
Legislature may modify the law so as
to provide some protection for the
property owner.
The Real Estate Board says: "lf the
proposed plans were carried through at
the present time property owners would
suffer seriously. The owner OF build
ing is no more under obligation to fur
nish water to his tenants than TO fur
nish gas or electricity. Even the most
superficial observer can readily see
that, if all dwellings and apartments
are metered, while there would be a
slight conservation of the water sup
ply, which would, of course, benefit the
property owner, there will be ire
mendous increase in the owners water
bills.
This system would place the land
lord entirely at the mercy OF his ten
ant. A disgruntled tenant, by wasting
water, could run up the water bill to an
amount greater than the amount OF the
rent. and the landlord could do moth
ing. The Board of Health would not
permit the owner to take measures TO
curtail the tenants use OF water, and,
although not responsible, the landlord
would be penalized for the waste OF
water.
The Real Estate Board realizes, of
course. that there must be additional
revenue secured 10 maintain the De
partment of Water Supply, Gas and
Electricity and the enormous new
charges and expenses, but II feels that
the burden Of providing the money for
such additional expenses should not be
placed entirely upon the property
owner. The Commissioner was advised
by the representatives Of the real
estate organizations present that any
Wholesale attempt 10 increase the
metering of apartments and dwellings
would be strenuously opposed in the
Board Of Aldermen, and it is probable
that the matter will be laid over until
some arrangements can be reached
which will be satisfactory TO all con-
cerned."
