METER PLEA Is UP
TO COMMISSION
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE

commission sets out. in part: That
permitting some customers 10 be on
a metered basis and others 10 be
on a fat rate basis is permitting an
unlawful discrimination as to rates.
Calls System Wasteful.
That the nOn-metered use OF
water is exceedingly wasteful. caus-
ing a much higher cost of opera
tons than would be if all services
were metered; and that said higher
cost of operation is in part unjustly
born by the metered services which
do not in any way contribute 10 this
wasteful condition.
That the continued service OF
the large number Of non-metered
services will in the immediate flu
ture demand a large extension OF the
water system and plant of the city
and will require a large additional
investment of money. which on a
metered basis would be entirely un-
necessary. That the city of South
Bend is rapidly increasing in pop
ulation and in the number OF water
rsers and that the consumption OF
water is now rapidly reaching the
maximum capacity Of the plant and
that the peak load has been reached
on several occasions recently. But
that the capacity of said plant would
be- sufficient for several years to
come if waste were eliminated.
wherefore this petitioner asks
that The rules heretofore adopted
bv the board of public works Of said
city and herein set outIbe author
lied and approved by his commits
sion and ordered published as part
Of the schedule of rates and services
of said municipal water utility.
II is necessary under the law TO
gain the approval Of the public ser
vice commission before the action
n the board of public works be-
comes legally binding

PROHIBITION LEADERS GLAD OF
 LAW MAKING STATE BONE DRY
Estes Liquor Dry Will Call Every TmeLawrence Wires Will Improve Moral
 and Economic Conditions

shipments of liquor was put in our Ala bama law as a sort of safety valve and to allow the old fellows a means of taper ing off. so there would not be so much temptation to get their liquor illegally.
 Things have moved so rapidly in Ala bama, however, that the state is now about ready to cut off this supply. Our people are being educated so rapidly on the evils of liquor that there will be greater cooperation than ever in mak- ing the state bone dry
 Judge s. D. Weakley, author of the Alabama law, said: Tt has all come about so rapidly that I hardly know what to say will be the effect. All of us who have our hearts in the cause are naturally elated over anything which will lessen the consumption of liquor. have not had an opportunity to make a study of the new statute.'
 P. C. Ratliff one of the best known of the prohibition leaders. said; "The new law will not hurt the cause in Ala bama. The prohibitionists, if they had been authors of the amendment them selves, might not have gone quite so fast. but the way the dry people in the House and Senate voted for it shows what they think of anything that promises to deal a blow at the liquor traffic The new amendment is all right.
 t'It proves once more that the liquor people are badly advised. The overwhelm- ing vote in both houses on the question is itself a blow at liquor, which will inn press the whole nation. It's effect will be far-reaching and liquor will be the sufferer"

Capt. J. D. Dick son, temporary president was in the chair and made forceful talk in open ing the meeting and in his introduction of the speaker of the evening paid a high compliment to his patriotism and ability.
