park system.
During the afternoon session, Ed
ward NJ. Hirsh, postmaster at Ia
maqua, commented upon the unjust
criticism which the Postoffice De-
partment had suffered. He said
that the average person does not
allZe the enormous task of the
department.
About II o'clock last evening the
postmasters heard that the Presi-
dents special would be in Harris
burg for a short while, so hastily
securing a band. they marched to
ne station to see the chief eXecu-
tive. President Wilson, however,
had retired and issued orders that
he was not to be wakened on any
account, so that the postmasters
were forced to give up the attempt.
Picture of Franklin
The feature of the meeting this
afternoon was the presentation by
Postmaster John A. Thornton. of
Philadelphi2, of the portrait of Ben
Jamin Franklin to Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson, who accepted it in
behalf OF the department.
This picture, which measures
t4X76, is full length, life sized por-
trait of the first postmaster general
and is generally conceded to be one
of the finest portraits of Franklin
eXtant i'm this country. 1t is the
work of Benjamin A. Osnis, of Phila-
delphia, who has succeeded ad-
mirably in reproducing the Frank
lin a public affairs, and not of the
venerable philosopher type which
has been so popular with other
painters.
The portrait will be taken to
washington where it is to be hung
IN the of1ce of the postmaster gem
eral beside the portraits of the other
postmaster generals of the United

Town Experimenting 6
Water Meters

The city authorities are install
ling twenty five different makes
of water meters, all being
placed on trial for six'months, to
see from which they get the bet
ter service. The meter system is
the fairer system for a man pays
for what he uses. At so much per
faucet one user with one faucet
might use more than the one
with ten, while the one faucet
user pays $500 per year, the ten
faucet man pays $4,000 and may
use only one tenth of the water
the user with many faucets con-
sumes. The injustice of the pre-
sent system has long been appa-
rent. Commissioner Charles A.
Riviere tells us that the tank has
to be filled three times a day
that the amount of water con-
sumed still increases. Some one
is evidently wasting water. 1t is
appreciated that the world of
automobiles in town and reach
ing town daily take a quantity.
When the plant was installed
twice a week the tank was filled,
then it was increased to three
times week, then daily and now
it is three times daily.
