underlying rentals, neither Of which
can possibly offset the loss which. would
follow return to conditions OF labor
and management such as were formerly
here, and do now generally continue
elsewhere.
Cleveland may be cited as an ex-
treme example where, under Tom
Johnson's regime, the valuation. of
street railway property was reduced TO
les bare bones. the service regulated by
a city representative and its pavement
maintained by the city, without ex-
pense to the company, as against the
$3.50 900 here paid annually. Service
at cost prevails and yet, starting Oc-
tober I, 1920, six cent fare with one
cent for transfer will be paid, while
more crowded and the accidents three
times as expensive as In Philadelphia.

urged that the question Of increased

the terms Of the 1907 agreement. The
company has met this suggestion BY
withdrawing its July application from

The commission stated In its report
that proposed artesian well supplies In
South Philadelphia, so far as had been
shown, furnished only small quantities
Of water. The artesian well water
they continued, was highly impregnated
with mineral matter and would be un-
suitable for domestic or Industrial pur"
poses.
Ihe experts exploded popular be-
lief that mountain water Is always pure:
Water from the distant mountains, "
the report stated, ''always appeals to
the sentiment Of the general public,
who think of It as crystal clear, as they
have seen II in the bubbling hillside
refreshing and satisfying.
''This Is seldom II ever so, and in
the present case," referring to Della
ware river tributaries above the Water
Gap, ''it Is highly idealized senh-
ment and far from the facts, although
the mountain sources have many points
Of excellence.

It is proposed that the city spend from
Sc, ,000, 900 to $4,000, 900 annually to
arrive at the completed plan and after
providing relief for present dangerous
conditions, start TO build for the future
by creating immense reserves.

Sunday may serve useful purpose in
bringing public attention to the city''
needs in this regard" said the Mayor
yesterday.
BY manipulation Of the pipe line sys .
TENS and drawing on the scanty reser :
voir supplies the city's residents were
given a supply Of water early approxi-
mating the usual quantity used. -.
The reservoirs throuhgout the city
hold less than one-day supply OF
water. Chief Davis said. discussing the
possibility Of another breakdown. In<
Schuylkill river system is distinct from
that on the Delaware, however, he as
serted, and this might to a small extent
meet the demand for absolute necessi-
ties.
1.-THE break on Sunday caused be
tween / ,O00, 900 and 1,250, 900 people
to suffer inconveniences and probabl,
hardships," said Chief Davis. 1--WE
have partly met the situation by pump
ing an increased supply through PIPE,
running parallel to that, which broke.
Every bit of water wasted in times
like this means the possibility Of seri'
Gus loss later on. With our reserve
supplies depleted we are in very bae
condition to meet with future trouble
that might develop and it behoove,
every one to economize on the us. ol
water to the greatest extent possible.
Permanent repairs to the broker
main will require ut least a month,
Chief Davis added. 1--WE don't know
how much of job it Is yet, for the pipe
is eight feet below the bed of the ,,eer
at this point and the repairs shoult
prove difficult. We have no money
with which to meet the issue"
