ell would have been within its
authority to so order and enforce
it. But it does not end there; it
is revolutionary in scope, and in
purport, it destroys all former
rules, regulations, customs, etc,
antecedently privileged to the cit
liens in the use of water; /; calls
for a large expenditure of new
investment capital and, in the
aggregate so swells the revenue
from its rentals, as to make the
water plant retroactive of its pTi-
mary purposes, giving undue
prominence and station to its in
cidental functions; thus, pervert-
ing its initial grants and prosti-
tuting its status to commercial
private gain. Consequently such

The impractical characteristics
of the water meter as an economic
device for checking water waste
or otherwise, affixed to the city

apply the basic law to some of the
major features of the water meter

which of the two bodies-the Cit
liens themselves, or the City
Council should legislate upon
them.
The sovereign law of the State

seem that it had escaped its en-
vironment-and for the city water
plant, screamed aloud its uneco-
nomic impracticability. Why waste
time, money, energy and invective
upon it?
Nevertheless the water plant
should be policed and policed rig
edly, and this can be accomplish
ed effectively in only one way if
leaky fixtures are to be remedied,
and approximately they are the
one cause Of water waste. They
can be corrected and stopped only
by the human brain and hand.
The remedy: Appoint a munich
pal inspector to "Check waste and
conserve water" one that can and
will stop leaks. Provide and in
sure an inspection that will admit
of no half way measures at all.
The inspector should be of plumb
er's skill; pay him a salary large
enough per year to make it NUT
ual business proposition of value
and proportions twelve months in
the year; put him on the water
taker circuit day in and day out in
a systematic routine and repeat;
have him stop leaky fixtures on
the spot at time of discovery;
equip him with supplies and ma
terials to accomplish it; charge
against the service rendered for
his labor and materials; tax the
water takers yerly inspection
charge of $1.00 per taker; this
charge with the service charge
should pay the inspectors salary
and make the inspection self sup
porting. Limit the character of
the inspectors service to leaky fix
lures only; this will stay any con-
siderable encroachment upon the
private business of citizen plumb
ers. Only by some such systema-
tic method as portrayed can leaky
fixtures be effective stopped; no
automatic mechanical device can
arrest them.
The mayor is of the irrevocable
persuasion that a duplicate reser-
voir should be constructed without
undue delay adjacent to the pre-
sent one as a precautionary re-
serve measure. and to afford means
of cleansing purposes as occasion
may warrant. The present basin
basin has been in use more than
rs years, it might be in need of
repairs. Twin reservoirs can be
easily provided for, interconnect-
ing, with Independent outlets and
a gateway between the two. This
would admit of betterment work
on either one as needed, and the
additional storage reserve would
be no disadvantage. The Mayor
is informed that this very matter
has been urgently advocated be-
fore-and fluently. But talk is
cheap and endless and evaporates
in the atmosphere unless some
thing is accomplished. This is 4
very important and needed better
ment. Let us effectively plan to
do something about it not later
than another season at the most.
In view of the foregoing pre-
misses the Mayor recommends that
the water meter enforcement act
be revoked nv the present Council
taking effect as of November
1st. 192.t-and that proper refunds
be made That the former water
rates and regulations be reeStab-
lished. That an effective policin"
insnection service be inauguratod
that will stop fixture leaks on the
conSumntion line. And that the
matter Of construction duplicate
reservoir be rlanned and provided
for at an carly date.
