Heat Wave in Europe
 Taking Big Life Toll

London. July IT LP,-Deaths from the heat wave which has spread over Europe have reached a high total and the rush of thousands to the sea, rivers and lakes has led to many scores of drownings.
 While the temperature in south- ern England dropped about 10 de- grees yesterday dispatches from the continent report a continuance of the heat and in some places an in crease in temperature. Tempera- lures of from 95 to 100 degrees were common in wide areas and in some places the thermometer was much higher.
 The Daily Mail today said that it was IA in Warsaw. A temperature of 116 was reported from Budapest and of 131 from Lake Balaton, 50 miles from Budapest. The whole Hungarian plain was sizzling.

RAISING THE WATER RATES

The more money that is invested in the water system the greater the necessity of returns. While more than | million dollars is being pour ed into the system the immediate consumption remains as it has been except for the regular annual in- crease due to greater population. But the interest on the investment and tho returns on it must be in creased and the only available method is to increase the rates. Thus speak Edward F. Hall, chair man of the board of finance and taxation. and Mayor Paoneesa. Thus also spoke William L. Hatch. former chairman of the water board.
 This looks ominous. If not menac- ing. The city would like to avoid an taerease in water rates, just like 1t wishes to avoid an increase in any lAAU8 ClGCs put II ally DO0y lido q better plan than that given by MessrA Hall and Paonessa then he is welcome to step forward with fl.
 The bonds to be issued must be paid for when due; the interest also must be paid.
 The preliminary outlay of more than a million is not to increase the water supply, but to improve it. In creased rates will be like paying more for 2 quality article. The ques- tion naturally arises. do we need the quality article in watero
 The state health department IS heard from on this point, and they refer to complaints which had been received regarding the condition of the city water at certain times. One observer says the water is getting poorer rather than better.
 Fundamentally the need for mak- ing the water filter expenditure is one of public health. The health of citizens is nothing 10 be trifled with. It is worth more than a million dol lars-worth more than many mil lions.
 But there must be a certainty that the city will achieve what lt Is aim ing to do. Better water Is worth more, but there will be d terrific howl If after the high expenditure there is nc improved water
