What happened in the 1900 block OF
Sixth street yesterday was all very con-
fusing. No wonder the two bewildered
airedales lost their heads. !,
The back yard seemed fun OF coloreo
people running by. In the general ex.
element the airedales began to tug at
their leash and zip.
It was not the best moment for the
leash to part, but part it did. Where
upon the dogs forgot they ought to be
guarding. the backdoor entrance ana
commenced to guard the backdoor exit.
There was q difference, according to
Sergt. Letterman Of the liquor squad.
He said the same back door which the
dogs held against the entry of prohibi-
ton prowiers was giving exit TO guests
OF the place.

Whether the reductions in the Water
DEPARTMENTS estimates for meters were
made by the Commissioners in pre-
pairing the annual budget or by the
Budget Bureau, could not be learned.
It is known, however, that the Commits
sioners made the cuts IN several in
stances.
Requests for increased appropriations
for meters were not made in 1880 and
1881, it was said, due to the failure to
obtain larger funds after six repeated
efforts and an apparent adverse attitude
in Congress against the extension OF
the water meter service. This was strtk-
ingly indicated in hearings on the 1929
and 1880 appropriation bills.
Garland Questioned.
Discussing the item in the 1929 ap-
preparation bill for water meters, j. S.
Garland was questioned at length on
the water meter service and explained
that the department then was between
~ and Is per cent behind in putting
meters in all private services.
Representative Griffin asked him Is
there any advantage to the District
in the way of income from the 1nStalla-
ton of the meters in private homes and
Mr.. Garland replied:
"No. sir; I think there is only one
way that 1t benefits the District and
that is in the way of detection of leaks
etc. We really do not get as much for
the meter rates as we would under a
fiat rate"
"The reason asked that question "
MFR. Griffin said, "is that, in my opin-
ion. the installation of meters in prl-
vate houses is not at all desirable
thing. 1t necessitates having pay roll
for examiners, who go around and read
the meters, and it possibly calls for re-
pairs, because they are likely to get out
of order. And then there is the very
reason which you mentioned yourself.
