81 BUDGET HITS
METER PROGRAM
Grove Warns Replacement
Plans Will Be Wrecked.
II Face Dismissal.

The program Of the Engineer De-
partment of the District for replace
ment of faulty water meters will be
wrecked and II per diem employees
will lose their jobs if the 1885 budget
is enacted as passed by the House,
E. H. Grove, water registrar, declared
yesterday.
An item of s85,500 for replacement
of the meters, requested by the Dis
trict for next year beginning July l,
has been slashed to s35,5Oo. Grove
said this would mean that 1900 addi-
tional cases of ineffective meters
would be piled up, whereas the pro-
gram planned by the District provided
for making all meters operative by
1899.
ID. c. to Lose Money
II the appropriation as contained in
the 1885 budget is continued, he said,
the District will lose ground at the
rate of 300 meters year. The effect
would be that the District will lose
money since consumers are placed on
a fat rate basis when meters fail.
This benefits the average consumer to
the extent of some $3.50 year. but
causes a much greater annual loss to
the District, he explained.
A sum of but $4,000 was allowed
for meter requirements in the 1884
act. but an additional sum for this
work. amounting to S72,540 was al
lowed last September by Budget Di-
rector Lewis w. Douglas in keeping
with a provision of the appropriation
act for the present fiscal year
Grove said there were 8,742 meters
out of commission last July l. Each
year. he said. some 4.300 additional
meters become non-registering and
are disconnected This brings the
total to 1902 for the present year.
but some 1000 meters are being re-
placed under available funds. reduc-
ing the net total to 9,042 by July l.
1000 to Be Replaced.
Calculating that 4.300 additional
meters will need replacement during
the next fiscal year. while but 1000
may be replaced under the proposed
appropriation. Grove said the num-
ber still out of commission at the end
of the next fiscal year would amount
to about 9,342
If the requested S85500 sum were
approved, however, he said, the total
still needing replacement by June 30,
1885 could be reduced to 7,142. This
would indicate that 2,200 additional
meters would be placed out of COM
mission, because of the S35, 500 cut
in appropriations.
