and Gives Some of His Experiences Editor Tribune I sec my friend Mr James K Bluiw comes at mo on the water wa-ter motor question so I will ask you for a little space In your valuable paper again Mr Shaw Is a Rood friend of mine a nlco gentleman and a good citizen citi-zen bul he Is I dead wronp on the meter question PO I am anxious to put him strulRht on the plan of chirgliiK people only for what water they got Mr Shaw lay great emphasis on the cost of the motor or rather what It might cost fhciv Is no good reason why time comet should be more than the prices now he hur charged und If Mr 1 linen Is making tho cost moro then It Is only a question that the city should look after and If Mr limes Is making too great an oX pciiBe then put some ole at It who will HOC that the cost IR what It should bo J dont doubt but thcrr will be cases that wiii cost more than they should but S por gent of time meters will be nut In basements base-ments or cellars where It will require no box only the connection and the saving on these should make good the extra co ton t-on those that uri put In cement boxes Mi Shaw appears to lw 1 afraid that his tenants t will waslo water and cause him exptns mil says the tenant who ill wnsto water for the city will waste It for tho landlord 1 That Is rime and what Is going on now but Is It right that the city should stand the expense of this waste Now I believe the parsons who wanto or ore careless with tho water are Limp exception The musses of the people arc trying to do the right thing but you tow ono hydrant or tap leaking conilnu oils ly will use more water tun twenty families who arc careful Jf every om would USD It US I think Mr Shaw would we would need no meters but Is this true I think not We have a law on our statutes forbidding stealing murder and other crimes his law was not made for 11r Shaw but ho comes under It nhd In CUBe he should vlolalo It would b subject sub-ject to Us penalty and Mr Shaw Is taxed to cnforc that law Ho tlopn not suy Repeal II Re-peal Il the old mob rule Is bMicr I appears to mo that wo will have to home h-ome law or system to govern the few In tho use of our wntcr AN EXPERIENCE Let me give you a small chapter In my experience with the water motor When I received my July bill for water on August Au-gust 1st 1 noticed It was for 31 1 when It t should have been for 1 or less I immediately Im-mediately wont to tho property and found it hose through my back fence connected to my hydrant t T asked the tenant about II nnd was told that time paving company was using It 1 found the superintendent and nskcd what It meoni Ho asked me to let him misc It as he had to have water promising to pay for It 1 permitted It to remain and mv bill for July and August VHS SO anr I paid pair the city tho amount and the paving com pang pild mo r Now If I that had been Mr Shaws hydrant the city would havo r less In Its treasury than t It lino al though It furnished the 1 vater Again I was talking with a gentleman the other day about water l tri nnd ho remarked that ho wished there was I meter attached to the lerrieo hi > llvod In I ankid why He 1 t euld I think every tap In the lorraro

assertion that ho IB I not In sympathy with lie I motor but he needs one Now theno are the people leopo wo arC after I am told we hut better take the 100000 the meters will com and buy more water l am
