Want All Water Measured by
Meters, and Refuse to Pay
Rental of Meters
Residents of the First District are
on the “water wagon." No, they have
not sworn off. just simply arrived at
the conclusion that things waterwise
are unsatisfactory. Complaints have
been lodged with the commissioners
by property holders. asking for a re-
adjustment of the rates, which are
claimed to be excessively high. as

able way of fixing the cost. The re-
quest for a fairer way of fixing the
water charges comes from the fact
that some are paying by meter, while
others have a fist yearly rate. One

There are thirty~four towns to
whose assessment lists no additions
are made this year. which is a de-

towns by revaluations have increased
their lists in 1913 to an approximate
statutory basis, and, as heretofore,
