The present Board, composed of Theodore B. Wilcox, J. C. Atnsworth and W. B. Mackay, will resign at the close of Mayor Blmon's term, June SO, and the new Board will be Installed in their place. Mr Rushlight is known to favor the meter system and it Is therefore be lieved probable that he will adopt the policy of placing them in every house. The personnel of his Water Board has not been given out as yet. but it may be later in the month, perhaps when he receives the resignations of the present members, which will be handed in prob ably after the last meeting of the pres ent term.
