VOTI BET WITH WATER BC
HEAU A,M LA1TEB IS
JUDGE.
If you become certain that your
water, meter is working too fast
yon can romplaln to the water
bureau. The trouble may be due
to some defect in construction or
installation of the meter. The
water bureau refuses to test your
meter unless you agree before
hand that you will pay the test
charges if the meter is in good
working order. In other words,
you bet the water bureau that
the meter is defective. The bu
reau takes the bet and acta as
the Judge. This is one of the lit
tlo troubles meter users have.
There are many others.
Who will be called upon to pay the
f352.000 for the Initial Installation of
43.000 meters and the subsequent an
nual installation of 3000 on new serv
ices at a cost of $25,000 a. year?
Who will pay the annual repair bill
on this army of meters? Who will pay
the 16 additional men who will have
to be used to read them? Who will
ray the bill for the renewal of all
these meters when they wear out and
have to be. replaced 15 years hence?
It will be none other than the man
who uses the water. . He will settle
for every cent of the cost along with
his usual bill for the water used.
r ' Only Water l"en Moat Pay.
The money is not going to spring
from some mystical source and is not
going to be donated by any person,
firm or corporation. Every water-user
in Portland is going to pay the full
price for the purchase and installa
tion of his meter and for its repair,
maintenance and reading.
Proponents of the meter scheme say
It is false to say that the water users
will have to pay for their meters. Who
then is there left to pay the cost?
Every cent of the expense which is
branded by two members of the City
Council (Mayor Albee and Commissioner
Xieck) as an unnecessary extravag
ance, will be put up by the water user.
There la no other place from which
It can come.
The meter makers, who, by the way,
are all in the East, are not going to
donate any meters to the city. They
are going to exact all the way from
$5. SO to $8.40 for each one of the 43,000
. meters.
Workmen are not going to donate
their services in Installing the meters.
The average cost of the last meters
Installed in Portland was $2.40 each.
The big water users will pay only
their proportion. The email water user
will not be relieved of any part of
h'.s burden. The cost of the meter
eyptem will be placed in the column
with other operating costs and upon
tVie total the rates will be fixed. If
it takes $352,000 at the outset to In
stall meters, that amount will be added
to the operation charges. It will add
to the rates and thus will axld. to the
monthly water bill.
Large Services Arc Metered.
r The large users of water are now
r metered. Meters are on all such serv
; ices as laundries, hotels, rooming
i. houses, factories, apartment-houses,
large residences and other large con
sumers of water.
' Under rates as they are now, all
users pay for what they use. If a house
is large and has many taps the rate is
'. greater than for a small house. The
charge is fixed on the number of taps.
The minimum rate ts 50 cents a month
-i'lier with or without a meter. The
' , charge increases on the basis of the
' number of taps and therefore, natural
ly, the approximate amount of water
used.
' The water rate basis is caultable.
y Where is the need of hooking the big
extravagance of a. meter system onto
the bill of the water user merely to
atisiy a wnim or commissioner Daly,
(Garbage Plan One of Failures.
Mr. Daly has been wrong on many
things before. He became almost
indignant because people said his Dlan
to fill the city's gulches will garbage
would be impracticable. He went ahead
at considerable expense and it was
barely a month before he nearly ruined
South Portland with the stench from
the garbage heaps. Mr. Daly insisted
beforehand that the plan was the right
one.
Mr. Daly tried to make a minimum
wage measure work. He contended that
ii was ior ine uenent or the workmen
or the city. The measure went through
and instead of helping American labor
ers it turned the city's sewer work all
over to Syrians, Italians and Russians,
all unable to speak English.

The silence following the roar of
artillery after a hot engagement is
more terrible than the noise of the
cannonading itself, according to C. H.
Mortimer, a former Portland man, now
lieutenant in a battery of Royal Field
artillery. In a letter Just received by
C. S. Greaves, of the Imperial Hotel,
Lieutenant Mortimer describes part of
the action when the British forces
captured Hill 60.
"Five batteries. Including my own,"
says the letter, "were bunched together.
and all firing. After the first few
minutes I can't say I remember any
thing very much except the roar of
the guns all around me, and how long
the action actually lasted I can't say.
I know that my battery alone fired 600
rounds.
"About 3 A. M. the firing grew less
and less, and then suddenly stopped.
The silence in contrast to the terrific
noise of the guns was simply awful.
Fellows were talking in whispers no
one knows why. Suddenly it recom
menced on our right. The infantry now
took it up. and all of the batteries
joined in the chorus. By this time

Inch guns, and our position was near
Ypres.
"That gas is awful. You've no con
ception what a terrible thing it is until
you see it for yourself. I've seen scores
of men laid out gasping like fish out
of water, being strangled to death, and
the most distressing thing is that they
arc fully conscious all the while."
Mr. Mortimer was emDloved hv th

ists led by A. M. Grilley, physical di
rector of the i. M. C. A. The party re

Thirteen hikers left the association
Friday for a few days at Government
Camp and at the summit. The snow
was soft as the climbers left Govern
inent Camp, but later was frozen sud
denly to ice by a cold wind that came
down after camp had been left some
distance behind.
Steps were slowly chopped in the ice
from Crater Rock to the summit and
the party Anally reached the top at 6:30
o'clock after a steady climb since 1
o'clock. Fog frequently shut out all

AUTOS FOR PARADE NEEDED
Infirm Grand Army Men to Take
Part in Rose Festival Pageant.
An interesting feature of the big Fri
day daylight parade of the Rose Fes
tival will be the appearance of the
members of the Grand Army, many of
whom are now too old and Infirm to
travel on foot, which will necessitate
the using of automobiles for their bene
rit. For this reason a call has gone
out for all interested in the suc
cess of the Festival, and especially in
the welfare of the old soldiers, to as
sist by offering the use of their autos
for this purpose.
About 75 autos will be needed In all,
and they surely could not be put to
any more loyal service than to help In
this way. If you have a machine you
will be willing to drive in the Friday

ST. JOHNS IS ACTIVE
Citizens Are Pushing Annexa
tion Campaign.
PEOPLE URGED TO VOTE
Indifference Considered ureaiciM.
Danger to Annexation Cause.
Mr. Adams Is Active New
- Club Boosts Mr. Baker.
-Residents of St. Johns and the va
rious civic organizations of Portland
are conducting an active campaign to
induce citizens of Tortland to vote "yea"'
on the question of annexing St. Johns
t the forthcoming municipal election.
It will be pointed out that unless a
majority or an ine perauna ..
the coming election vote favorably on
this issue, the proposed consolidation
of the two cities will be defeated.
Th sentiment of Portland persons
seems to be overwhelmingly in favor
of the merger, hut Decauso it is so
overwhelming many persons think
it unnecessary even to vote on the
question.
That disposition not to vote, it is de
clared, presents the greatest danger to
the consolidation programme.
Under terms of tho law passed at
the recent Legislature a majority of
all the electors voting at the election
must vote favorably on annexation if
the annexation Is to be authorized.
That means that i. 60,000 votes are
cast for city commissioner, at least
20,001 must vbte for annexation. But
if 60,000 votes are cast for commis
sioner and only 2.999 persons vote
on the annexation question, and all
of them vote "yes" the annexation win
be lost.
At a series of meetings to be held
this week the Importance of voting
"yes" will be Impressed upon the vot
ers. The law provides that the annex
ation issue must be presented to the
voters on separate ballots. The judges
and clerks of the several election
boards will be instructed by the city
officials to provide each voter with
an annexation ballot.
Portland voters will be asked at this
election to pass on the annexation of
two suburbs Linnton and St. Johns.
Of these, St. Johns is by far the larger
and more important, although an active
campaign is being made for Linnton
also.
The people, of both suburbs already
have authorized the annexation, pro
viding it is acted on favorably by the
people of Portland.
The Chamber of Commerce has in
dorsed both plans. It is pointed out
that for all practical purposes St.
Johns now Ms a part of Portland and
that It will be only a short time until
Linnton will be similarly situated.
Annex ition is f uccordance with the
programme for a. srreater Portland, it
is urged, and will be beneficial not
only to the people of the affected sub
urbs but to the people of Portland
as well.
C. A. Bigelow, Commissioner of
Finance and a candidate for re-election,

Charles V. Cooper, candidate for City
Commissioner, in reply to the assertion
that he worked against woman suf
frage nine years ago, said yesterday:
"A man who cannot or will not change
his opinions with the progress of time
is dangerous. The fact that some
thousands changed their minds with me
on the question of suffrage is evidenced
in the fact that a majority of men came
to see the issue as a benefit and not as
a detriment. There were thousands of
good women in 1906 who conscientious
ly believed tho vote for women to be
against the best interests of the state.
Many of these same women are today
the strongest supporters of the strug
gle for enfranchisement. I did vote
for the suffrage amendment."
