I COLUMBIA DISTRICT SUPREME JUDGE IS SCORED HOUS The only way to prevent waste of water by consumers is to meter the town and let everyone pay for what he uses. We are using meters again. One we had them, then removed them and afterward discovered our mistake and back they are going," declared Oso&r M. Marx, mayor of Detroit, Mich., who is known throughout the United Btates for his great fight on - the Detroit United Hallways, which resulted in him securing reduction in fares from 6 cents to seven ticket for a quarter with universal transfer privileges. Mayor Marx arrived In Portland last night from Ban Francisco, and Is registered at the Multnomah. He is accompanied by Robert Oakman, re- tired, but who was Michigan's first state tax commissioner, and Mrs. Oakman.

We now have more than 600.000 population, and although we are constantly putting 'n additional pipe lines Into the newer districts, I know that the presence of meters saves us much construction of new lines because the meters stop the waste.
