A STBOXG ARGDMEKT FOR METERS. The Citj of Boston, With Four Times the dumber of Consumers, SEEDS LESS WATER THAN PITTSBURG The report of George H. Browne, super intendent of the Bureau of "Water Supply and Distribution, for 1889, has been sub mitted to the Chief of the Department of Public Works. It contains some very in teresting information concerning the city's waterworks and pertinent advice from the superintendent relative to the waste of water by citizens. The report begins by calling attention to the necessity of liberal appropriations each year, and for an argument therefor shows that during 1885 the estimated revenue from the Water Bureau from all sources was 440,422, while that of 1890 is 5o82,423. Chiet Browne continues: To keep pace with the demand due to the present growth or the city, the appropriation for pipe extension must be increased: tlie water mains must be increased in order to pro vide R steady and unremitting supply both for domestic purposes and tire protection. The money used for these objects must not. how ever, be considered an expense, bat as well Invested capital, producing better and surer returns than could be derived from any other investment, as a careful compan-on ot ue tailcd expenses of this bureau with that of the returns of the Bureau of Water As-essments will thoroughly demonstrate. It is to be hoped, however that in making the appropriations for 1890. no parsimonious "penny- wise- and ponnd foolish" policy will be pursued, but that the entire amount asked for 320,450 will be clieerJnlly granted, as a matter of sound busi ness policy. GROUNDS TOE COMPLAINT. The well-grounded complaints coming from the Sixth, Fourteenth 3ndTwenty-tbIrd wards, from yearto sear, are well knon. This is a matter in which not only the Councilman from these wards, but the members. Individually and collectively, should be interested. The object of the present 30-inch line laid from the reser voir to Roup street is to remedy the evil com plained of, but in order to do so it is abso lutely essential that it should be continued in sections of 24 inches and 20 inches to Smith Held street. Under the head of the Brilliant Pumping Station, Superintendent Browne calls atten tion to Ko. 3 engine. Nos. 1, 2 and 4 were provided with new valve chambers and foundation plates in 1883, and are to-day as good as ever. In 1882 No. 3 was fitted up with new valve chambers, but the old foundation plate was not removed. This needs attention at once, as the chambers have been working loose, and by the con tinual motion have finally cracked. Xo. 3 should be repaired as the other engines were. Mr. Browne urges that 5,000 by set aside for fitting up a machine shop. In his bureau there is a creat deal of repair work that cannot be economically handled by the presenfsvstem. The other bureaus of the Department ot Public Works have an in creasing amount ot this kind of work, and he suggests that a shop be established for the entire department. Another snggestion is that incandescent lights be used in the engine rooms and boiler house. The old Brush arc light ma chine has outlived its usefulness, but the engine is still good and could run the other system. IX The superintendent recommends, also.tbat a residence be built for the chief engineer of the pumping station, as bis presence is oftou required in times ot emergency. IN VERY BAD SHAPE. The gates at the effluent and influent chambers of the Highland reservoir 3re in such condition that if it were necessary to shut off either compartment the rates could not be operated. In their construction the iuture was not looked to, and this is the cause for this condition of affairs. These gates must be replaced, but it will be both difficult and expensive to do so and keep an uninterrupted supplv of water. At the Herron Hill pumping station Sup erintendent Browne first recommends that a fence be constructed, to inclose the grounds. A number of repairs are needed in and about the building. He recommends some changes in the Craig street and other lines that will give better service east of that Etreet and south of Fifth avenue. On the waste water question Superintend ent Browne unburdens himself. He says: One prolific source of waste water is due to improper plumbing. Xo attention is paid to the best points to locate service pipes in order to prevent freezing, the only point usually con sidered being the most economical location or which point of entrance will ensure the use of the smallest amount of pipe and fittings. The general result of such work is that during the winter water is allow ed to run off and waste, in order to prevent freezing. To such an ex tent is this abuse carried, that during the winter months the amount of water consumed is frequently as great, and often in excess, of the amount used in summer, when the lawn and street sprinkling abu-e is at the zenith. There are only two ways to accomplish saving, viz: A house-to-house inspection, or the use of meters. The latter meets with my unqnalfied approval, both for the sake of eeouomy and re liability. THE INFLUENCE OF EXAMPLE. The indiscriminate use of water by the Bureau of Highways and Sewers has educated the people Generally to believe that the supply of water is inexhaustible. Acting presumably under this belief, lawn sprinklers are started in operation early in summer, and continue al most without interruption, day and night, nntil the temperature gives unmistakable evidence that autumn has well advanced. The pave wash also starts, and in spite of protests and prosecutions, tbrows an almost continuous btream throughout the season. Street hydrants are turned on, but it seems to be no one's duty to shut them off. Buggies, wheelbarrow-, and other vehicles are often wasbpd at the fire hydrants. The fau cets in livery stables and other establish ments are allowed to run continuously in sum mer to insure cool water, and in inter to pre vent freezing. Can it, therefore, be a matter of surprise that our consumption is many times greater than the majority of cities throughout the worldt Or, that owing to our peculiar typography. It is found difficult to afford a uniform or equitable distribution? The ques tion would naturally arise. "Why not stop this wholesale waste ot water?" It is simply answered by saying that the law is inadequate, and what laws do exist are apparently over looked. Superintendent Browne quotes the ordi nance of March 11, 1872, imposing a fine for wasting water and making it the duty of the public officer onvthe beat to bring the infor mation. He says that if this ordinance was enforced it would save his bureau much money and time. Without neglecting their other duties the patrolmen could give him valuable assistance by giving warning to offenders who waste water and notifying the bureau ironi the nearest patrol box. " SHOULD BE EESTKICTED. Mr. Browne holds that the use of pave washes should be restricted to certain hours and to the premises paying for them. "Where other premises adjoining are given the benefit they should be assessed. The size of nozzles should be fixed and the assess ments levied accordingly. But. above all, meters should be introduced. In Hoboken, X. J., in 1882, the population was 33,000; the number o service pipes was 2,700, and the average number of gallons per service 1,455. In 1888 the population was 75,000; service pipes, 5,600, and the average reduced to 769 gallons by the introduction of meters. The customers had increased 107 per cent and the amount of water consumed but CJ per cent. Atlanta, Ga., reduced the amount pumped in three years two-thirds, Boston, with a population of 475,000, consumes about 38,700,000 gallons daily. Pittsburg, with probablyabout one-fourth that number of consumers, used, during September, 39, 300,000 gallons daily. The capacity of the Pittsburg engines is from 40,000.000 to 50,000,000 gallons per day, continuous work, leaving no time for packing, etc Allowing for natural stop pages, the estimate is about 45,000,000 gal lons per day. Thus the city is in a position where it can only suddIv 5.700.000 gallons daily in excess of the demands during Sep- I tember, 18S9. In September, 1888, the av erage daily consumption was 32,513,000 gallons, showing an increase in one year of 6.787,000 gallons. In this proportion, Sep tember, 1890, the full limit of supply would be reached. The Superintendent recom mends that an inspector, who shall be a plumber, be appointed to snrpervise plumb ing, with a view to saving water, but not intrenching on the duties of the sanitary inspector. TOO DEEP FOB CONVENIENCE. The old water pipes in the principal streets have been graduailv replaced, except on Duquesne way to the Point and on Water street from the Point to Penn avenue. Part of these pipes are at least 20 feet below the suriace, making repairs, when breaks occur, troublesome and expensive. As the pipe is on hand, it is recommended that these lines be replaced. . . In regard to expenses, the Superintendent says: The running expenses at tho different pump ing stations along during the year lS82.viere S1G7.113 09. Since that time many additions have been made which would apparently occa sion an increased annual expense, but it It be asumedthat by the exercise of economy the work might have been carried on without any additional outlay then during the seven years the total costwould haie been 51,1 1 0,003 i Let us compare this with the actual running dviiaiisps ilnrinir the same number of years: expenses during the same number of y Expense or pumping stations. 1SS3... hpeneof pumping stations. 1SS1...

The above statement should pi ove highly sat isfactory to all interested in the Bureau of Water, and. in fact, to all taxpayers. There are few, if any, institutions that can point to such a healthy growth during seven years a decrease of 51 per cent in running expenses and an increase in revenue of Go per cent; 1SSS and 1SS9 show an increased expense over 1887, but that is due to the fact that the gas used at the pumping stations during 1SS7 cost 30,000, whereas during 1SS9 the cost amounted to $53,000. A table included in the report shows how very much cheaper to pump water with the big engines at Brilliant Station than it is to the other reservoirs, and also that thesmaller the pumps the greater the cost.

At the Brilliant station works, to do the work credited above, the piston traveled during the year 48,151 miles, almost twice the distance around the world. The number of revolutions of the fly-wheel was 9,079,901. During the year 67,675 feet of pipe were laid, and 1,465 house connections and 95 fire plug connections were made. There are now 192 miles of water pipe, from 4 inches to 30 inches in diameter, iu the city. HER LAST WISHES RESPECTED. Mrs. Elizabeth Thomas Buried With No Re. Ilgloua Ceremonies. Testerday afternoon Mrs. Elizabeth Thomas was buried by the Pittsburg Secu lar Society from 182 "Washington avenue, Allegheny, the residence of her son, Richard Thomas. The funeral services were private, only the relatives, near friends and members of the society being present. Mr. Harry Hoover made the principal address. He spoke of the beauties of Mrs. Thomas' life, and of her earnest work for the welfare of the Secular Society. Mr. It. Staley also spoke briefly. During the services the carriages and hearse stood on a side street, Mrs. Thomas having requested that they be kept away from the house nntil after the ceremonies. The funeral was conducted entirely in ac cordance with the directions given by her belore her death. She was one of the original members of the society, and had been active in promoting its work for many years. When her husband died, four years ago, he was buried by the society, and she wished the same to be done with her remains. Mrs. Thomas was 78 years of age.

No Necessity Now for the Sheriff's Flag Over Library Hall. NEW SETTLEMENT OP ITS AFFAIRS. A Consolidated Mortgage Secured to Cover ill Indebtedness. HOW THE MATTER WAS PR0TIDED FOR Library Hall will not be sold. The sale of the property, which was set for to-day, has been staved off, and the company will continue to do business at the old place. This good news will be welcome to the friends of the Mercantile Library, a great many ot whom thought the latter would be driven ont of the building and left without a home. The Board of Directors of the Library Hall Company have negotiated a new con solidated mortgage loan on the property, by which they will be enabled to meet all the present claims against them. This arrangement was consummated on Saturday by the payment of the amounts taken of the new loan to the Union Transfer and Trust Company and the taking up by the trust company of the judgments on which foreclosure was ordered. It will be remembered that the old debt was S199.000, consisting of a purchase money mortgace of 530,000, a second mortgage of 5100,000, held by the West Penn Hospital, and a third mortgage of 569,000, which included the ac crued interest and costs of judgment, on which the property was in the hands of the Sheriff. nOT AFFAIRS STAND. In refunding the purchase money, the mortgage of $30,000 is left -as it is, in order to keep it in the form of a comparative short time loan. On the third mortgace the Library Hall Company paid 519,000, reduc ing the third mortgage judgment to 550,000. This latter mortgage was consolidated with the old second mortgage into a new mort gage loan of 20 years, with interest at the rate of 5 per cent. The West Penn Hos pital converted its old mortgage of 5100,000 into this consolidated mortgage, and of the remaining 550.000 the Western Universitv took 520,000, D. Lee Wilson 510.000, the Union Transfer and Trust Comp-inv S15.000, and the Librarv Association 55,000. O the latter amount 53,000 was an investment of its own out ot the Thaw bequest, and the re maining 52,000 was ont of the subscriptian raised last fall. Altogether, 519,000 had been sub.cribed by friends of the institu tion, and it was not necessary to call on the subscribers for the remaining 517,000. The total debt of the Library Hall Com pany is now but 5180,000, having been re duced 519,000 by the transaction. By the terms ot the mortgage consolidation the Li brary Hall Company agrees to put the sur plus revenues into a sinking fund for the reduction of the debt, until it is reduced to a total of 5150,000. THE MONEY PAID OVER. The Union Transfer and Trust Company is trustee of the consolidated mortgage, and the money was banded over on Saturday. The company took up the judgment, which has been in the hands of the Sheriff since last August. This precludes all possibility of the property now going under the ham mer. Under the charter, when the property has paid the stockholders the amount of their 'original investment, the hall becomes the property of the library. In the meantime, a large number of stockholders have signified a willingness to give their stock to the li brary. The amount of stock given out to date is 800 shares, worth 58,000 par value. A number of the stockholders said they would give their stock when the refunding scheme closed up the breach. The library expects- to get this now, and hopes to get a considerable interest In the meantime the library will go on as it is. It will be improved uutil the Carnegie Library is built Whatever value or income is realized out cf its interest in the building will be applied to some public purpose akin to the library or the enlargement of the Car negie institution. The members of the library are highly gratified at the result of the meeting. HONOE TO "WHOM DUE. One of the directors said in connection with the matter, that an exceedingly grati fying feature of tne settlement was the fact that the old friends of the library, who Had seemed by previous circumstances to be put in an unfriendly attitude to the institution, have given efficient aid iu securing the set tlement. "1 wish to say," said this gentleman, "that while previous complications havs led to a feeling which produced sharp criti cisms, the library recognizes the aid that has been given it from gentlemen whose course appeared at the start to be inimical. Everyone concedes that Mr. Brunot, the father and founder of Library Hall, has shown great forbearance iu permitting his loan to stand so long without any interest, and in twice permitting the sale to be ad journed. It is one of the gratifying features" of the settlement that after this long forbear ance Mr. Brunot is repaid with interest, and the entire obligations of the hall company are placed on the basis of a sound invest ment ALSO A TRUE FRIEND. "It is also the fact that Mr. Charles J. Clarke, whose original attitude in the mat ter was the subject of criticism, gave efficient aid to the relunding scheme. The library directors feel that the success of the effort to refund the debt, is largely due to Mr. Clarke's aid and influence. Other promi nent gentlemen also aided the negotiation, but as Mr. Clarke's position has been the subject of misconstruction it is no more than justice to publicly recognize that his influ ence secured the last adjournment of the sale and largely aided the negotiation of the consolidated mortgage. For this aid the thanks of the library are as mnch due to Mr. Clarke as for bis long services as presi dent of the Librarv Hall Compauy in sus taining the company when the revenues of the building were inadequate."
