SUBSIDY TO CAUSE INCREASE IN RENT
A prominent real estate owner who rents small houses today said he fwould not pay taxes on his property
(incurred if the citizens of the town
ship vote the $100,000 subsidy to the
(Richmond-Hamilton Traction company, Ibut that the increase will be thrown Jfcack on the renters. "I believe it is generally the feeling flf nion In m v tmaitinn that tha writ-
ling of a subsidy will mean rent in
creases of eight to fifteen per cent on the first of the year to make up the additional tax which a subsidy would
cause," he explained.
"We cannot afford, with the small
profits In houses, to stand more taxes, fit will be necessary for us to throw fchat cost back on the renters in in-
reases of fifty cents to $2 a month.
iThen the Increases are made they will
ot be decreased at the end of two ears. This affords too good an ex-
use to raise rents."
' A number of property owners expressed the same opinion, declaring that it will be the poor people who in-, feirectly pay the subsidy.

Realities in the Reel World A FEW ODD HAPPENINGS ABOUT THE MOVING PICTURE PEOPLE.
WELL-BEHAVED convicts In the State prison at Deer Lodge, Mont, are regaled with a ' "movie" show every week. For any minor Infraction of the prison rules r a convict Is fined "two picture , chows," and the Governor affirms that discipline has Improved immensely since the apparatus was . Installed. - The convicts will suffer any punishment rather than miss their picture show. An operator Just returned to Lon- ; don from a fourteen months' trip to ! Canada and Jamaica has had a store of adventure sufficient to last any ordinary man a lifetime. He has been shipwrecked, nearly frozen to death fin the Canadian Rockies, and lost in the foretit. But this Isn't all. "During my five months' stay In Jamaica," he says. "I managed to aet , malarial fever and was very badlv tung by a six-'nch scorpion " ChaUIn about how critical the nlo ture public is becoming, a well-known actress recently said: "i remember . scene in which one of the characters had dld and was stretched out on a . couch, while, as her grieving daue-h . ter, wept bitterly over her body T ' was scheduled to cross her arm ' had got the left one in place all rih t when the corpse, becoming rat hi-

cept the twenty-nine intermediates, for which no charge was made, and the board of works contends that the water works company has no . right
now to charge rentals for sucn class of hydrants and it will carry the mat-
l ter before the commission for interpre
tation. The company officials assert that the commission's order provides a yearly rental of $55 for all kinds of hydrants,, but the order is not so interpreted by the board. "This water bill conclusively proves to me that there has been an extravagant waste of water on the part of the city for years, and I am confident that within a short time we will be able to reduce our water expenses one-third," said President Bavis of the board. The city's September water bill shows the average daily consumption of water for the sewer flushing tanks totaled 172,018 gallons, which is excessive. Those tanks are supposed to flush twice every twenty-four hours
but undoubtedly some of them are
flushing from three to six times every twenty-four hours. The board has decided to have every flusher Inspected for the purpose of regulating the automatic flushing valves and when this work is completed it Is anticipated that the daily consumption of water for this purpose can be reduced 30,000 or 40,000 gallons. From the figures the board has it is estimated that one of these tanks is using about 15,000 gallons of water a year while another one, of the same capacity and fed by the same sized pipe, is consuming over 400,000 gallons a year. Last month the city's twenty-three
drinking fountains consumed 34,117 gallons. A great amount of water used for this purpose is wasted. One fountain consumed water to the amount of $1.57 last month, while another fountain of the same capacity consumed water to the amount of $$.36. All these fountains will be so regulated that they will use no more water than is actually needed. The city's itemized water bill for September follows: Street flusher, $42.33: parks, $30.76; crematory,
$3.60; hose houses and city building. $16.55; fountains, $96.08; flushing tanks, $475.15.

WANTS AN AIRSHIP
TO ASSIST CAUSE
'
Miss Julia Lathrop, the Vassar graduate, who was head of the child wel
fare bureau under President Taft, now wishes she had an airship to help distribute literature in the interest of the woman suffrage cause. Miss Lathrop is one of the suffragists now making
an automobile tour through New York state giving lectures and distributing
literature. She believes that an air
ship would be just the thing with which to scatter the yellow literature
about the countryside.

ROBBINS IN ACCORD WITH POWER USERS
"The committee of electric power consumers which has been appointed for the purpose of investigating the local situation and to bring pressure to bear on the public service commission for a further reduction in local power rates will have the hearty cooperation of the -city officials," said Mayor Robbins today. "The city plant can afford to reduce its power rates at this time an average of ten per cent, and the city attorney two months ago petitioned the state commission for such a reduction," continued the mayor. "But if this reduction is authorized the city will not make another effort toward rate redductions until the cost of installing the new street lighting system has been cared for, and provision has been made for the expense of installing a new unit."
