S17AYME IVAMTS TO KNOW WHY CITY IS DILATORY IN FIGHTING SPRINKLER METERS

S. E. S Wayne, president of the Swayne-Roblnson manufacturing company, in a letter to the board of public works, demands to know why the city has failed to act in an attempt to secure a modification of the Indiana Utility Commission's order of last August providing the Installation of meters for every fire protection order which "double taxes" all sprinkler users for fire protection and which would involve an expenditure on the part of the water works company of approximately $20,000, an Item which, of course, would become a part of the water company's valuation on which its rates are baeed. Today President Bavis of the board sent a letter to Mr. Swayne in reply. Previously President Bavis had informed Mr. Swayne that City Attorney Bond was working on a schedule of , rates covering sprinkler system charg- ' es which the city intended to ask the commission to substitute for its order of last August, adding that the effectiveness of this proposed schedule had been rendered somewhat doubtful because of the water company's ' decision to install four, inch instead of six inch meters. Bavis Takes Exception.. In his letter to Mr. Swayne today President Bavis resents the Imputation that the city has. done nothing to

ward providing relief for sprinkler ; users, has directed his inquiry to the "wrong authority," pointing out "that, j "Mr. Bobbins is still mayor of Rich- i

mond and your question should be directed to his department."

In bis letter to the board Mr. ; Swayne declares there should be no ' further delay In working out a schedule to be substituted for the commis-. slon's recent order. . lie points outj that the commission requires meters j installed for sprinkler systems, which would cause the expenditure of sev-, eral thousand dollars by the water works company "on which citizens : will have to pay an income practically : for all time to come." What the Letter Says The letter continues: "A meter is: a useless attachment on a fire protec-i tion line. It is a great hindrance. . Rather than have meters the probabll-' Hies are many manufacturers would ' install their own private fire protec-: tion system in order to get the kind of , protection the municipality should pro-1 vide, and for which the manufacturer j is taxed, and at the same time such , action would take a great deal of revenue away from the water com-, pany, which would have to be made up by the citizens. "This matter has been hanging Are since last summer and for the life of me I cannot see why such things are . permitted to go so long without reach-' ing any conclusion whatsoever. There Is nothing gained by delay and I would : be glad to be advised whether the city ; wishes to have that commission order '. modified so as to prevent this excessive expenditures for meters by the water company, and if so what steps will the city be willing to take at once to have that order eliminated?" Ask for Change Fire protection sprinkler system users are behind the Swayne-Robln-son company in its demand for, prompt action on the part of the city ' to have withdrawn the order entered

by the commission last summer, which they regard as absolutely unjust. The order provides that each company must pay a service charge of $10 a month for four-inch meters and $15 a month for six inch meters, and in the event of a fire must also pay for all water used in extinguishing the blaze as recorded by such meters, notwithstanding the fact that the city pays the water company approximately $20,000 a year lor fire protection and uses less than $2,000 worth of water each year for such purposes.

WINNER IN OVER

8000 TESTS

In seven years tlie globe hot blast heateb has been put to over 8000 severe street demonstrations all over the U. S. These demonstrations were in competition with other makes of Hot-BIasts specially constructed to burn the fuel most plentiful in each locality. The globe, manufactured by the Globe Stove & Range Co, of Kokomo, Ind, was declared the winner of every one ! The reason: Its peculiar and distinctive method of heating the entering air, which is then jetted through slots into the fire, causing it to burn from the outside inward, coking the coal ahead as it hums. This causes a continual blast of blazing gases, as the warmed outside air rushes in and mingles with the gases.

The makers guarantee the New Globe Hot Blast to burn any kind of fuel economically. Come in to our store today and see the m-ti- Vfn ric
