THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND JSUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., TUESDAY, JUNE-8, 1920.

WATER CO. LOCATES LEAKS WHICH WASTE 748,000 GAL DAILY Do you "know mat a complete survey -was made of Richmond In the past seven weeks and most of it "was done t night? Perhaps you zarw a email "blue shelter box that stood on the rtreets in different parts of the city. That ras to cover the Instrument that recorded the flow in the water mains. Some time ago the -water company ; "believed that all the -water pumped -as not being used and -was being wasted through leaking house fixtures, service pipes and mains. As a result of the resulting survey, 748,000 gallons of -water a day Is being saved to Richmond. The company contracted -with The Pltometer company of New York, to locate these leaks, and Its representative, Mr. J- S. "vVetherald, has Just completed tie work. How was it done? Meters -will register fixture leaks, as some consumers have learned py experience, but about 25 per cent of the services are not metered. Then leaks In underground service pipes and mains are not registered by meters. An instrument called a Pi tot tube, consisting of two small glass tubes connected at one end, -with the open ends cent in opposite directions, was placed In service. A city is divided into districts, and the valves supplying a district are turned off, except one valve through which passes all the consumption. At this point an Inch tap is made in the main and a brass valve inserted, and In this opening is Inverted the Pilot tube. As the water flows in the main there is a slight difference of velocity as It passes the upstrean and downstream tubes. Recorded by Colored Liquid. This difference Is recorded by the use of a colored liquid in the tubes, the levels In the two tubes being different in proportion to the flow in the main. If the flow at night la excessive the 'district Is subdivided until it is found In which main the leak is occurring. Inspection is then made of all house fixtures, and services supplied thru this main. It Is surprising how accurately these leaks can be located. Although there was no evidence on the surface, leaks were located underground amounting to 253,000 gallons a day. One leak was found in a sixInch main on South II. street, which was wasting 129,000 gallons a day. The cast iron pipe had been cracked almost completely across by the settlement of the earth over a sewer which passed under the water main, the water running into the sewer without showing on the surface. Leaks in broken and unused services amounted to 140,000 gallons a day, while leaks in house fixtures amounted to 350,000 gallons a day. Repairs are now being made as the result of this survey, and a house to house inspection made of all fixtures which are not metered, thereby affecting a reduction of several thousand gallons. The company hopes by this means to overcome the increased cost of pumping due largely to the higher cost of coal.

A spring wheat crop of 277,000,000 bushels or 68,000,000 greater than that of last year and 18,000,000 bushels greater than the average of the last five years was forecast today by the department of agriculture, from the condition of the crop on June 1. Prospects for winter wheat improved during May to the extent of 19,000,000 bushels, making a total estimated production of 781,000,000 bushels, or 160,000,000 less than that of last year. Whitewash Passes; Days Of Its Glistening Whiteness In Every Direction Are Gone Whitewashing, made popular by Tom Sawyer, seems to have taken the same path to oblivion as the horsecar driver. True, the snowy whiteness of freshly whitewashed fences and barns is appealing to the old folks' eyes. Also several of the darker hued persons of Richmond will still whitewash the fence, barn or tree trunk. But as a whole, whitewashing is passing to "Old Black Joe." A coat of paint, according to housewives, lasts much longer than whitewash. Also the paint does not cost very much more than the same quantity of whitewash. In the days when Richmond's gutters were made of cobblestones and the sidewalks of bricks, whitewash was in its glory- It was a picturesque sight to see the gutters with a glistening coat of whitewash, the 6hade trees with their trunks whitewashed up to the first branches, and the back, front and side fences resplendent in whitewash. Today we have cement sidewalks and gutters. Landscape gardeners do not favor whitewashed trees. It spoils their natural beauty, they say. Even Bikers Have Habit I Humble Walker Mast Watch Even bicyclists have the habit! Tuesday forenoon a junior bicyclist was riding up Main street near Fifth, when a 12 year old youth started to cross the street. The two had a fatal attraction for each other, with tho result that the pedestrian was knocked down. He jumped up, spluttering harsh words, but was interrupted by this statement form the bicyclist: "Why don't ya get outta the way? You guys make me sick, always running across the street and expectin' guys on bikes to watch out for ya! I'll kill ya next time." And he pedaled off. Bolshevik's Fingers Are Pried Loose on Dvina Line (By Associated Press) WARSAW, June 8.
