"In unmetered service connections a large amount of water is wasted from defective fixtures or by letting water run at all times during 'ie summer months in order to obtain cooler water or in winter to prevent it from freezing in the plumo ing or from other negligent causes. The statistics of our local utility show that one-third of the pumpage for last year was ehlivered through meters and approximately two-thirds of the revenue was deli ved from this sonic.

"After investigating the subject very thoroughly I can most heartily indorse the jdan, which, if followed out. will conserve our water supp.y and pressure to such an extent that the toal pumpaye will likely not be greater than it is at the present time for at least five years. "It is of the utmost importance that ur supply and ptfmping facilities he so conserved that the utility affords an abundant pressure in case of lire." he continued. "Well-regulated, private utilities in growing cities plan for a number of jears in advance. Municipally-owned utilities should be planned in the same way. South Pend is a rapidly growing municipality and it -is our duty to lan for its future. "Water main extensions are I. ting made continually and the number of connections are: rapidly increasing.

"The Czar Has Abdicated

What an electric thrill when the news was flashed around the world! Four words, and they told of the most tremendous event in modern history, the most significant step forward in the march of democracy. And yet how little of the real story of ; Russia in revolt ever came ticking over the wires! How much met deletion by the censor's unstayed hand, how much was lost in the confusion on those thrilling days! The czar, the czarina, what of them when, with the suddenness of a thunder-clap, power slipped from them, and with it imperial majesty? What of the household at Tsarkoe-oelo? A vivid account of the revolution, written in the United States where the author was unhampered by censorship by an American eye witness, who was in fact a member of the imperial household, illustrated with numerous photographs hitherto unpublished that is in store for readers of The News-Times. This paper has obtained from Dr. Earl B. Downer, Red Cross surgeon, and for seven months an occupant of the imperial palace at Tsarkoe-Selo while he was, by command of the czarina, chief of the imperial hospitals of Russia, an account of the revolution as he saw it. Dr. Downer spent the summer in South Bend. In daily contact with the members of the imperial family, with members of the nobility and high public officials Dr. Downer obtained facts and material qualifying him to speak with authority and to reveal facts hitherto unpublished in America.
