Three fourths of Paris' army of telegraph and telephone strikers are back on their jobs today and others are returning so rapidly 'that by tomorrow it is expected the last of them will again be at work. Gangs of men are now at work repairing the lines cut by the strikers and within a few days normal conditions will prevail, except for the accumulation of messages, which it will take days to dispose of.

Name 2 J. New Address Old Address Deliver The Truth to new address on and after 1 ,1909, WATER RATES SCRANTON WATER COMPANY In fixing the price to be charged (or water, the object of the company has been to give an ample supply increasing the present cost to he consumer. I The minimum charge per family will be $1.50 quarter, which is the present charge for a family having no bath tub, closet, wash bowl or hose.

This amount gives 6,000 gallons per quarter, or about 66 gallons, being more than a large hogshead per day. After several months' trial, we find hundreds of families having a bath tub, closet and wash bowl not using so much as 66 gallons per day, so that an economical user of water can put In these conveniences and not pay any more than he is at present paying for family use alone. The consumer now paying $4.00 per quarter for a family, bath tub, water closet and wash bowl cart use 16,000 gallons per quarter, or about 178 galllons per day, and not pay any more than his present rate. From the experience of other towns and the readings of the meters here this winter, we And that families of this class, now paying $4.00 a quarter, ordinarily use from 9,000 to 12,500 gallons of water per quarter, or from 100 to 140 gallons per day. Under our meter rates, this would cost only from $2.25 to $3.13 a quarter, or a saving in the one case yearly of $7.00, or over 40 per cent, and 1n the other of $3.50, or over 20 per cent, below' our present fixed rates.

I The consumer now paying $6 per quarter, or $24 per year, for a family, bath tub, water' closet, wash bowl and hose may use 100 gallons per day for three quarters of the year as a cost of $6.75. For the three months of the summer when he is using the hose he would pay as follows: For the ordinary house use of 100 gallons per day, or 9,000 gallons per quarter, for 21,000 gallons at 25 cents iper 1,000 gallons, and 48,760 gallons at 20 cents per 1,000 gallons a total of $17.25 for this quarter, which to the $6.75 for the other three quarters, would be equal to his present rate. Thig would give him 69,750 gallons for hose use In the summer quarter without increasing his present yearly rate. By the way, out of 26,000 customers, we find only 2 409 paying for hose attachments. iMany complains formerly came to us from csutomers having more than one bath tub, water closet or wash bowl, these customers arguing that they used no more water than they would If they had only one, the extra ones being put In merely as a convenience, and that therefore, they should pay no more than if they had only one.

Happily, hereafter, it makes difference what fixtures or conveniences a customer may have Any man can have all he wants. Our in spectors will look at the meter alone. We would again urge upon our customers the necessity of keeping their plumbing in order for a large number of them do not yet seem to realize how much water is wasted from a closet or faucet running twenty four hours a day. We know of instances where the average use has been about 100 gallons per day, and a leak developing in a closet, without attention, has raised the consumption to a daily average of over '600 gallon. "We are fully convinced that anv increase in the present cost of water to any customer will be caused, not by any necessary use of water, but by defective plumbing or carelessness, and we are satisfied that in a year's time every economical family in the oity win be glad of the introduction of the water meter, M15 to AprJ Five more days to Economize on Oriental Rugs Some one is going to be sadly disappointed if they miss the final days of this Oriental Rug Sale.
