It the question had been one not deemed objectionable on general principles— if it had not been too pertinent, too inquisitive— | there probably would have been no pecessity to interpret parliamentary law in this manner.

Coun A METER ORDINANCE Chairman Judd at the Common Council, breaking the tie vote on the | new fangled water meter ordinance | anacted, has added another "m-; umph” to his collection. This ordi-| nance calls for lessened stair climb- ing for meter readers; it requires that cellar keys, where the meters are located, should be somewhere on | the lower part of the premises, even | where families live on the third or| second floors of dwellings. In such | apartments it is common for each tenant to have a section of the cel- | lar for his own use, which ls locked, or in some cases the owner lives on | the top floor and there abide the | keys to the cellar and the meters. | Those who voted for this peculiar | ordinance evidently think fewer | meter readers will be needed in the future if there is less stair-climbing | to be done by the force. But in all probability In a year from now the | ordinance will have been forgotten The gas and electric compan! do not need such rules and regula- tions; they merely go about getting the readings, climbing stairs it neces- | sary and saying nothing about it. But then, there is no Common Council running them. THE ENFIELD DAM Navigation upon the Connecticut river between Hartford and Spring- | fleld is importamt, in theory. Actual- ly the river traffic does not appear | of sufficlent proportions to startle the cows grazing along the river banks. The Northern Connecticut Power | company has aroused much indig- nation by desiring to build a dam at | Enfield, Conn,, in such manner as to eliminate theoretical navigation. Plans of the company do not in- clude provision for a system of locks. The government usually is quite particular about retalning theoretical ong the rivers. Even in the case of the Con- necticut river above Hartford, where the stream {s not even now navigable to boats except those of the lightest draught, such navigation should be maintained. The principle is one that the government should by all means continue to maintain. If the company wishes to utilize the En- fleld location for power purposes it should be made to construct the necegsary locks. The panies are nmot suffering from lack of money, and their income is } No dam should be bullt adequate locks. ion navigat power com- without PROBING THE BANKERS The McFadden 1 bill has been one which made the collective dome and all is about.

The actors association has bheen eager to con- demn improper plays and its objec- tion to any such productions could be effectively used in its refusal to permit its membership to take part in them, the newspaper holds.
