Hartman, Agent At a joint meeting of Village Council and Board of Public Affairs, Tuesday evening, it was decided to install meters for all consumers that have not been on that service. The question has been under considera­ tion by the local authorities for some months. Contin­ ued increased^consumption, much of which is regarded wasted water,' has made this step necessary, according to those in authority. About twenty-five meters are now in use and the board ordered the first shipment of S3 to come from Chicago at once. Property owners are to be held re­ sponsible for the meter and installation, except where the tenant assums the cost by previous arrangement. It is planned to have an installation cash price and also one that can be paid in quarterly payments along with the water bill. The contract with the company furnish­ ing the meters makes this arrangement possible. The authorities also decided that the first meters to be installed would be with e$ch village official that had water service arid no meter now. Blighty meters in all were ordered, to come in two shipments. Prac­ tically all towns in this section of the state with muni­ cipal water service use the meter system.
