April 2S, na, The Honorable tho City Council, City of HurlinRton: Ocntleinen: Agreeable to the require mcnt of section 10 of tho water ordinance your water commissioners submit the lol lowing: Owing to tho gradual increase ill tie number of uur mtcrcd services, the result of the ('(instantly lncrsaslng favor hi which tho meter system is regarded b our water coniumcrs it ban ooniu about that tho minimum rate payers, the class who nay Hie highest ptlco for metered water, are flaying more than their pro portion of the motcr receipts. The constantly Inu-easmg number cf minimum rate payers, now nearly one thousand, who. each quarter, pay as much for water as would bo requlrvd were their consumption larger, has rendered this feat urn of tho minimum rate mine consiilcuous than foimerly. Wo would recommend that tho minimum meter rate be made six dollars per annum Instead of eight, as at present, and that the rate for the llrst luiiO cubic tod, used in any one month, be made 15 cents per 10U cubic feet. ruder the existing schedule rate, a fam ily faucet in a living room, without hose bib or wate connection, Is assessed the same as one having a wet sink, with sower connection and facilities for waste many times in excess of its legitimate use. Wo would recommend that tho rate lor such a llxture be made M.fo per annum Instead of Km), as at present. The Iliieneial condition of the depart ment Is such as lo wairanl tho reductions mentioned, all of which tend to more equitable assessment, and nre, In our opin ion, ior the best Interest of tho city.

MAY LOSE SIGHT OF LYE C. S. Tylor Sovoroly Burnod by Throwing- Oil on Conls of Firo. As a result of a gas explosion caused by throwing kerosene oil upon some coals of fire, C. S.

Mr. Tyler was attempting to lire his baker nnd to th.it end placed some wind In It and applied kerosene oil, not know ing that there were live coals tie r.-. Hid ten months' old child wus In a baby ium-.i er hi front of thu open door of the b.ik.-r nnel when sum. lie was seen Issuing fror the opening Mr. Tyler wont to remove the child and ju-t as ho stooped In front of tile uiqiaiatus the explosion occurred, a volley of fl.nne and hot ashe s striking him In the face ,m I severely burning one side of It. Ills n. -k was dressed low- and the flames shot in full upon his bi.-.i-t, burn ing that in a horrible manner. 11.- also re telved serious burns upon his left hand. The child . Mapeil with juaeti. all no burns, as tin- father did not spare himself In his eflorts to protool the little one. Had lie not gone to the rcycu of the baby as lie did th.ro Is no doubt th it the child would have perished Instantly. It is supposed that the explosion oc curred by the generation of g.is from the (ontaet of the oil wllh the coals and when this gas Ignited the lla;ne burst forth In (in enormous volume. Tho most scrims thing about the accident Is the probible loss of the sight In Mr. Tyler's left eye, as that side of the lace was directly in trout of the open door when the uxplusun occurred.
