How many are there who can correctly read an elec trie meter, a gas meter, or even a double back-action, chain lightning Ainori- cus water meter? And yet'these startling cash com puters are numerous here. It Is a matter of doubt If a him- d red citizens of tho town can correct- ly read a gas meter; fewer still can wrestlo with the electric wonder, while all pass on the water bandit. Yet Americus is run per meter, and run to a finish. In.nearly all things else the public Is protected, hut not per meter. Our food is protected by pure food laws we have inspectors of food and drink, Inspectors of scales and cor rect weights, but, per meter, game at ail seasons. We can be shot on sight and held uii ad libitum, and yet we are not even allowed to protest. Wo "settle by the meter" in ail cases, and that’s the end of It. Why, then, should not the city coun cil employ a meter Inspector for I lie protection of the public; a capable nian who is familiar with meters of all kinds, nnd who not only would i tlint the meters moasured correctly, hut Instruct people in reading them.
