Appropriation of Water. . Appropriations of water, under circum stances that approach very closely to theft. are being inquired Into by the water com missioner and Superintendent Etnyre. The hot dry weather baa cauaed many people yield to the temptation to use water for sprinkling purposes, and garden hoae long unusued la brought Into requisition or borrowed from kindly neighbor and thirsty lawns thoroughly drenched. On Wednesday night the commissioners sent out spies In an automobile and In one hour caught fifteen persons using water who were not authorised to do so by having their names on the sprinkling list. Their names were added yesterday, Increasing the revenue for the department Just 175. Last night three .automobiles were sent out manned bjd.'men. who -knew the street numbers well and provided with lists of the authorised water users. In about an hour they were able to report more than thirty addltmal names, adding 150 to the water department's Income. Bills will be nt to all of these persons on July 1 and tlTey will be required to pay or have the water ahut oft The Automobiles will be kept In service during the summer, with the moral certainty that every property owner who uses water for sprinkling pur poses or permits a tenant to do so will have to pay for It. The water commissioners yesterday took the first step toward the early require ment for the use of meters for all private consumers. The decision was reached to Install meters at absolute cost, and the first batch of forty was purchased. They are the phosphor bronse trident pattern and cost $8.40 each at the faotory. They will be sold to the consumer for t. The additional cost will be simply that of In iVaUatlon. It has been figured out that Aha universal use of meters will Increase UiS revenues about $30,000 a year and de crease the amount of water to be pumped.

Council Bluffs SANE FOURTH MAYOR'S ORDER Executive Sijjni Proclamation that Will Stop Much Noise. ntojnsEs to enforce it Retail Boy Will Be Obliged, for Safety of Commealty, to Cos flae His Efforts to Ordinary Wars ef Celebration. Council Bluffs Is to have another so- called "safe and sane Fourth." The American spirit of the genuine Yankee boy will be curbed as the officials care or even dare to restrain It. Mayor Maloney yesterday told the boys Just how far they could go and still be patriotic and not criminal. He Issued his Fourth of July proclamation defining the privileges that would be granted and re straints that would be Imposed from now until the close of the great national anni versary. The proclamation Is as klad aa the mayor can make it. He remembers the time when, freckled-faced, barefooted and full of Intense enthusiasm, his great est ambition was to make a noise that could be heard In China or set off a flash that would be reflected In surprise by the moon. The mayor originated In the Immediate vicinity of the scenes of Mark Twain's boyhood, and he was a real Tom Sawyer and a Huckleberry Finn In the good old days spent In the environments of Warsaw and Hannibal along the Mississippi river, where the very spirit that brooded over water and wooded hills made It impos sible not to disobey the mandates of father and mother. He recalls the time when he blew up the cowshed with a keg of blasting powder which quarrymen hnd thoughtlessly left unguarded. He still sees the flash, and the echo of the glorious roar has never ceased to thrill upon his ear drums. He Is only thankful that It all happened before the days of dynamite and high explosives for he feels sure he would now have to use at least one wooden leg, an artificial arm or at least a glass eye. He read the proclamation over seven times yesterday after It was typewritten before he could muster the courage to sign It. Here It is, with the mayor's humble apologies to the genuine American boys in Council Bluffs, and the "badest bad" feature of It la that It Is going to be strictly enforced but with the regret that every adult man and woman and family horse, also family dog. Is not blessed with the kind of nerves that tingle to the en thusiastic ambition of the real boy. All cltixens are warned by the chief of police not to indulge in premature celebra tions, xne laws renaming the use and sale of fireworks are stated In the following proclamation insuea today: By direction of the mayor the followlnsr Is hereby published for the information of all concerned: Chapter 185, laws of the Thirty-second general assembly, reads: Mo person shall use. sell, offer for sale or keep for aale within the stnte any toy revolvers, caua containing dynamite, blank cartridges for toy revolvers or toy plctols, or firecrackers more than three (3) Inches in length or three-fourths of an inch in diameter.

Postmaster General Hitchcock is out of town and will not return until Monday, leaving the Thomas case and the location of new railway mall division headquarters Just where they have been for months past, unsettled.
