The matter of regulating the water
rates at Azusa was again taken UP
yesterday by the board, and a vast
amount of statistical information was
| laid before the board. An estimate was
put in showing that the present water
works can be duplicated for s10,941S 80.
In this estimate it is stated that Azusa
is entitled to twenty-five miners inches
of water, measured under four-inch
pressure, equivalent to 323,136 gallons
in twenty-four hours. Assuming $50
gallons to each person each twenty
four hours, about the average consump-
tion per capita in Los Angeles, there
would be water sufficient for population
Of 2154. At present Azusa has popula-
tion of 700 people.
The total cost of new plant with the
most modern improvements, and with
a reservoir of over 100000 gallons,
cast iron street mains, gates, valves and
twelve fire hydrants. is set at S19, ,S76.52
That would amount to about $28 per
present inhabitant. The matter was
taken under advisement by the board.

bills against the county. according to
