There IS an enormous amount Of water

There are very few cities In which a yearly
average OF rs gallons per capita per day is
not sufficient for all uses. and In most
cities where the consumption exceeds this
II might be brought within this limit by
proper treatment. This being the case, It
Is evident that there might be great
amount Of water wasted in many cities.
In New York this appears to be about 40
gallons. IN Detroit 80, and ia Philadelphia
more than $40 gallons per capita daily.
II the supply Is pumped this means In
creased expense for coal consumption aud
