to explain that he was q full paid

Even after this explanation Vogel

LOOKING FOR WATER.

Waterbury has just completed a million-do reservoir. and is secure as far as present needs of potable water is concerned: and immediately the city engineer calls attention to the fact that the city has only 8 ten years supply and that it is the part of wis dom for Waterbury to immediately look for a new source to meet this future necessity.
 Al . means of conserving the sup ply the use of meters is advised but this very sensible proposition finds opposition because if is thought meters mean higher rates, which it should not mean. and does not mean in cities where they are in use for the saved water through the use Of meters is a large asset which is ap- preciated by the authorities, and ought to be by the people
 The Republican says further: II is all very well to say glioly that the city can build more reservoirs, but projects for bringing water long dis tances are costly. Furthermore. we must have watersheds with the res ervoirs, and with the growth of urban population in Connecticut, and the dif ficuitIes the cities have in securing and retaining water rights. We shall see a very critical situation state vide with fin ten or twenty years. The cities will be competing with each other for pota- ble water, and paying fancy prices, Ioo
 Half of our potable water is vast ed, either through leakage and care lessncss, or because 1t is devoted to industrial and mechanical uses The city must recognize the fact and the consumer must bow to the inevitable The plan for universal meter rates. which was eavalterly disposed of hy the aldermen four years ago. would have obviated some of the difficulties now pressing upon the city. and con served the present supply without tax ing the consumer for reasonable use any higher than the present rates. Sooner or later we shall have to come to a metsred service"
