 Further MT. Archer's preliminary report said:
 Figuring on a consumption of 100 gallons per capita per day, $500 people in Nogales, Arizona, would consume 350,000 gallons daily.
 "phe consumption of the average house having Q lawn would prob ably be about 1000 gallons per day for all purposes"
 50,000 gallons per month cost $S25 or 16.5c per gallon.
 100000 gallons per month cost $13.50 or 13.5c per gallon.
 150,000 gallons per month cost $18.75 or 125c per gallon.
 100000 gallons per month cost $21.25 or 10.6c per gallon.
 100000 gallons per month cost $25.25 or S4c per gallon.
 3,000,000 gallons per month cost $15060 or Dc per gallon.
 (Probably Mir. Archer intended to make this table read 1000 gal Ions in each case).
 Quoting Mir. Archer again:
 "The $. P. Railway has con- sumption approximately of $150,- 900 gallons daily, which would amount to the last figure above"
 It would be very interesting to know by what process of reasoning MT. Archer arrived at some of his conclusions and statements. As examples take his estimate that the $500 people now in Nogales, Arizona, will consume 350,000 gal Ions of water daily, throughout the entire year-100 gallons per capita per day; and that the consumption of the average house having a lawn would be about 1000 gallons per day for all purposes. There are to be obtained right in Nogales in- stances to cast doubt upon either of the foregoing assumptions. A well known residence on Crawford Street is as good a case in point as can be asked. There is a large house, with a lawn and trees on the parking in front, the occupants and servants averaging at all times about eight persons. The maximum consumption of water at that house for any single month is stated to have been 2S,000 gallons, an average of 120 gallons per day per capita. During many the consumption fell far short of that figure, and in very few months did the consumption approach it any where near. So 1t is seen that the maximum consumption ot such a house falls short nearly 70 from the average assumed by Mir. Archer, and that the average actual con- sumption in such house with a lawn must fall short from his cal culations by per centage much larger. The inmates in the house instanced admit that they are ex- travagant in the use of water, hay ing bath, patent water closet, etc, and using all and everything freely beside irrigating the lawn and trees, yet their average daily consumption of water in their maximum month exceeds only by 2036 the estimate given by MT. Archer for the consumption by every man, woman and child in the town of Nogales, nine tenths of

types was in the pumping plant at the river. All the other details were practically the same. The Town Board was disposed to adopt the most costly type, the oil engine, at an original outlay of $135,000 to $145,000, with a bond issue of $l50,000 for a water system of that type. But afterward the board concluded that cheaper type of system could be installed with a bond issue of $120,000 for water. In this inquiry l will not lose eight of the latter fact, but will re- turn to it after an analysis of some of MT. Archer'5 calculations.
 Among other points he present. ed a financial showing of the operation of an oil engine plant and system" as follows:
