General Manager Stockly this morn
ing issued his first public statement
since the recent council meeting. when
the matter at water meters was dis
cussed. Mr.. Stockly's idea is To have
the council instruct the board of pun
lie works to make an exhaustive eX-
animation into the use OF meters, this
examination To cover other towns that
are on fiat rate and others that
are on meters and compare the re-
suits. He wishes the board to exam
me carefully into every condition that
could possibly give rise To "A question
and decide ms fairly as possible all
disputed questions.
when tho board has made such an
examination. all of the data collect
ed would be- laid before the council
and citizens. and with this as a guide
the council could decide once and for
All what the policy of the city water
department would be- in the future.
Lack of positive and definite proof
of the statements that are being made
is handicapping both sides in the
