cubic feet or 81 barrels, for actual use.
If we assume that the cistern is COM

gives a daily consumption of just 3
cubic feet, or 22h gallons, per family

eral times as much soft water as the
quantity stated, and more would be
used in many homes If the supply was
more adequate and easier to obtain.
The water reports Of large cities
show much greater consumption fig

water are being used in factories and
packing houses and for street sprink-
ling and building purposes. The farm

Delaware during the period from
June 30, 1914, to November II. 1915.
when the last bank report was re-

'ious record in the history OF the
state for a like period of time bv
many millions of dollars. Commis-
sioner McCabe's report shows that
on June 30. 1914, the deposits I'M

amounted TO S27,O51.702, ana ON No
