The population of the city OF

The taxable polls of New Britain in
1910 were 1l.945, or FL per cent. of
the total population of the city at thal
time The taxable polls in 1917 were
1874. and if they were the same per
cent. as in 1910, the total population
would he Approximately 6l,3'0 at the
present time
The school census of the city IN l9lo
was 1857 or ID per cent of the popu-
lation The school census in 1917 was
14.oS2 If the per cent. was the Same
in 1917. tho population would be 3S,-
so. The average of these two deter
limitations in 60.12O which is the APP
proNimate population of the city a.
the present time. Judging from the
growth of Hartford Waterbury.
Bridgeport and New Haven, it would
show that the probaDle population Of

Water Consumption.
The daily consumption of water by
the city for each year since 1913 is
as follows:

191l--3.3tS,7S6 gallons per "a hours.
1915-3.3S2 sos gallons per "A hours.
19i6-3.7S gallons per "a hours.
1917. O29,521 gallons per "a hours.
Assuming the present population as
6O120 1t would give tho present per
capita consumption approximately s.
gallons per "a hours. The above fig

ters It does not include water used
in schools. fire houses, City Building,

age in mains and service connections.
IT is safe to assume that the water
which is not measured by meters will
run as high as 40 per cent. Of the to-
tai draft OF the distribution system

Adding 0 gallons for the proba BILE
increase in consumption in a dry
