losses suffered in battle and replace

lation of 1000. 900. which would bring
the per capita figure down to 100 gallons.
The average daily consumption for 1913
was 800 900 900 gallons. So far this
year. with the meter service in effect,
in so far as factories, etc, are con
cerncd. the average daily figures are
30 900, 900 gallons. This total, it is cX
pected will be increased TO the danger
point throughout the hot summer
months.
The universal metcrization of the more
than 300 900 small homes would, ac-
cordng to Chief Davis, reduce wastage
and careless usage to point that would
result in a saving of IS. ZOO, 900 to
sc, ,O0O, 900 gallons of water daily, thus
bringing the demand within the possible
production of the present filters and
pumping stations.
A universal meter ordinance is being
held up. after receiving the approval of
councilmanic committee because its
provisions do not suit certain political
interests that are not anxious TO press
the matter until after the next mayoralty
campaign is out of the way.
Meters Cost SO, 200, ,""O
The cost of installing meters is csti-
mated to be 5000 900. The cost is
placed by the pending bill upon the
owners of property. They in turn have.
argued to councils that the cost should
be placed upon the tenant and con
sumer.
Chief Davis. although emphasizing the
need for meters in homes. is of the Opiu
ion that certain other factors will al
ways contribute TO keep up the high
consumption water rate. In explaining
in part the high rate, he said: 1T is
true that by metcring the homes. we
could save something like $4,000. 900
gallons n day, but that is not the only
factor that keeps up the rate here.
Take. for instance, the fact that in this
city of about 1000. 900 we have, because
of our many homes. as many service
connections from mains as they have in
New York with its 6.0O0. 900 inhabi-
tants. This situation brings about Il
certain wastage that cannot be alto
gether, avoided and that is recorded
against our, population on the ratio of
three to one as compared with New
York's.
"Another factor" said the chief, "is
the popular character of our industries.
They are largely heavy water users.
This is much more lthe case here than
in most other cities. 1t helps to keep
up consumption of legitimate charac-
ter. In many cities many plants along
waterways get their supplies direct from
rivers and other streams and are thus
not accounted for in the municipal water
supply estimates on consumption. We
are doing the best we can here. Uni
versal metering would help lot, but it
looks to me as though per capita con
sumption here will always be high. l
do not think it an exactly fair way to
estimate upon, in view of the effect
changed conditions have upon. results. :"
