Meters te he InstaIIed


 Aqueduct Co, H. B. Freeman and Charles Schwobby. both of Thompson vile, were here Tuesday afternoon and
 met with a number of the business
 men of the borough at the Stafford
 Business Mems club rooms. Last
 June the officials of the water com
 pany were induced to come here and
 talk over the conditions of the water
 system as the service had been made
 quate through the winter and spring.
 At that time the officials promised to
 make a thorough investigation and
 report at a future meeting The
 meeting of Tuesday was to hear their
 report. The officials reported that
 their engineers believed that the pres lent pipes were large enough, but need ed thorough cleaning. A meter has been placed at the outlet of the storage
 reservoir and the officials stated that they found that the amount of water used daily was from 450, ,0O0 to 500, 1000 gallons a day, which was nearly twice the amount that should be used by the number of people using the reservoir, in comparison with other places. The company promises to have all the mains thoroughly cleaned and an ex- pert has been engaged to do the work right away. They claim that this will increase the pressure 25 per cent I The company is also to commence at once and install meters for each ser vice and the rate to be charged will be the same as in Thompsonville. It is expected that the meters will reduce the amount of water used to 150,00O or 100000 gallons day and that the supply will be sufficient to meet all needs. If it is found neces- sary large iron tank reservoir may ! be erected on the hill tack of the school buildings. It is expected to have all the meters installed ty Jan uary 1st.
