 age Same as Three Year Total

The receipts for the first three years of New Britain's municipal water system were about tho same amount as is now collected in one week. comparative schedules pre- pared by the board of water com missioners show.
 In 1859, the water department revenue was $l,l59.09 The revenue of the fiscal year just com pleted was $ia5,632,S6. Until the water department had been in operation five years, the income did not reach S2,000, and in 1872 the departments books showed rentals in excess of s10,O00 for the first time. The increase was gradual but kept mounting steadily until the $l00.000 mark was reached in l907 Last year the department collected more than has ever been taken in before. Out Of the $3,944,- 594S4 that has been collected in the 66 years of the water department s existence, more than one-half was ! taken in during the past ten years,
