 He also pointed out that any re- quest for supplementary allotments should not be made until next week, at least until after Thursday. Some not satisfied with their ratings, sought additional allotmentS im- mediately, he said.

per cent, he said. William H. Moody general secretary of the Naugatuck Water company, expressed the opinin that the company's revenue will be less during the next six months because many leaks have already been corrected and more will be corrected by October. It was brought out however, that the first six months on which MT. Duchelle was basing his figures, did not in- clude the summer months when more water is usually used.
 151 Instances Cited
 Warden Brophy submitted 151 in- stances of specific complaints made here, which he said, represent over 1900 persons here. The increase in one-fanily houses under the meter rate was about 100 per cent, these figures show, he said. The average quarterly bill for such families was $6.85 which would be close to $25 for the year, he said.
 The average consumption for one- family houses was A gallons per person per day, and the average number of persons in such houses was 4.8, his figures showed.
 The average quarterly charge un- der the new rate to two family houses was $9.54 per quarter or over $38 per year, an increase of over 50 per cent. The average number of persons using these houses was 6.6, according to the figures given and each person used 49 gallons oi water a day, the warden said.
 There were few complaints from families of two persons or from foul persons in a two family house. H. expressed the opinion that the fam. lily of four or more are heinz handi- capped for a family of two car average 38 gallons per person L-. day under the present rate, if il has a s quarterly bill, and a family of four would have to average only 10 gallons per person per day il it were to keep within the s rate per quarter. The flat rate charge prior to meters used to be about SIP per year for most one-family houses

Many made specific complaints and only one person, other than & Water company official, defended the Water company. This was Will liam J. Noble, Jr., of New Haven Road, former burgess here.
 The session lasted from 8 o'clock until midnight, At its conclusion Judge O'Connell said, we know there is a lot of dissatisfaction here" He pointed out the commits sion would like to have the one-year trial period completed, that is until october of this year. He said he knew this was a little bothersome and disappointing, but pointed out that if rates are excessive, the money will be refunded. When the trial period ends in October, the com mission will try to set rates that will be satisfactory to almost everybody.
 ''The schedule seems to be off the key", Judge O'Connell said. He added he would be glad to come down to Naugatuck again and tell Naugatuck people just what the commission has found out in the meantime. He promised specific complaints made last night will be investigated, as will also others made previously.
 The revenue of the Water com pany on domestic and commercial buildings has been increased in the six Rnonth period from October l, l94l to March 1, 1922 by $6,015.4l, Francis Duchelle, accountant for the utiltles commission, told the group. The revenue for this six months period was $34,75l and for the pre- vious period it had been $28,6SS. This is an increase of 20 per cent, he said.
 The industrial consumption, in which school figures were includ- ed, was increased by $2O58.04 in the same period under the, water meter rates, he said. It was brought out That the schools get a 30 per cent discount, which would make the industrial figures higher if the school figures had not been in- cluded.
 MT. Duchelle said 1920 customers had their bills increased in this period and 065 customers received a decrease. If the company'S rev. enue for the next six months is the same, the increase will be about IS
