Port Hope bas a grand total o! taxes amounting to $177.063.45, cansiderable more Iban Bowmanville, yet the colections for the year were fan in excess of those in Bowmanville.

E. Chase, manager o! the Public Utili- ties Commission, since the com- mission took charge o! the tawn waterworks system early Ibis year reveal a rather arnazing fact that non-metered users have a bigher average o! consumption than thase that are metered. In fact, the filg- ures show that non-metered cus- tomers who are supposed ta be small consuiners, use more than double the quantity o! water credited ta Imeter users. The thorougb survey o! the waterworks system bas brougbt ta lighî several thlngs that should be cbanged ta, benefit the system and its usens. It bas, among ather things, brought ta ligbt the fact tato- manville is usin.g very closet capa- city o! its water supply. The average daily consumption in Bowmianville is 224,550 impeial gallons wbile the average daily supply available la only 275,000 imperial gallons. The total consumption for the quarter ending July lat, 1933, was 20,212,000 imperial gallons, wbile the total supply amounted ta 23,850,000 imperial gallons. In the town there are 930 water users, 419 have meters and 511 are non-meter users paying a flat rate of $2.50 per quarter. The 419 used a total o! 5,163,284 imperial gallons in the above quarter, whereas a! ter allowing 3,000,000 gallons for leak- age. flusbing sewens and fine pur- poses there remains 12,048,716 that was used by the nan-metered water users. This makes a fan greater average for non-metered than for metened users. The result la that the Commission bas decided 10 instaîl more meters. Thlrty have already been installed and anoîben 30 will be instailed in- med.iately, Éinging the total o! met- ered users up ta approxlmat'eLVA%. Another amazmng revelati£ fl (Continued on a.EaL, ST.
