IN USE OP ITER Consumption Here Exceeded Only by Chicago, Which Has No Meters 1"77 GALLONS PER PERSON How Big Cities Stand " iii Water Consumption The per cnpltn daily eotmimption of writer in large cities, necnnliiiK to statistics- follows: C'liiraKo. U."i9 gallons. ' rtiilaclclpliia, 177 callous. u Baltimore, 140 gallono. St. Louis. 1H( gallon. lloston, 100 gallons. New York, moie than 100 gallons. Philadelphia is with a single excep tion the largest consumer of pure water of all the great cities of the country. Every man, woman and child in the city had an allowance of 177 gallons daily during IMS, nnd almost as great an allowance for the iirst four mouths of-tho. present year. Chicago, with no meters and few re restrictive provisions, allowed '259 gallons to each resident each day last year. ' A per capita basis is not altogether fair in the opinion of Chief Davis, of the Water 11 ur etui, in that peculiar con ditions exist in 1'hihidelpliia that do not nffect many of the larger centers of pop ulation where consumption daily is on a much lower average. Ho says that if New lork, lloston or any other eastern city, where per capita consumption is low, liad to meet condi tions 'that exist in this city of small homes and many textile niauufacturies, their rute of consumption would jump to n par or nearly to a par with our own. A per capita consumption tnhle for the large cities nIiowh some wide varia tions accountable only by the different restrictive rules, the extent to which unfiltered water is used by manufactur ing plants along rivers and bays nnd the existence or nonexistence of meter sys tems of a universal character. Chicago (o Install Aiders AVith Chicago leading the list with a dally consumption so far in advance of nil other cities ns to place it in n class of its own, plans are under way uud preliminary reports have been made upon the absolute necessity for the in -fctatlatiou of a universal meteriug sjs tem. Philadelphia, in so far as the meter situation is concerned, is soinewhut similar to Chicago, and up until receut 3 ears was in exactly jlhe same position nS the middle western city finds itself. with no meters. Kecciit councilmunic legislation has led to the installation of meters in nil manufacturing plants and in many apartment houses, etc. Brought About Saving Tho meterizing of tho larger plants has alsoln the opinion of Chief Davis, resulted in the more having use or water fcncl in the prevention of waste wher ever possible. The per enpita figures are based upon a population of 1,800,000, u figure claimed to be too low for wartime con ditions. A more fuir computation, it is V- claimed, would be on the basis of a popu RAMSDELL & SON There are as many points , of merit in IVERS &POND PIANOS as there are com ponent parts, each con structive unit has its own story. 1225 WALNUT ST. i VA $& pS Hello!

So far this: year, "with the meter service in effect,' in so far ns factories, etc., are con cerned, the iiverngo daily figures are JtlO.000,000 gallons. This total, it is ex pected, will be increased to the danger point throughout the hot summer months. The universal mctcrizution of the more than .100,000 small homes would, ac cording to Chief Davis, reduce wastage nnd careless usage to n poiut thnt would result in n saving of 4S, 000,000 to r.0,000,000 gnllons 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 n councilmauic committee because its provisions do ypt suit certain political l interests tnut, are not nnxious to press the matter until after the next nisijotulty campaign is out of the wo . Meiers Cost $,O()0,"O The cost of installing metns is esti mated to be .$0,000,000. The ost is nlaeed 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 nnd con sumer. Chief Davis, although emphasizing the need for meters in homes, is of the opin ion thnt certain other factors will al ways contribute lo keep up the high consumption water rate. In ccpluitiin- in part the lngli rate, he sniU : "It is true that by metering the homes, wi could save something like 00.000,0011 gallons a day, but that is not the oul.v factor thnt keeps up the rate here. Take, for instance, the fact that in this xcity of about -,000,000 we have, because vi uur uiMUf iiuuirn, uh uuill.v service connections from mains as they have iu New York with its 0,000,000 inhabi tants. This situation brines about a certain wastage that cannot he alto gether avoided and that is recorded against ourpopulntion on the rntlo of inroo to one us compared with .Xcvv York's. "Another factor," said the chief, "is the popular character of our industries. They are largely heavy water users. This is much moietthc case here than in most other cities. It helps to keep up consumption of a legitimate charac ter. In many cities many plants along waterwajs get their supplies direct from rivers nnd other streams and are thus not accounted for in the municipal water supply estimates on consumption. 'c arc doing the best wc can here. Uni versal meteriug would help a lot, but it looks to me us though per capita con sumption here will always be high. 1 do not think it an exactly fair way to estimate upon, in view of the effect changed conditions have upon, results."
