Installation Defined The Public Service Commission has dismissed the complaints of several individuals in vicinity of Philadelphia against the Springfield Consolidated Waher Com pany, in tvhieh there were contro versies over cost of installation of meters.

The piping with the necessary valves for control and operation form part of the interior plumbing. Any work necessary to arrange the pipe for the installation of the meter and the necessary valves or cocks should be at the expenses of the patron or "property owner."
