.nbows an increase in pressure from
m to three pounds as a result of the
inspection trip. What leakage exists,
aha commissioners stated. is difficult
to discover for the necessary remedy.
Considerable leakage is in hidden
any “dead heads," such as abandon-
ed pipes. etc. The commissioners de-
, flared last night they went over the
«system recently, since the last meet-
ing, and found things in good shape.
Several repairs were found necessary,
and these were immediately attended
to.
In the second district there is an
average daily consumption of 2,550.1

”I”
y. f manila is 139 gallons for private house
115e, and 55 gallons for commercial
use.
The plant at Providence, R. 1., is
very similar to the downtown sys-
+.-,
tam. Discussion turned on this. Mr.
:eSmlth said that the plant is one of
‘5 the best managed in the country, and
«every tap is metered The average
. «daily consumption is 65 gallons per
7 units. at Providence, according to
5'1 figures submitted by Mr. Smith. The
waste, it was stated. was on the aver
age of 20 gallons daily per capita.
The system is municipally owned. and

. plant.
Mr. smith said that the lowest con
'_1 mption is between the hours of 1
o’clock and 4 o’clock in the early

“W“‘Xhe daily reports, the consumption, be-
tween these hours, for the week end-
dug Saturday, October 2, was 1,930,000
gallons.

“where is that water going to?" The
speaker said if there was any one in
the room who was not convinced
there was a wastage he would take
them out and show them.
Mr. Smith said he favored making
it optional as to the installation of
meters. He stated the commissioners
'nhould be requested to draw up a me

desired the ureter might have them.

H. A. Mathewson seconded Mr. Mo
Mahou's motion concerning the filter
addition... Mr. McMahon offered an
amendment, which he later withdrew,
making it the sense of the meeting
that no meters be installed after the
completion of the addition.
General Russell Frost inquired if
the addition to the filter was really
necessary. and S. S. Hatch stated that
it was agreed among the commission-
ers that it was, and that there would
be water enough to fill it when built.
Mr. Smith offered his amendment
making it optional regarding the in-
stallation of meters.
H. A. Mathewson held that this
amendment was out of order, as it
was something entirely different from
the original motion. 1
Mr. Smith contended it was not,
and stated it was acceptable to any
question.
t‘hairman Nash ruled that Mr'.
Smith was in order, but when his
amendment was put to a vote it was
downed.

solution for the addition to the plant

“HUGH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.”
To Be Presented Here By The Ben
Greet Player-a.
Interest undoubtedly will be aroused
by the announcement that the well
known Ben Greet Players will be seen
here in an excellent presentation of
Shakespeare's Comedy, “Much AdeI
About Nothing."
The play itself, written in 1600, is
held to be one of the best of his com-
edies and no dramatist ever lived who,
could instill such a combination of‘.
mirth. humor and philosophy into his
plays as could Shakespeare.
The plot is simple; the action rapidl

One of the results of the hearing in
New Milford yesterday in regard to the
financial affairs of the New Milford
Hat 00., was the decision of Referee
Carlton E. Hoadley, who has charge of
the proceedings in bankruptcy to have
the operation of the company's fac
tory continued for a short time,
least, under the direction of Thomas C.
‘Mlllard of this city, trustee.
The reason for this action is that
the factory has been doing a profitable
business during the past few weeks
and has many orders on hand at the
present time. Consequently it is to theI
interests of the creditors to continue
the factory in operation while present.I
business conditions exist. This was
agreeable news for the employee of the
factory, as it “5111 permit their“ set
the benefit of the fall trade and work
of which they might oth lse havoI
been deprived.
Ah stated in yesterday's paper, an
offer of $25. 000 cash for the property,
and other assets oi the company has
been received by the trustee. and was
presented to the referee during yes.
terday's hearing} but was rejected, as
the book accounts considered molletl‘i
table amount to‘ $21,000 and the ref-
eree considered the airman}; toffllmb'll
in proportion to the value of the other
assets. It is said that a better offer
may be forthcoming and that, the pos-
sibility that E16 business may be con
tinned is fairly good.
The hearing before the referee yea.
terday lasted only half an hour and
