cities of similar size in somo sections of the city pressure pres nuro suro was so low eliat it was difficult to water witter lawns in addition the low pressure presented a terrific fire firu hazard which is morel more moro important than the convenience water hours were imposed the situation was not materially improved the point is people on a flat payment rate were careless they wasted as much water as they profitably profit bly used statistics prove this point city officials while lie lle discussing the problem pointed out that the flow of water from spring springs could be stepped up tip by installing a larger pipe from tilo the springs to the city storage tank only the main line lines into vernal still would le be anabe to handle more water everyone on a line will never be able to use their full facilities at the same time officials decided in view of the waste leaking faucets car careless oless watering etc officials announced plans to install water meters throughout the city the idea was not new now since since an ordinance went i into A effect ff i more AI than three 11 lv 11 years ago that new connections should demand installation of meters in in anticipation i of r AI the day when i meters A would 11 1 be in in stalled over the city A that time has come officials announced c ed last that the meters will cost each property owner 40 and will le be ready for use by july 1 beginning of the period of highest water demand after th that it time residents who use the mo mod most moa A water will pay the largest water bills it is as it it should be lie tie leaky I 1

red qed officials say natural differences of peoples habits will allow great differences in water use hours it appears to be a good move the water supply y to town might have to be increased greatly in in a few years to allow for expected growth anyway but meter installs t ion tion at this time seems desirable to stop expensive waste NOW WHAT 1949 T young 1949 has mado his appearance what does he
