P. tor 10 hours’ pumping. He estimated that it would require a 25 horse-power motor to pump sufficient water for the present needs o f the town, which would cost approximately $125.00 per month. He suggested, however, that a meter sys tem would no doubt prove much cheaper than the flat rate. Mr. Stoddard assured the committee that if the matter should be taken up by the town and acted upon favorably the company would bind themselves to deliver water in the town within six months. The meeting was purely iuformal, meant only as a first step towards the full consideration of the water problem. The water committee expects to socn have a complete report on a water sys tem from a competent engineer and until that is in the hands o f the com mittee no actual recommendations can properly be made.
