The value of the tables on pages 103 and 104 largely consists in the fact that we are forced to admit that leakage and waste exists to a great extent, and are thus driven to the necessity of greater vigilance and more careful examinations. This is our own case at present, and I am confi- dent that Ave will soon be ab...le to locate this waste and stop it. Mr. Whitman. — From 1871 to 1887, in furnishing water to St. Louis, an hourly statement was kept of the flow of water into the distribution system.
