Probably about one-fifth of l the distressing fever and teasing that quantity is used for trade purposes, coti"�h. leaving from twenty-four to twenty-six gallons per head daily for domestic use. This Seems a large amount, and there is no doubt that at least half of it is abso- lutely wasted. Considering that the price of water comes to something like £25 per million gallons. it will be seen i that a saving of 8,000 gallons or so per head every year would represent a con- siderable amount of money.
