Suggests I'niversal Metering Asserting that the $273,000,000 cast of this protect would be a stag gering burden tor the taxpayers to bear until municipal finances are li Mr Riegelman suggested to the civic leaders that the investment be deferred or postponed.

As an alternative he offered a plan universal water metering to reduce the unnecessary use and the preventable waste of water. "The water department estimates that it will reduce the per capita con.sumpt.ion from 134 to about 105 gallons a day. the speaker said. "The dependable supply would be sufficient under universal metering up to the end of 1949. In that year the saving would be 193 million gallons daily.

Thus saving, with the 110 millions added from Rondout and Staten Island, would permit the postponement of the opening of any new major source of supply for about 13 years." Sees 34 Millions Savins in 15 Years Citing figures, Mr. Riegelman explained that the metering system would save New York $34,000,000 during the next 15 years. He also emphasized the fact that the cost to the private home consumer and commercial consumer would be less than under the present flat rate. Commissioner Maurice P. Davidson of the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity.

In a brief speech, painted a slightly less alarming pictun of the present water crisis. He declared that the city does not face any drought at present, especially since Its three vast reservoirs at Arhokan. Schoharie and Croton are brimming over with some 355 billions gallons of water reserves. "We could come out of the worst drought possible," he said, "with our still 25 percent full." Davidson I'rges Delaware System He agreed with Mr. Riegelman, however, that the constant and dependable supply is seriously diminishing and said that on the basis of 1929 consumptior.

we are theoretically 100 million gallons a day short at the present time. He declared that he favored the idea of universal metering, but felt that there should be as little delay as possible in getting Delaware Among the civic organizations represented at the luncheon were the Allied Civics of Rockaway, the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, Central Brooklyn Mid-Day Club.
