Metering would also buy time so that the parts of the distribution system that need replacing (about 20 per cent of the entire system, Holden said), can be rebuilt by the Public Works Department itself over a period of 10 years. Holden estimated that, at current prices, outside contractors would charge 40 per cent more to rebuild the system than it would cost if the town itself did it.

His wife Cornelia joined him dustrial users have decreased their consumption, and they cannot be blamed for the doubled consumption in the past few years, Holden said.

It was pointed out by a questioner that, counting the interest that must be paid on the bond issue, the total cost of the metering program would be $400,000, including the administrative costs and the $38 cost of the individual meters, Cant this $400,000 be spent instead on rebuilding the distribution system? asked Edwin W. Milkey, a former selectman. I think that the first priority should be on increasing the quality of the water that reaches the consumer than on installing meters, Milkey said. Elwell said that if this were done, and consumption were not reduced, another water source would still have to be developed. The Undrinkable Problem If meters were installed in homes where the water was undrinkable, asked one questioner, would it be possible to delay charging them until the town cleaned up the; water? Elwell indicated that the possibility would be considered.

But he also indicated that reduced consumption would probably contribute to cleaner water by lowering the velocity at which it goes through the pipes. The issue of metering households was given a wider dimension by Mrs. Hannah Gpsman, who said, I think that it is Almost immoral to charge flat rates because this means that a small householder, who may not use much water, is subsidizing a large householder who consumes far more and we are still producing inadequate revenue. I don know of anything else you can buy by paying a flat rate and getting all that you want. Town Representatives will vote on the issue during a Special Town Meeting on July 10, at 7:30 p.m.

He was taken to a was have to borrow from banks and the sewer department to pay our bills, and we have a lot of accumulated debts. Four Alternatives Elwell added that he planned to ride with the rates for one year after the meters are installed; then we will have to adjust them. Elwell listed four alternative answers to the crisis: to use the Retreat Meadows wells on a regular basis, pay to install a filtration system on them, and pay 10 times more for the cost of delivering this water; accelerate the rebuilding program by having Uie work done by an outside general contractor in less time than in the current 10 year schedule at a cost of 40 per cent more; do both of the first two alternatives at the same time; or install water meters to reduce consumption, The core of the oppositions argument was presented by Former Selectmen Chairman Bryan E.

Warren, who said that his house was experimentally metered several years ago as part of a study. He said that, had he been obligated to pay, his bill would have risen from $8.25 per quarter to $13. But I had to waste at least one-third of that water by opening three faucets and running it out of hoses until it cleared up, Warren said. I estimate that I had to waste 720 gallons per hour. Id hate to pay more for my water until we get the water cleaned up.

Warren blamed this situation on the introduction of phosphates into the system. The phosphates were intended to get rust out of the pipes, but have yet to clear them up. His drew applause from many in. the audience. Laughter and boos greeted Holdens response to a question about schools allowing faucets to run to clear water.

Holden said, but its metered, while members of the audience pointed out that the townspeople must pay the cost through taxes. Another questioner asked, If the flat rate were doubled, would the revenue pay to rebuild the distribution system? Holden said, I havent worked that out. Elwell said that if the flat rate were raised by $10, it would barely be sufficient to meet our expenses right now, without capital improvements. Questioned Atty. Charles R.

Cummings asked for a discussion of the fact that commercial and industrial users, who are now metered, pay rates on a declining scale less per unit the more they use. Elwell and Holden agreed that this did not contribute to saving water, and that these should be adjusted, but Brattleboro Memorial Hospital and the Retreat were the towns largest water consumers, and that the town may have an obligation to subsidize such institutions to a degree.

There most any summer afternoon a passerby will probably see the old naval hero lounging in his canvas, chair with his binoculars beside him or perhaps puttering jvith his tomato plants. In his study, whose curtains carry pictures of famous ships, hang a barometer, a ships clock that sounds the bells, a water color of the Indianapolis given him by his men, his sword presented him by his father when he was commissioned an ensign, as well as the treasured photographs. Elsewhere in the house are portraits of the Admiral in his full dress, and a large case of his medals. What does he think of the recent mining of Haiphong harbor? It should have been done years ago. What can be done to end the jWar in Vietnam? If I had all the facts before me and knowledge of those who are making the decisions now, then I might give you an answer.

Adm. Hewitts study is lined with pictures of the great men he worked with in World War including General Patton, General' Eisenhower, Admiral Stark and Admiral Cunningham of the Royal Navy with whom he served closely. He is pictured with the late King George of England, who made him a Knight Commander of the Bath at a field ceremony in Italy. Pictures tell that he received the Legion of 'Honor and the Croix de Guerre from France; the Order of Kutuzev First Class from Russia the Navy Cross with a gold star and the Distinguished Service Medal from his own country, as a picture of Franklin D. Roosevelt shows.

He was decorated as well by Tunis, Ecuador, Greece, Netherlands, and Belgium. In April 1945 Vice Admiral Hewitt became a full Admiral with four stars on his flag. The Hewitts had lived and traveled everywhere. Strife and change were a way of life. Now they wanted peace and quiet and recognition of themselves for what they were, intelligent and vital people who had had enough of rank and stress.and adulation.
