It has not been definitely ascertained that there has been any failure in this respect, but the subject is deemed of sufficient importance to be mentioned in this report. (9) It should be an established rule to provide extensions of mains to meet demands in all cases where justified by the prospective number of users, as has been our recent practice. Protection against loss is provided in such cases by the company’s rules Nos. 9(a), 9(b) and 9(c) which provide as follows: 9(a) Ordinary extensions of mains or service pipes exceeding 100 feet: The customer or customers shall ad­vance the estimated cost of such extension; the amount paid being subject to refund on the basis of 50$ of the customers’ monthly payments for water, limited to the maximum period of ten years. 3
