A. Yes, sir. Q. Also where the production system is by gravity rather than by ptmsplag. A. If gravity should be obtained, that should be part of that study in relation to its storage availability. Q. Gravity flow is a very favorable system* A. It«e the most economical way of getting water there* MR. HB8WXG&* I have no further questions. BY MR. gAMSQIft $|* Mr. Anderson, counsel for the Water Com­pany brought out that you have not made a study to determine whieh cause brought on the result when you testified that there was a lack of water pressure at certain periods of the day. Are you convinced in your own mind as an engineer that at least one or more of those causes did bring ©n that lack of pressure? A. Yes, sir. This, too, is my own opinion—whenever water pressure is suddenly cut off or reduced in volume, there must be a reason for that. The reason could be the use, as I stated before, greater than the capacity of the lines to provide it or greater than the combined capacity of the lines, together with existing pressures. It could be caused by anyone of those things. X am thoroughly convinced that the lowering of the water pressures created by the use almost simultaneously by the various property owners showed that there was an inadequacy
