What population figures did you use to arrive at that? A. Twenty-five thousand. Actually, that's a little In­crease. In computing that, using 12 million gallons--If you divide it by 25,000 population, gives you 480. I took the other figure In round numbers, which came from Page 4 of my exhibit, which would increase it to approximately a little over 490, so X called it an average of 490. X did not Intend It to be con­strued as an actual net figure, but merely as an example of what the consumption would amount to. Q. You used an average consumption of 12,174,971 gallons In a population of 25,000 people. A. Yes, sir. What X really Intended at the time that X prepared that was to take an average of each sheet, but I was considerably pressed for time and so I didn't go into accurate detail on that. Q. How did you arrive at your figures for the dally flow of water through the sewage plant of 5,588 million gallons a day? A. •That was prepared by Mr. A. B. Lackner, who is Bn- gineer in charge of our disposal plant. He is present in the room, and if you desire to have him testify as to how he ob­tained it, I am sure he will, but I know he took the readings from the meter recordings. Q,* But you don't know yourself how he read it and the figures? A. Ho, sir 5 he can give you the details on that
