The daily average consump­tion per person was 1,040.2 gal­lons, the report stated as against f .698.7 gallons the same month ' in 1949. This was an increase o f 341.5 gallons per person. How-1 ever, Doak said, there w as a population increase of 343 per- ; son% which accounted for some of the usage. In Victory Village, where the population jumped 298, the water ; consumption took a drop for j some reason. Residents th ere; used 21,500,400 gallons against ; 17,260,200 gallons for August 19 However the daily average con­sumption per person dropped from 48.3 gallons in 1949 to 48.3 gallons in August 1950. The same story is told of Car-1 ver P ark usage. In that area the population dropped 17 per­sons and the consumption of water dropped 93.7 gallons.
