Regulation 3 :
 The word "two" was inserted between the words of" and dollars in the
sixth line.
 President : This is a section exempting churches or places of worship; the
original section said that if you only had one tap you were charged two dollars
a year, but if you had more than one tap you should be metered. The Water
Rates Committee recommended that one dollar per annum for each additional
tap be charged.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : How would that differ from a public
standpipe?
 Superintendent of Works : The idea was that in the initial stages we would
not have the meters to put in.
 President : It would be so much a tap until we got meters and then we
would have to alter these Regulations?
 Superintendent of Works : Yes, sir.
 Honourable O. D. Brisbane : Every house would be metered so it does not
make any difference.
 President : Do you want to leave the word meter or to charge a dollar for
each tap?
 Superintendent of Works : I do not know if the Crown Attorney could put
in until such tim e.................."
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : A half inch service will only carry a
half inch supply.
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : It depends on what taps you have.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : The pressure is what you have in the
mains; everybody will get that.
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : If you have low pressure additional
taps will not help, but if you have high pressure you can have several taps.
