agreed to, Honourable G. A. McIntosh voting against the motion.
Regulation 4 :
 Honourable O. D. Brisbane : You are making provision for houses to get so
many taps. A small house with a small value should not be given three taps or
more.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown: These pipes would be one-inch, two-
inch, or half-inch pipes?
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : It depends on the number of taps in
the house.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : Where is that?
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : That is how the official water system
 is laid down.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : It must be laid down here for us to
 know about that.
 President : Here is your house; here is the main. If you are going to put
 fifteen taps you take off from the main a sufficiently large pipe to supply the
 number of taps you want in the house.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : He might have just a small use for
 water, but he wants the convenience of having a tap upstairs.
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : I do not want a big leading pipe; I
 want a half-inch pipe; therefore I put my meter. I only use these taps
 occasionally so I want to pay for the water I use.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : What is the rate for the meter?
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : Thirty cents per thousand gallons.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : Is it possible for the man with one tapl
 to use in his bath ten times as much as the man with the meter?
