 Honourable Member for Grenadines: That will be additional to the service
you have; that does not go on for twenty-four hours.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : Does that affect the service?
 Superintendent of Works: No.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : So the idea you gave of a different size
pipe for the service is not right?
Honourable Acting Crown Attorney : If you want to have your fifty taps nobody
objects to that.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : But you are going to charge me for
each tap I put on.
 Honourable O. D. Brisbane: I object to the extra charge for a shower
 (subsection (d) ).
 President : It is a necessity, not a luxury.
 Superintendent of Works : The Trinidad figure is sixty cents for a shower.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : Trinidad has no water; we have plenty
of water here; we do not want to follow Trinidad in that.
 Honourable W. A. Hadley : That can come off.
 Honourable O. D. Brisbane : Nothing comes off once it goes on.
 President : It is a question whether in fact the total is a reasonable levy on
the people using the water or not.
 Honourable Acting Crown Attorney: Look at the bath and look at the
 charges. You do not think these baths would use more water than a shower? I
 think these charges too low.
 Superintendent of Works : I would like to see the filling of the baths cut out
 altogether.
 Honourable Member for Kingstown: I agree with that.
 President : No shower?
 Superintendent of Works : Just leave the shower and say that the filling of
 baths is not allowed.
 Honourable W. A. Hadley : You would have to eliminate those baths.
 Superintendent of Works : Eliminate those exceeding one hundred gallons.
 Honourable O. D. Brisbane : Yes. I objected to this question of paying extra
 for a shower. If you have three taps in your house, why can't you make one a
 shower?
 Honourable Member for Grenadines: It is fifty cents for each tap; the
 shower is an extra tap.
 Honourable O. D. Brisbane : Why mention the shower at all?
 President : Mr. Brisbane raises a point that we should not have any showers.
 Honourable O. D. Brisbane : Not should not have any showers but what
 about having a tap. What is the difference between a shower and the taps
 overhead when you bathe under the water coming down. Suppose somebody
 knocks it off and you are paying for a shower !
 President: Mr. Brisbane is moving that we have no charge for a shower.
 Superintendent of Works: That means that a shower can be classed as a
 tap.
 President : Do you want to delete (ii), (iii), and (iv) ?
 Honourable Member for Kingstown : Is that right with the big supply we
 have? You are asking a man not to use it? We should insist that all premises be
 metered and charge so much for the water.
 President: But we cannot meter in advance. In the meanwhile can we
 accept this principle.
 Honourable 0. D. Brisbane : How much would a house with three taps pay?
 Mr. Grant can you tell us?
