(Note: 3/4/86 refer to Mr Jones for report: JY. Mr Hitchcock. With reference to the attached - I called at the Hon. Mr Norton's office this morning and in his absence saw his confidential clerk to whom I gave every information. The meter card complained of is a very old one dated 29 Dec. 1884 and should read thus on 31 Dec 33.000 gals.; on 30 Nov 27.000 gals.; Consumption 6.000 gals. The meter (Siemens Patent by Guest & ?Glirnnes) has been working very steadily for the last two years. the largest consumtion registered during any one month - (and then in the height of summer) being 10.000 gals. The gross consumption registered during the last two years is 113.000 gals. or less than 5000 gals per month. The whole premises are under meter - and the Hon Mr Norton being - considering his premises - a most moderate consumer - I take the libery of recommending that his meter be retained for garden purposes only: HHitchcock, meter reader;7/4/86. Mr Norton's meter is so placed as to measure all the water used on his premises. It should be cut off and placed so as to only measure that use for the garden: JTJ;7/4/86. 1/5/86 infd. by City Engineer)LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYes
