The satisfaction that should be felt discloses also the advisability of estimating such receipts conserva- tively, as has been done, and the wis- dom of making a full, generous al- lowance for the expenses that may have to be met. A noted writer do-i clared the other day in a magazine| article that “Hope is a Liar,” and| advised people not to rely upon hcpo} alone. Many men take issue with some of the things this man said, but the wisdom of making up a budget without relying upon amounts we “hope” will come’ in, is evident.

The cost of laying mains and in- stalling other fixtures was about $11,- 000. Residents of Berlin whose homes are connected with the mafns are now | using between 7,000 and 8,000 cubic feet of water daily. The revenue to| New Britain is betwcen $7 and $8 | daily, or about $2,15656 a year, which is not a bad return on an investment of $11,000, as those who take “flyers” in the stock makret will testify, This revenue will increase yearly because many more residents of Ber- lin and the Kensington district de- sire to have running water in their homes and, before long, hardly a| house in the town which can get it,| | will be without this convenience.
