the water and light department, thinks Normal would use more water if soft water is made avail able. Volume of water consumed would Increase, of course, as the popula tion increases. Reduce Cost $2,000. Figuring costs as of today, how ever, instead of expected future needs, one would better use 600,00" gallons dally Instead of 700,000. That would make the annual pur chase price of Bloomlngton water slightly under $19,000 Instead of $21,000.

And that would reduce the estimated coet of Bloomlngton wa ter by $2,000. Previous articles have shown how the comparative cost of the two water sources could be leveled off with, the score favoring Bloom' lngton water by $700. With the $2,000 difference in favor of Bloomlngton water shown in this article, it throws the annual cost balance in favor of Blooming' ton water by $2,700. The next article will deal with depreciation, not figured in the Greeley Hansen report. Missionary Tells Of Work in Korea Dr.

Previous articles have ahown hat Normal doej not use 700,000 gallon of water dally. Correction of more than 200 leaks has reduced pumpage considerably.

The average pumpage from 1932 through 1940 was 674,000 gallons dally. The 1940 figure, however, was 745,000 'tiions. Pumpage was reduced 165,000 gallons in one month after major leaks were corrected. If that sav lag can be maintained, the actual pumpage will fall below 600,000 gal onj daily. Use More Soft Water.

Greeley ft Hansen anticipate greater use of water in Normal if the consumers get soft water. "For the purpose of determining future pumpage rates," the report says, "we have assumed first, that large leaka will not develop or will not be allowed to continue; second, that pressure will be maintained at a somewhat higher level than in the past; and, third, that there will 6' some increase in the per capita use of water, not only domestic but also commercial and possibly industrial.
