Abstract
Committee 1, Basic Data, C. A. Holmquist, Chairman. In April, 1931, Mr. Holmquist presented a report showing which of the forty-eight states issue pamphlets containing statistics of the water systems in the state. He found that less than half of the states issue such pamphlets and that among these there is such variation in method employed that he found it inadvisable to try to make use of these pamphlets in the preparation of text for Basic Data especially in view of the fact that the available pamphlets fell far short of covering the whole country. At the request of Chairman Holmquist this committee was discharged. Committee 2, Surface Water Allocation. No chairman appointed. The Committee on Water Works Practice during 1931 followed the two cases involving interstate waters which were carried to the Supreme Court of the United States, that of Massachusetts and Connecticut in regard to tributaries of the Connecticut River and of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania in regard to tributaries of the Delaware River. Papers on these two cases were published by the New England Water Works Association and reprints of these were obtained for the office of the Association for use by our committees and for future reference.
