ILUIPSriUI) WATER M.-PPLY. ■» A meeting of ratepayers iv the Hamp- sleid town district was held m the Orange Hall last n'ght, at which about thirty weie present. Mr J. H. Maynard, Chairman of the Town Board, presided, and introduced the special business for which the meeting was called— to ascertain the mind of the ratepayers as to what conrae should be pur- sued m trying to proonre a supply of water for Hampstead district. He stated what had been done at recent meeting* of the Board on the .subject, and gave theg-'stif an interview he had had with the county engineer m regard to the aoheme by which the engineer suggested Hampitead could ba supplied from the Allenton aoheme. The engineer had said that the whole thing would be very muoh Icsb expensive of Hamp. stead went m with Allenton and formed one irrigation district. Mr McElrea epoke at considerable length on the subject, and went over all the history of the water question m Hampstead for the last ten years. He did not oppose a water supply. He would like to tee one, whether it was irrigation, partial irrigation, or only a channel Bupply, and he would like to see concrete channels m the Hampstead streets before he ceased to be a resident there, but he would b - greatly averse to the Counoil having control of the supply and its dis- tribution m the town distriot. He would like to ace lhe water brought to a certain point by the Council at a certain ooßt to the town di3tric\ but after that, the town board to have control. He would not allow the water to be taken through his property, unless under the Publio Works Act, and instanced v. recent case m which a ratepayer who had given bis consent m this way was fined £5 bdoause he elected to shorten the race to the improvement of his paddock, but without having first asked leave of the County Counoil. Besides, after the water has run for a certain number of yeara the owner of the land is deprived of any light to stop it. He njoved to approach the Oounty Council with a view to Beouring a water supply that would be under the Hampstead Beard's control, Mr G. iveeley seconded. Mr Andrew Young was qt ite sure the County Council would not relinquish ccntrol of the water. '1 he Chairman said the <ff cb of this motion would be to throw the whole thing back again indefinite y. He was sute the Council would not relii quieh oontrol ot the water. And suppose the Council wanted to supply the people down below Hampstead, the divided control won.d be an obstacle to : hat. Concrete cbanncid were nice things to bave, and so were many other things nice to havo, but the district had no funds to spend on concrete channelling, and which could only be procured by means of a loan, and this he did no' favor. He had always found the Council very reasouab'e, aud had every confidence m them. If the ratepayers were really m earnest be thought they should put themselves m the hands of the County Council and their engineer, and they would get everything done to their satisfaction. A ratepayer asked how they were to get rid of tbe water after it had been brought m. They could not force the water upon .nothtr man's pioperty. In view of this he favoured the County C unci! having oontrol. Mr J. W. Hardley moved tbat the Hampstead Town Board be authorised to !^ke the nece sary steps to join witb illentou ward and be proclaimed an irrigation district. This was seconded by Mr Andrew Young, nid after Mr Geo. Andrews had spokon m Uvour of it, the Chairman put it to the mettir.g, and it was carried. A vote of thanks to the Chairman closed ; he meeting. Holloway's Pills - and Ointment. — A moat wonderful building up of the con- stitution takes pi ice after Holloway's famous medicine* have been used for a reasonable i.ime. They are pre-eminent above all other r medics, more particularly for the cure of iver complaints ' and disorders of the itomac.. ; cirpenters, bricklayeis, &c. would find the Ointment invaluable for curing wounds, cuts, sores, and bruises. Men m ill conditions of life find it of incalculable oenefit, as it penetrates internally, and thus strikes at the root of the ailment. The Pills act like magic m curing low spirits, and they repel all attacks on the nerves through excitement, excessive heat, brain worry con- sequent on business troubles, &c. They purify the blood, and give a new lease of strength to the constitntion. ii E W A R D.
