OUR WATER SUPPLY.

The above heading covers a somewhat large question, and one that has been much before the ratepayers of late. Our water supply is m two sections — an underground supply, from which by means of household pumps, our drink ing and culinary water is drawn ; and the o^ar supply brought from the river, which m the first instance gives us the ornamental water m the Domain, and the supply for fire pre vention and flushing purposes that is drawn from and flows down all the streets cm the lower side of the rail way. The streets on the upper side are not supplied from the Domain reservoir but from channels brought down specially to suit the He of the upper Btrets. It has long been known that the lower streets were m the best condition as tegards supply, and that when a fire occurred there was, all going well, plenty of water, but that the upper streets were not so well sup plied. On Thursday evening of last week an alarming proof this face was given by a test made by the Fire Brigade. On that evening the Brigade had a wet practice, and while very good work was done m the matter of drill, and proving the condition of the plant, it was found that m one particular part of the town, the four blocks just below the hospital, it took the engine a whole hour to get enough water to play on any of the houses m the vicinity. Tiere are several houses m that locality, and after the test of the Brigade, which showed that the supply was quite inadequate to keep the engine working, householders m the locality will not feel particularly comfor fable. Ifc was bad enough to know that the flow of water down Peter Street and others adjoining, was very often intermittent — sometimes stopping altogether. But to find that after the brigade had turned on all the water available on the occasion of their experiment, they could not keep the large steamer going for more than a minute at a time is surely an alarming condition of things The fact is the flow of water along any of the streets at that end of the town is nob sufficient to be of any use m case of^ fire, and unless water can be stored m sufficient quantities to insure enough to supply the brigade for say half an hour, it would be simply waste of time to take their plant out m ease of a fire m the locality referred to. A suggestion has been made to sink a reservoir or tank near the centre of the four block*, capable of holding enough water to keep the engine going, for a space of time sufficient to allow the engine and the Brigade fair play m doing their work. Whatever the value of this suggestion, ifc is to be hoped the Borough Council will make proper in quiries and have the matter put right.

The practice — which of late haß become prevalent— of giving bot fly remedies or ordinary colio drinks, without proper dis- crimination the moment a horse is taken bad cannot be too severely oondemned. Many a valuable horse has been sacrificed through the owner not understanding simpla symptoms So-called rear rdies, inimical to life under certain conations, are ad- ministered, with the reßult that the disorder assumes an acute fcrm, the owner becomes alarmed, but alas !it is often too late. W I Kingston has been wonderfully successful during the late epidemio among horses. Veterinary medicine can he obtained at all hours, either a* his Veterinary Forge, Wills Street, or at Mb private residence, Grey Stree'e, near High School. Horses (only) attended upon the shortest notice. Testi- monials can be seen upon application.— (advt) 10 19
