HIGH PRESSURE WATER SUPPLY.

TO THE EDITOR Siß,—Your correspondent ' Freah Water,' writing in your issue of the 10 inst, calls Attention to a very important matter, viz, a high pressure water supply for Ashburfcon. |b is somewhat surprising that more interest has not been taken in this matter, seeing the great advantage euch a supply would be both for domesblc and fire prevention pur poses« Your correspondent writes as though the Borough Council is the only obstacle that) blocks the way to procuring this desirable objaot. He writes—' We Bhould have no difficulty in making the residents foroe the Council to provide us with an efficient 'svafcer supply. 4 Happy thought. Possibly, he thinks, the Mayor has a eupply of oold water up his sleeve and that if the resident*squares His Worship and bho oold water party ia the Council, an efficient supply may be obtained. Bub joking aside at the watery subject, I think aome of the Councillors are willing enough to try and go Si an efficient supply if they know where to get it from,, No doubts your correspondent has considered this im portant poinb and can answer the following questions :— (1) Where he would geb a permanent supply of good water from 5 (1) How he would obtain ib; (3) The ! probable cost of the scheme; (4) If the j ratepayers would sanction a loan of say £20,000 for the purpose 1 Any Information on the above poinb would be useful. Per sonally, I think we should geb expert reports on the feasibility of getting a, good high pressure supply for the town, and that it would pay the residents to go in for the , EBb.eme: lam of the opinion that we are paying much more for pumps, windmills, and repairs to same, than we ahouSd pa; if a water rate were etruck to pay off iuterest, ninkiog fund, etc. The fact that) the town has been left for days together withoub a propee supply of water, through tbs river eh&ngiog its yoUrae, and the fact, also, that bfais Ihas happened several times, within the' faflb few saonths should seriously impress the Oity Fathers and residents generally the necessity ol securing, if possible, a good permanent high pressure water supply. Trusting to we a live interesb taken in this matter.—l am, etc..
