CORRESPONDENCE.

Devonport Water Supply.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—ln last night's Star Mr John Milne takes me to task for convening the meeting of ratepayers on Monday evening, which he characterises as "a very uncalled-for pro ceeding." Unfortunately for Mr Milne's reputation for consistency, it happens that about three months since I received a petition signed by over sixty ratepayers requesting me to call a meeting to take into consideration the question of water supply for the district, and the very first name on the list of signatures ia that of John Milne, so that it would appear this gentleman's conversion to tho extraordinary theof-y that the privileges of the rate* payers are confined to electing the Mayor and Councillors, and paying the piper, is •of very recent occurrence: When 1 received this petition the' matter of water supply was under consideration by the Council, Mr Knox having been instructed to submit plans and estimates for a scheme the cost of which would not exceed £10,000, and I replied to the petitioners that I did not think it necessary to call a public meeting until some decision bad been arrived at by the Council, when I would lay the proposals before the rate^ payers. The Council recently resolved that Mr Knox's scheme involving as it does the expenditure of £13,00Q,is beyond the means of the borough. Stits practi cally meant shelving this scheme. I there upon moved that Mr Knox be instructed to submit amended proposals, showing how the cost cojuld bo kept within £10,000, but although my motion was carried I felt convinced both from the views expressed by a majority of the Council, and the feeling of prejudice against the engineer existing in the minds of many of the ratepayers; that it was" almost hopeless to expect to got a vote of the required majority in favour of Mr Knox's plans, even if he succeeded in reducing his estimate below the £10,000. I need Kcaroely say I do not share in the prejudice against. Mr Knox ; on the contrary, I believe that his scheme is thoroughly sound, and his estimates reliable, but for all that, I recog nise the right of the ratepayers who pro vide the funds to cay how and by whom their water supply shall be carried out. I therefore decided that the time had now arrived for hearing tho voice of the people on the subject, and accordingly called them together, and I contend that my course of action was the right one, Mr Milne to the contrary notwithstanding. I did not inspire Mr Pea^ocke's resolution, nor had I aqy knowledge that he intended proposipg this or any resolu tion, and as I informed the meeting I had not in any way endeavoured to influence their decision ; bufc having heard a rumour that the" result was likely to take the shape that it did, I informed Mr Knox .prior to the meeting 50 that he migtit be prepared". There Was no occasion fdt* any one defending tlje engineer; he is quite com petent to defend himself, arid probably after reading Mr Milne's letter Will be1 inclined to say "Save me from nry_ friends.". Mr Milne'sendeavoMttoestabliah a parallel between the cases of the Harbour Board trtid the Borough is unhappy, as I fancy the majority of folk will be inclined to think that ifc would be decidedly to the ad vantago of the public were the proceedings of the Harbour Board moro frequently re viewed by the ratepayers. Unfortun ately the/ law does not require that thd consent of tho ratepayers should bo obtained by the Board before raising a loan, or probably we . would find the ratepayers saying like the people of Devonport " Show us who is your engineer, and what you are going to do with the money before we trust you with it. "--Yours, etc., M. Niccol, Mayor of Devonport).— September 16.

(To tho Editor.) Sir, —There is an evident desire on the part of a small clique at Devonport to make capital oub of tho failure to obtain a satis factory Wafer supply from the well. This at election time, if done honestly with due regard to truth,might be considered a venial office ; but to state, as has been done, that tKe experiments rnado were all due to tho " fad " of one man, is both tin usb and untrue. That is a small matter of

no importance ab all to those- who spread the falsehood, so long as it served its pur pose, which was to pefc rid of a member of theUouncil who was in their way. Amonient's reflection reveals the absurdity of one man ruling' in an assembly of ten, bub the ruse succeeded,and that was jusbilicationenough. The Mayor explained to the burgesses in a public meeting assembled on.the 14th injfc, ho\v the Council were led to make ex periments upon the well, but an explana tion was just the one thing that was nob wanted, and he was very rudely interrupted, and, strange to say, the papers in their re ports of the meeting made no reference to this explanation at all. I therefore seek permission to pive some information upon the subject. Many old residents of the district believe firmly that there is plenty of good water running to waste under their feet into the sea which might be utilized at a trifling cost. There is ample evidence to justify their opinion, and when Councillors first came to consider the question of water supply they were told on all sides that they would never secure a vote to bring the water from Lake Takapuna, until this local source was thoroughly tested. That then was the difficulty the Council had to face.hpw to get the burgesses of one mind as to the source of supply, and they determined to test the public well under the willows, which had been the chief source of supply through all the dry seasons for many years and which was never known to fail. A small sum was voted for the work, and the engineer set to work. He was going "to make short work of emptying that well," but he very soon dis covered lie had a big job on hand, and the bill of costs wa9 some £50 or £60. The posi tion was then worse than before. The volume of water was so great that tlio Council resolved to mako a more thorough test, and ,t'5Q or i'6o more, it was thought, would do it thoroughly. The result of that second test was disas trous. After trowing with a 6d pump a very large volume of water continuously for about a fortnight, the water developed a brackisH taste (no doubt it always had this taste). The Council then did what they ought to have done at first, gob the water analysed. The report of the analyst, Mr Pond, was unfavourable for domestic use. This is the point wherein the Council were to blame, and they were all equally to blame for not first testing the quality of the water; but only quantity was thought of although I myself pointed out the danger of what afterwards happened at one of Our first meetings upon the subject, and I then recommended that a woll should be sunk at some point to the eastward of Vic toria Mount on the scoria (where it is known there is a large flow of water), und if successful, pumps should be there erected, and at any timo, if this source should be insufficient, pipes could then bo laid from the Lake into the well, and the water would flow by gravitation, and no money then would be wasted. This view of mine was not entertained by a majority of the Council, and the well by the willows was selected in preference ; but I have seen no reason to niter my first opinion upon tho matter, as I am informed the Lake is 11 feet 3 inches above high water mark.—Yours faithfully, William I'milcox.
