THE WATER COMMITTEE

The proceedings of the Water Committee included an ela-
borate report from Mr. Duncan, the water-engineer, on the
subject of an additional supply of water from Green-lane,
which the committee had, at the last meeting of the Council,
been requested to consider. The report was to the effect that,
having regard to the altered circumstances of the case—to
the fact that the works which would make an additional sup-
ply from Green-lane available could not be completed until
the Ist of March—that the want of water was less felt in the
winter than in the summer months, and that there was every
reason to believe that the water from Rivington Pike would
be available by the Ist of April. The engineer could not take
the responsibility of recommending, at this moment, the addi-
tional expenditure which, in the then state of affairs, and
with the information then before him, he. had suggested in
December, 1854. Upon this report the committee recom-
mended that the additional works in Green-lane be not now
constructed.

Mr. BENNETT gave many reasons, of a practical character,
for disbelieving that the llivington Pike supply would be
available by the time stated, and believing it better not to run
any risk of a deficiency of water in the next summer, proposed
that the recommendation made by Mr. Duncan, in December,
1854, be forthwith carried out.
Mr. FERNIHOUGII seconded the motion.

Mr. WOODRUFF, a member, and Mr. HoLr, the chairman
of the committee, expressed their determination to yote for
