Tee Warn SUPPLY.—Sinos the analysis which WSII
made of a number of samples of drinkhig water taken
from various parts of the town, and which dischwed in
some instanoes • far from satisfactory condition of the
water, several inhabitants have mooted the question of
providing • water supply for the town. Oonsidering,
however, the limited area of Wimborne at prount, any
artificial supply can only be made at a costly price to
the ratepayers. As building operations are constantly
going on there is no doubt that are long the town will
have assumed proportions demanding such a supply,
but until that time arrive, the best plan will be to
remedy existing defects; rather than saddle the parish
with heavy rates. More than one member of the
Board of Guardians entertain the Idea of an immediate
water supply.
