WATER SUPPLY TO THE ME"

TROPOLIS. -
On Friday afternoon a deputation, consisting of
Members of Parliament for the metropolitan dis-
tricts, chairmen of boards of guardians, overseers,
churchwardens, and other officers of parishes, and
of delegates appointed to represent various metro-
politan parishes in the Parochial Water Supply
Association, waited upon Lord John Russell, at his
official residence in Downing-street, to explain to his
Lordship the principles of the association, and-to urge
upon him the desirableness of adopting,
through the
agency of gentlemen selected from various parishes,
measures for securing for the people a constant supply
of pure and cheap water.
The deputation consisted c f Lord Robert
Grosvenor, M.P., Sir James Duke, M.P., Sir W.
Molesworth, M.P., General Sir De Lacy Evans,
M.P., Mr. Osborne,
M.P., Mr, Masterman, M.P.,
Mr. C. Lushington, M.P., Mr. Wyld, M P., the
Rev. J. E. Gibson, M A., the rector of Bermondsey ;
Dr. Challice, chairman of the Bermondsey board of
guardians; Mr. Samuel Brown (the secretary of the
association), and other gentlemen.
Lord R. GROSVENOR,
deputation, informed the Premier that the gentlemen
present represented all the principal metropolitan
parishes, in which great intsrest prevailed relative to
the supply of water. M.P., who introduced the
Mr. WYLD,
Ml' , chairman of the association,
remarked that the delegates present were anxious
that the supply or water should be under the con-
trol of a body elected from the various parishes.
They thought parishioners should have the power of
making rates for supplying their houses with water.
He trusted that in any measure brought by the Go-
vernment before the House of Commons, provision
would be made for a continual supply
of water at high
pressure for every room or part of the house.
Lord E. Grosvenor, Mr. W. Williams, Dr. Chal-
lice, and other gentlemen, having addressed his Lord-
ship upon the many evils arising to the public health
and comfort from a deficient supply of an impure
quality
of water,
Lord J. RUSSELL said—Re
presentations have been
made in
Msjest3's Government to take the question of water
some quarters that it is the intention of her
supply into their own hands. In reference to
those representationv, I may say that the Govern-
ment have not yet come to any decision upon
the matter. The Board of Health, as you are aware,
have'had the subject under consideration, and some
communications in reference to it have been made to
Government. The Government are fully alive to the
great importance of a well regulated water supply,
but no decision has yet been come to. All that you
hove said to-lay shall receive due consideration from
them.
, The deputation then withdrew.
