We have abstained hitherto from expressing a decided
opinion in favour of any of the schemes, which have been
proposed for the better supply of the town with water,
although none have advocated more earnestly than our-
selves the importance of such a supply being procured.
Before taking, or even pledging ourselves to approval of,
any step in a matter of so grave a nature, involving, in
whatever direction it may be made, a large outlay of the
public money, we have felt it our duty to pause—to weigh
