LoNDoN's WATER SUPPLY.

The Great City sadly In Need of Better

One Of the problems demanding n
speedy solution In London Is that of
the water supply From % report re-
Gently submitted by a special commit
tee Of the county council IL appears
that matters are coming 20 crisis
much more rapidly than was expected.
Twenty years ago the different water
companies thought that the metrop0li-
tan and suburban population might pos
sibly reach total of 1900, 600. or even
5000, ,000, at some remote period. where
as il has already passed the 5,50O. 600
limit IL is plain, therefore, that all
previous estimates must be revised
Experience shows that the amount of
water passing down the Thames, cs-
pccially in dry seasons. isless than was
looked for, while the companies are
drawing sixty per cent more than they
did in 1867. No more water can be got
out of the river Lea or suburban wells,
and all schemes for reservoirs in the
valley Of the upper Thames have been
rejected as very dangerous. Another
very serious point is the danger OF poll
luton as the tide of population adj
vanccs up the stream. Most of the
available water-producing areas Of the
country have been appropriated al
ready by the larger cities, rs is proved
sufficiently by the fact that the London
city council committee and a commit
tee from birmingham are both eager TO
obtain control of the same district in
mid-Nales, with the view OF creating a
colossal reservoir. The statement that
London Is going 20 Wales for water ex-
plains the situation. What the London
committee chiefly fear is that Birming-
hmn may steal a march upon them and
obtain possession of the coveted water
shed in Wales. The London county
council has no power in the premises,

When college authorities fully recog--
