MIR. Waterhouse said he wished to
ask the executive regarding the
water supply. Were they think Dg
of sinking an artesian well, or could
not some other source of supply be
drawn upon. The supply at present
was SO short that houses could not
draw the necessary daily supply.
The matter was an important one
upon which the public desired to be
informed.
Minister King explained that the
interior department was making al
rangpments to meet the deficiency as
rapidly as possible. The trouole
was the mains were too small to allow
of being pumped into directly; Were
they eight or ten ipches in size this
could be done.
Mr.. Waterhouse said that the fact
the pipes Were empty large portion
of the time, he thought, would allow
of pumping iuto them. People were
without water and something should
be done.
Vice-President Hatch read the
following requisitiOn from Colonel
Soper which was referred to the
