Superintendent McVeigh wrote, say
Ing that I'm the dry season "A small
quantity of water from the Waihanau
valley is used for the Settlement dairy
cows, but pipe from the Settlement
water system could be run to the gate
| of the valley and thus provide a sub
stitute supply. He was not averse to
| surrendering the water desired. though
| expressing the opinion that the APP
| plicant overestimated the Waihanau
| supply.
To the president the main question
| seemed to be whether the Board could
| secure any of the price for the con-
| cession with which to improve Its own
| water supply.

| to the Board the proposed plumbing
| ordinance now before the Board of Su-
| pervisors. Omitting sections 2, 3, 4, .,

| ON the greater the skill the more per-
feet the work any opinion of the board
relative to those sections, would par
take of presumption"
