A movement is being started among
the people of this part of the valley to
install waterworks which can be of
benefit to every farmer. The plan as
outlined at meeting held last week is
to lay pipe line from just below Ce-

length of the valley where it can be
tapped by all the farmers along the
route and thus supply good domestic
water. They will also consider plan
to consolidate with Cedaredge and
carry the line of pipe to point well
above Cedaredge and thus supply the
entire valley with good water system
There is no place in the country where
water for domestic use can be obtained
SO easily as in this valley.
