ROB RoY's HOUSE PRESERVED
Glasgow Water Scheme, Which Meant
lts Disappearance, Rejected BY
House Of Lords.

London.-By the rejection of the
Glasgow water scheme the house Of
lords has met the objections urged on
esthetic and sentimental grounds.
Glasgow sought by the bill to draw ad-
ditional water from Loeb Voil and
Loeb Dome. To enable this to be
done the levels of the lochs would
have had to be raised about fifty feet
and large area possessing many in
teresting landmarks would have been
submerged.
Rob Roy's birthplace and the place
where he IL said to have died would
have disappeared under the waters.
while his grave in the churchyard Of
Balquhidder and q cave where he IL
supposed to have taken refuge would
have been endangered. Lovers of
Scott and Rob Roy alike rejoice that
precious associations have so for
tunately been preserved.
