REPORT ON WATER
IS MADE PUBLIC

Copies of the report of the water
commission TO the governor were to-
dag sent out from the executives Of
flee. The report proper is is printed
pages and is accompanied by an APP
pendix with a number of drawings ana
maps In all there are more than so
pages in the book. A bill for the con-
serration OF water supply is included
and made a part of the report.
Relative to Hillebrand Glen and the
flow of Maole stream the report says
that the popular assumption that the
run-off is so per cent of the rainfall
is erroneous and much toe high. From
data gathered the commission reports
the ayilable run-off win vary from
nothing in light rainfalls to 81 per
cent during very wet weather ana
with a mean run-off Of 20 per cent. II
adds, however, that the period of in,
vcstigation has been very short and
that such Investigations should be
continued.
The proposed bill defines an arte-
sian well, declares an uncapped arte-
sian well public nuisance. defines
waste of artesian water, makes each
days continuance Of waste after Off
cial notice separate offense, requires
records of depth and borings and fixes
a penalty Of from s35 to $500 for each
