IMPROVED WATER STTPLY. Upon the reoommendation of the Chairman the authority decided not to proceed this year wit't the compulsory powers for receiving an improved water supply for certain portions of Lkaneamlet, &c., because the time :being now so short, great expense would be incurred and several difficulties would have to be overcome. The Surveyor, in compliance with the instructions of the authority, had examined and now reported upon the !source of the water supply available for Cwmllwyd, Dunvant, Sketty, and a portion of Swansea Higher. There were three scheme*, either of which might be adopted --the Cwtallwyd gravitation scheme, the Cwmllwyd pumping scheme, or the Greentands scheme. The average maximum supply of Cwmllwyd was 43,000 gallons, and at Greenlands .11,000, and the minimum quantities were 6,100 and 1,300 gallons respectively. Mr Naysmith pointed out that, 3oroparing the iunree given by the surveyor as to the amount, of water now available from Cwmllwyd with thaw taken in former years, they were hardly reliable, seeing that they did not appear consistent with the quantities now given. Mr Bishop was afraid it would be unwise to act upon either of three schemes until they had some further information. The Chairman propoeed that the Greenland, &Amite be adopted, and that a committee beeppointed to see the proper parties, and arrange with them t .carry it out. Mr David (teen seconded. Mr Nayinnith moved an amendment that a committee be adopted to inquire further into the scheme and report it to the authority. Mr Bishop seoonded, and chiefly on the ground that the Greenland spring war not high miotigh to supply Skint,. Mr M. B. Williams supported the amendment. Mr W. J. Rees thought it would be advisable that the authority should take the water front both sources —Cweillwyd and Greeulands. He knew the great difficulty they had in supplying Swansea, sod he tiousn'en-d it better to have too mush Water than too little. (Hear, hear). Mr J. T. D. TA, welyi pointed out that a por• tion of the Cwmllwyd water was alr•ady located to Fore•i4 Fitch, and be did not think the neemile f Sketty would be prepared to pa'. £3.000 for water, only • part of which they obtained. Afttr some further discussim, it was unauimonely decided ti approve of both iseheines,ao.: a committee, ennteetitig of the chairman, Mr Bishop. Mr W.
