Water Supply.

At present the city is supplied with water from the numerous artesian wells, one being found on almost every property. Therefore, the council has not provided any special water supply. It has been decided, however, to take a poll on a proposal to raise a water-supply loan, with a first instalment of £7000. The scheme formulated embraces about four miles and a half of streets. It is proposed to pump the water to a tank on to a tower, 70 feet high, by means of power generated from an electrical plant at the destructor.
