BORING FOR WATER
BRIGHT BOROUGH INTERLUDE TESTING DOMAIN AREA When Cr Warren furtively requested the use of some 100 gallons of Borough water to assist in the test boring in the Domain for the purpose of proving or disproving the existence ol' a body of ho'l water in that vicinity, lie was the subject of a barrage of good-natured banter, Cr Sullivan sitting volt-faced throughout . "Well" rejoined Cr "I'll admit tha'l its a gamble but even if we strike an artesian supply of cold water it will not be wasted!" He added that a group of interested persons had found the funds for a tentative bore and were pre : pared to, go ahead wi'Lh it right away. The Mayor observed that after all it was pleasing to note, so much public spiritcdness and lie felt that those interested should be given every encouragement. The application was granted.
