e nt occurred at the 1 mcct i n » last Tuesb I:cn Cr Warren with proceeded to recount of the group of inWBBBBfF, businessmen who had experimental bore in Domain for the purtesting out the existence of water supply in that vicinity.Cr Warren said that water, had been struck at 28ft. and the bore 9

had been continued to 150 ft. where blue themal mud had been encountered. Water was there in reasonable quantities and could he pumped up but it was—cold! He wondered if at the forthcoming Show the boring plant which would be on display could not be utilised in the Do-

We have gained in experience and altogether we had a very interesting day.

Cr Sullivan said the men concerned were to be congratulated. In spite of his own lack of success he was still positive that a hot stream ran under th<; Borough ? but just where it was, was another matter.
