How Turkish rule has thwarted sanitary improvements in Jerusalem may bo seen from the fact that most of the inhabitants obtain their drinking water from rain-water cisterns, and the remainder from springs and wells, icc so far back as 1874 the Baroness Burdett-Coutts offered to Epend £25,000 on modern waterworks for the Holy City, provided the authorities undertook to find the £500 or £600 a year necessary for upkeep.' The oifer was declined.
