The Feilding Star. Published Daily. TUESDAY, JAN. 16, 1894. ARTESIAN WATER.
The fact that the Feildinq burgesses are inclined to assist the Mayor and Borough Council in their attempt to obtain a supply of artesian water, has already attracted some outside attention and a gentleman who has had much success in that class of work in other parts of the colony examined the ground yesterday. He was of the opinion that at a depth of not less than two hundred feet a plentiful supply could be obtained. As theappliances now used are a vast improvement on the primitive means employed when the iirst attempt was \ made, the cost would not only be less, but the boring would be made to any required depth with absolute certainty. Of course we are not at liberty to state what that cost would be, seeing that there are other intending contractors in the field, but we may say that the estimate is surprisingly small. We are glad indeed to see that the Mayor, Mr Carthew, is likely to have the very best means placed at his disposal should it be decided to undertake the work. The necessity for it has long been patent to every observant man in the Borough.
