The application was opposed by the Borough Council and others owing to its possible effect on the water supply, but the Warden considered the project economically sound, and the opposition evidence insufficient. .Mr Dunsheath considers that the lead deposits, the only known worth while ones in the Dominion, may ultimately produce the annual. requirement of 4000 tons.
