Tlig Borough authorities discovered a shortage of water in the reservoir last evening and it was necessary to cut off the town supply for a period. These recurring incidents emphasise the urgency of securing an adequate and stable supply equal t>> all requirements, so as to remove all risk and danger.

The ship offered by the British Government would have cost as muclfas her value in alterations.
