Holme- aim Son. who has been inspecting the Borough water works returned to Wellington to-day. He met the water works committee of the Borough Council yesterday and discussed various details. Mr Holmes will supply a detailed report from Wellington. During his stay here lie made a close examination of the main supply race from l.alce Kanieri to the reservoir. From what could be gathered. Mr Holmes is not in favour of scrapping the existing line. He believes that about three parts of il are in good older. Some did a nee from the lake, over level country, is had and should be replaced with pipes, probably concrete. The Tucker Flat section which has given so much trouble should also he replaced, probably with spun steel pipes. The wooden pipes which are taken our could he rebound by a simple process, and used to advantage along the iine. The reservoir will require considerable attention, probably to the extent of building a new container within the present walls. The suggestions appear to indicate that the total cost will be much below what appeared probable prior to the investigation, but this is a matter which will not he revealed fully till the complete report is to hand. The report is not likely to favoitr a pumping scheme, at all events nt this juncture. The Mayor (Mr Perry') and other members present, considered the general aspect fairly -at isfaetnry.
