WATER SUPPLY SCHEME ~~ MANGERE CROSSING. £7OOO LOAN PROPOSAL. A meeting of the. ratepayers interested in the proposed water supply , scTlfemo.*t the Mangere Crossing end ' .of the. Mangere riding, convened, by , the Manukau"County Council, was attended" Fy about 30 ratepayers. - Or. House, member for the Mangere riding, was voted to the chair, and he outlined the scheme for the ,' benefit of those present. 1 Mr. W. J. Lopdell, county engineer, gave details from the report submit- ' ted. i After general discussion, it was ' unanimously agreed that the council should proceed with the loan proposal, and take a poll as soon as possible. ' The estimate provided by the engi- \ neer was for the sum of £6OOO, but the ratepayers decided to increase ' the amount by an extra £IOOO, mak- ( ing £7OOO in all, to allow for larger piping and future extension in one or j two places. 3 Summary of Pipe-laying Cost. • Mr. Lopdetl's Lengths. \ Massey Road from railway to Roberteon Road—76so feet of 3in castiron main on one side of road at lis per running yard, £1402 10s; 2000 feet of Vjin. piping for house connections, at Is per running foot laid, £100; 3000 feet of piping for sub-main at Is 2d per running foot laid, £175.

Total, 589 9s 4d. But it is certainly advisable to use 4in. main in place of the 3in. thus giving a better preasure, cleaner bore, and availability for fire-fight-ing purposes. 7650 feet of 4in. cast-iron main at 14s per yard, £1785. Same length of Sin. costs £1402 10s. This brings total to £4,714 lis 4d. Station Road (from Mansftn's Garage to Papatoetoe boundary).—sloo feet of piping for main on one side of road at 2s per running foot laid, £510; 1000 feet of »4in. piping for sub-main at Is 2d per running i'«ot laid, £SB 6s 8d; 2000 feet of Hm. piping for h«use connections at Is per running foot laid, £IOO.

Total, £306 6s Bd. The only way in which this figure could be reduced is perhaps in the house connections. Total V 2 in. pipe allowed, £9500 feet, £475. Say there are 300 houses and 20 feet to each connection, 6000 feet at Is, £3OO. Total 5.175. Metering.—Allowing 300 meters. Ellis and Co's quote was: 655, find a 4 in, 70s. It is advisable to use :: 4 in. throughout, this giving a clear- ' or /low. 300 meters at, sav, £4 placed in position, £I2OO. Allowing contingencies, raising i loan, etc, £260 8s Bd. Total, £6OOO. It is therefore evident that no less a sum than £6OOO can be contemplated in raising a loan, as the contin- ' gencies only amount to an odd £260 Out of this must be provided all ' valves required. This sum should 1 amply cover these requirements, and 1 tny valves required on the 4in. main J for fire-fighting purposes, and allow a small sum in hand. * It should also be borne in mind $ that all the piping and meters esti- a mated for will probably not be laid i at the commencement, and that c
