CITY ENGINEER’S CONFESSION SOMETIMES IN DOUBT When explaining the details of his Waitakere water schemes to a party' from the Marine Suburbs yesterday, Mr. W. E. Bush, the city engineer, went, into details of the ]STihotupu dam. •‘At one time,” Mr. Bush recalled, “I sat for hours in the little lamp office at Nihotupu working out day by day figures for rainfall and draw-off of water until I had decided how long it would take to get the reservoir down to the 60ft. level. “The other engineers present will tell you that though we keep a bold face to the public there are times when we are seized with doubt, and carefully check our own figures,” he continued.
