WATER AND GAS
DEVONPORT DISCUSSIONS While the boroughs of Takapuna and Northeote have dealt at length with a suggestion from the Minister of Health that the marine boroughs should purchase a strip of land about two chains wide around Lake Pupuke to ensure the purity of the water, and allow the use of the balance of the hind around the lake, the Devonport Borough Council last evening decided to wait until the North Shore Water Board had dealt with the proposal. The board can go only a limited distance without consulting the constituent boroughs.
The council also had before it a communication from the Minister of Defence, stating that he had been advised by the commodore commanding the New Zealand Division of the Royal Navy that the proposal to construct a gas chamber at the Devonport naval base was for training purposes, and that only innocuous gases would be
employed, so that no possible harm could be done any resident. The council is yet waiting for a reply to a query sent the Health Department, before it withdraws its objections to the erection of the. chamber.
