CARTERTON

USE OF BOROUGH WATER RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED. i' Times-Ag"” Special.) Owing to the dry weather and the heavy draw from the water mains the Carterton Borough Council has found it necessary to restrict the use of watei lor gardens and as a consequence the By-law, 1904, Section 43 will be strictly enforced. No water is to be left running from a hose at night and the pxunods for hosing are fixed from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. and from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Anyone found breaking these restrictions will be prosecuted. A correspondent writes suggesting that the borough authorities divide the borough hosing restrictions into two sections. The suggestion is that North High Street to Pembroke Street be one boundary and south of Pembroke Street the other. When all sections are drawing off water at one period it is very difficult for the southenders to get even a trickle of water for household purposes, let alone for use in the j garden.
