If ,this is go it Is sometliing of an' an favour" of the ten'tliousand baiia'tice of the Oheliu I'oan being'sp&nt. on tilie-'jWestmere reservoir1 mstead-of^jGHi<■" mqri§ urgent works in tihe b^ough^".,^, A^present the Okehu supply looks "urgenit*' enough to justify all sorts of (things. Also, while- on the water quest-ion, why are the spiral rivitted pipes, which have been proved to be a great success, not being used on the' Gonville extension instead of the more costly and less serviceable' .cast iron ones?
