Thk water and drainage scheme, as already outlined, presents man; attractive £™inres, which are well worthy of tfce ; consideration of. ratepayers. In tlie firstplace a Ifery large cutn.prob&bly ten thousand pound®, will be spent puder it in labour. Now we would not for one moment advance Uiis as a msbn for adopting she project did -ire not fee! sure tbat the expenditureof; capital will be permanently beneficial to Masfcer'ton. Holding honestly this view,we are justified in afHrmiagthat a loan of san thousand pQundsdietributed amongst the labourers• i of; Maatirton • will, help STsry msa, woman > and abild is the community.:! ;lt> will go a Song way towards : booming the town, and though we do nr.t desire a boom, we are sensible something slioii of A booin, a healthy spurt, is needed to make: Mastetton take that posiiioa as tlio leading ;! -'town of a large* and wealthy district «hiohitbaa a right to aaaume. ' The value of property throughout the borough is Btill unduly dftpiessed,; but will certainly rise if the place is made more: attractue as a residential centre by efficient drainage and pare water. The water supplied by the well* of M&sterton is decidedly impure, and many cases ot typhoid in the borough have been distinctly"traceable totbiacause. The water, too,' is hard and too strongly impregnated with lime for the health of the people. The proposed supply from .the WaiQgawa is, we are informed, soft and pure..: Again, a great many people: in the town want irrigation ia the summer time. The properties of our friends on the Upper Plain in pas.tioalarsuffer from firoughf, and most gardeners in the. town-find that after Kovember their' eropis' fail, just aatfaey ;•»?■ mat ariag, 1 from" want of a convenient and econoisic&lwater supply, The project will be a-iopii to a hundred householders frow the irrigation standpoint alone. Then it promises us an adequate sanitary system under which all foal tsocumaiHtion in: the; town will; be swept bodily into the fast flowing waters <sf the Buamabaags..; The town we are assured is;;; admirably adapted for drainage purposes aud can be made one ol the healthiest centres of population in the Oolony. The project promises that in tK future the town will fca a sanatorium instead of a pnrgstonum. Also is vast be remembered that with a high; pressure water supply, insurance rates will fall to one half'of their present cost and that : when -a building dots catch alight the probability will be that the five -will be extinguished before the afcractora is At present the probability is all tlie otherway There are many minor contingent advantages. A high pressure water supply gives a aheap and maa•jable power for working small macbinee, auoh as chaff oaUet* and lathes. It k the saost eeocomioal power for io- aay assail machine, and -wilt, fron this point of view, be 'a K^sMieonvenkaeetepiaay.
