This came from Mr. W. J. Carrie, Head of the Sanitary Department.
DR. THO'S QUERIES. Questions asked, pursuant to notice, by Dr. S. W. Teo, O.B.E., ́LL.D., and the official replies by Mr. Carrie, are given herewith:--
(1) "Are the following state- ments as appeared in the Chinese newspapers, purporting to be made by the Water Authority' in explanu- tion of the condition of water supply in the Central and Western districts, correct? namely:
(a) that the fullest capacity of
the Pokulam Reservoir which supplies the Central and Western districts ia sixty-six million gallons, out of which five million gallons are use- less,
Reply: The questions have been re- ferred to Government and I 'am authorised to make the following replies:-Yes, the full capacity of Pokfulam Re- servoir is 66 million gallons, but water from Pokfulam is usually supplied to the Cen- tral District.
"INCORRECT,"
that 20 days before the re- striction on water supply in the Central and Western dis- tricts commenced Pokfulam Reservoir was full to over- flow,
Reply: Restriction was not imposed until 37 days after Pokfulam Reservoir had ceased to be . full
(c), that, on full supply, the Cen- tral and Western districts consume three million gal tons daily, Reply The figure given is incor- rect. On full supply, im- mediately prior to the present restriction, the Central and
The venute of the forthcoming Grand Tattoo, originally arranged to be hell nt Happy Valley next month, has been transferred to Sookumpoo where the military grounds have kindly been placed at the disposal of the Tattoo General Committed by H.E. the General Officer Commanding the Military Forces.
The change of venue has been found necessary because the con- struction of the now drainage nullah at Happy Valley has caused more temporary dislocation of the Jockey Club's premises that had at first! been anticipated by the Stewards when they consented to lend their buildings and grounds for Tattoo.

cause therefore that the Tal Tam Reservoir could not give these two districts an additional 500.000 gal- lens a day in order to keep them on full supply? Reply. It will be, seen from the above detailed replies that the difference between full and restricted supply in the Cen- tral and Western Districts la approximately 2.3 million gal- lons
a day. During the present restriction, owing. to shortage at Pokfulam, which normally supplies up to 3 mil- lion gallons 2 day, only 500,000 gallons are being de- livered. Every effort has been and is being made to supply the deficiency from Tytam and

measures,
(8) What are the temporary or otherwise, taken by the Government to deal with shortage of water supply to these
two
most populous districts dur- ing the hot season?"
Reply: The above replies show the temporary measures that have been taken to deal with the. shortage of water supply which is mainly felt in the -Western District. Plana for Waterworks extension both on
the Island and on the Mala- land are under consideration and it is hoped that a decision on the programme of works will be made at an early date.
