Therefore, it is quite evident that I know it is necessary to take this step. that it will entai! some hardship upon the poorer classes of the community in carrying water to their dwellings, but it is better for them to do so now than hereaftor to suffer much more severely from a water famine, and also the much greater inconvenience that would result to them from that, This is the first mensure that we have decided apon taking, and since the figures I have given you are based upon the total amount of water in the reservoir, and would entai! the actual emptying of these reservoirs, it is necessary to augment the supply because you can easily understand that it is not desirable nor is it physically possible, to catirely empty a reservoir. Therefore, the vote of 817,000 which you will be presently asked to consider in the France Committee is for the purpose of leading the water by means of two catch waters from streams that we can tap into the already formed basin behind the dam of the new Tytam Tuk reservoir. By this means we hope to impound between 40,000,000 and 50,000,000. millions of gallons, and that will form a very acceptable addition to our water supply, I need only add that if our forecasts are belied, and if a friendly typhoon was to pass southward and with a swish of its tail fill our reservoirs, then we shall be only too glad to close down our fountain supply and revert to more normal methods of distribution.
