The question of easing restrictions the Inland cannot, however, considered yet awhile. The
Director of Public Works announced on Monday that at the present rate of consumption the Island bad 62 days supply.
Supposing this is raised by the present fall to about 180 days, that takes us to the middle of December, or half way through the dry sensor.
It is to be hoped that the present rain will continue, but of this there is no assurance and until the re- servoirs are actually repleted no risks, on an optimistic assumption of more raia, can be taken.
Tanks Deserted.
The Water Control Office reported. that people were not now bothering to draw much water from the, tanks.
At present, we understand, the Government plans have not been modified by the present fall of rain.
Prospects for To-day. The Royal Observatory last night predicted:-:
S. E. or variable winds, moderate, cloudy and showery.
Pressure is highest in the vicinity of the Bonina and relatively low trough extending from Tonking. across Luzon to the Pacific.
A typhoon may be forming in the, Eastern extremity.
An early report, said:
There is a typhoon in the Pacific about 400 miles E.N.E., but owing to lack of returns from North Luzon. its position is uncertain and direc- tion unknown.
In any case it is about 800 miles from Hong Kong.
