Si
174
am to enquire whether it could be handed over to the
Admiralty as was done in the case of the reservoir
constructed in 1876.
Their Lordships would also be glad to learn
whether the present gathering ground, which is understood
to be an uninhabited and uncultivated area will continue
to be available, and if it is probable that' it will remain
free from contamination.
I am,
Sir.
Your obedient Servant,
Evan Machefor
