had.

so altered in a period of teu

it was not

t practicable. I have

already built me main tank containing 110,000 gallons and brought the supply to the garb,- from this principal tank a main will be extended to two 10,000 gallon tanks at the Union chapét

and

is now in course of work; one 16,000 gallon tank will receive waste

water from the main Tank on the line of stream at Wyredham Street, and one Tant of similar dimensions will be erected at the head of spingehen.

It is proposed to lay pipes from these tanks as far

er as the amount authorized

will fermit, and at each cross street

provide hydrants and stopcocks ; in case of fire a hose and pipe will be

bydrant, and

screwed to the

Cant, and in most

parts of the Town with sufficient hose the water may be applied by

high pressure alone in one effection

stream.

The Tarrks will be kept always

full, and waste water will be- discharged through suitable pipes and be available for the wants of the inhabitants in certain farto of the City.

I must however remark that a more extended typterwis demanded,

and a

larger store of water required;
