We are glad to learn that there is overy likelihood of the Hon. W. B. Marsh (Colonial Secretary), returning to this.

It is more than likely that he will be decorated for his special service.

to carry out the Tai-tam Water Schamo here. This will doubtless be pleasing intelligence to Mr Priver many friends, as well as to those well-wishers of. the Colony who regard an adequate water supply as one of the most important pub. lic necessities of a growing dependency.com
