The price to be paid is fixed in the Regulations at 20 cent per 1,000 gallons, but as H.M.'s Dockyard pays no rates or taxes no such deduction as is referred to in a clause apparently be made.

Section 15 can be applied to H.M.'s Dockyard. In a short time, the Dockyard will be connected with the New Water Mains, and will then be in a position to receive a constant supply of pure water under high pressure. This may be beneficial and that in so far as protection from fire is concerned, facilities will consequently be increased.

In accordance with the provisions of section 14 a meter will have to be fixed for which a rent is to be made as well as payment for the amount of water consumed in the manner mentioned in such section.

The price charged for the water is 20 cent per 1,000 gallons, and the meter is 100 gallons, quarterly rent for the meter is eight dollars.

I have &c.

Sir F. Fleming.
