All England is becoming water lagged. The level of water below the surface of the land is rising. steadily year after year, and the water head in rivers and streams. i creeping higher.

Facts which tend to prove that, the whole country is rather like a xixandie sponge are clearly em phasised in the report of the Roya! Commission on Land Drainage, which is published to-day. The commission, under the chairman- ship of Lord Bledislac, has enrried eut a most complete inquiry into present law affecting land drainage with the object of recom-. mending improvements.

of this total 1,470,000 neres are out-

Flooding.

Periodical flooding, occasioned by defective or obstructed drainage channels, affects as great an área as 1,979,000 acres.

20 Liners In The Scheme. Two 20,000-ton ships, the Laconia and the Segthin, and four 14,000- ton vessels, the Indauia, Antonia, Athenia, and Letitia, are involved. They will be put into service at the new rates next. April, when the tourist season begins agai

It is hoped that twenty liners will be brought under the scheme during 1028.

Much of the trouble from ineffec- tive drainage is caused, in the opinion of the commission, by a confused tangie of authorities. established by the piece-meal logis- lation of 500 years, and exercising a great variety of powers and Junctions.
