HONAM'S WATER

SUPPLY

Water Works Contemplated

Canton, Aug. 30.

Ever since the Municipal Au- thorities placed Honam and its suburbs within its sphere of in- fluence, the Authorities have been busy with schemes for improve-

ment.

One of the chief drawbacks of Honam is its water supply, as up to now the inhabitants have been de- pending upon wells and the river for their drinking-water.

Owing to this, the inhabitants have requested the Municipal Au- thorities to install an up-to-date water supply, and in reponse to their request the Authorities have sent engineers and surveyors to investigate and report.
