WATER SERVICE

ALTERATION

Authority's Strict Attitude

A summons was served on K. C Mark, of No. 109, Sad Yeung Choi Street for having altered or caused or permitted to be altered the water service to his residence, without the consent of the Water Authority,

It was alleged that by such alteration the flow to the house would be reduced.

Mr. H. H. Rose, P. W. D. over- zeez, appeared as complainant at the Kowloon Magistracy yesterday and stated that the case was only brought up for the purpose of publicity so that residents would know that an offence of such nature would not be tolerated by the authorities. He added that a nominal fine would meet the case. A fine of $10 was imposed.

Mr. F. H. Loseby appeared for the defence.
