GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.-No.488.

WATER SUPPLY.

The continued absence of rain and the conse- quent scarcity of water in the Pokfulam Reservoir,

render it of urgent importance that great economy

should be exercised regarding the present dimin-. ished supply.

Householders are earnestly requested to adopt

all possible precautions against a lavish use of

water obtained through the Mains from the Reservoir, and they are desired to prohibit their

servants from procuring water from that source

for the irrigation of gardens.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office,

FREDERICK STEWART,

Acting Colonial Secretary.
