Speaking on the subject, the Hon. Mr. E. A, Hewett said the point he wanted to make, in that they should be very careful, owing to the questions that had arisen. before as to allowing water-closets, particularly during a certain time of the year. The mallah supply might be sufficient during a part of the year, but not the year round. They had a similar osse in the University, where water cloenta were refused because there was not sufficient water. He thought these were cused that should be very carefully gone into and not sccepted on the word of the architects.

Dr. Clark:-There is sufficient water in the Garden Boad nallah to supply eight water closets,

The Hon. Mr. Churchill said there was sufficient water to sup- ply the closets all the year round. The President I beg to move that the application be granted.
