Whilst on this subject, can you tell us what the objection is to in- - {stalling a salt-water reservoir and pumping station on the Peak, and using it for not only fires, but all street-watering and flushing purposes? Why all this unneces- sary waste of water, when every year there is a shortage, and not much prospect of conditions changing?

Also, what happens in the brider-main district fu fife is in- considerate enough to start dur- ing prohibited hours?

Finally, if no one else will take up this qucation of fires in Hong- -konk, could not the head offices in England or America be informed or the state of affairs here, and how much money they are paying out on account of this. Yours, | etc.,
