The Water Authority's monthly statement giving the amount of water in storagó in, the Colony'a resorvaira la to hand; and shows be satisfactory. the position to On the first of "the month thera were over 400 million more gal- lons in the six reservoirs on the laland and over 100 million more in Kowloon than on the same date a year ago. This is due not so much to the fact that the con- Bumption has slightly decreased, but to a much greater rainfall during this year... Thirteen inches more rain had fallon up to No- vember 30th than for the corres ponding period of last year.

The amount of water in storage on the island is 1,868.61 million gallons, as agnlust' 1,450.31 a year ago. Tytam Tuk claima no less than 1,301.76 of the total, whilst Tytum comes next with 315.08.

The consumption during Novem ber was 245.38 million gallons by an estimated population of 406,760, giving the consumption per hend per duy as 20.1 gallons. The figures for November last year vary slightly. The consumption then was 250.33 million gallons, the estimated population 396,440 and the daily individual consump- tion 21 gallons. There was a full supply in all rider main districts during both periods.
