these will supply a considerablo quantity of water for washing purposes. Notices that this water must be boiled have been posted to warn the public that the water is not potable.

The V.R.C. Tank.

The A.P.C. have kindly lent two 50 ton tanks which are being erected in Kowloon (Waterloo Road) and this will furnish a plentiful supply from the old or ginal Waterworks wells. Similar notices with regard to the water being non potable have been post ed here.

The Godown Company hay opened wells on their property af Kowloon Point for the purpose of supplying their launches and Ferry Boats, etc., and for washing purposes; the water being under the direct controf of the Company.

The possibility of utilizing the Victoria Recreation Club Swim- ming Tank for storage purposes has been noted. The capacity is about 150,000 gallons, which could easily be increased should the tank be requisitioned for this purpose. A tank at Kennedy Town has been set apart for the purpose of Aupplying water to launches at Hongkong.

* Supplies to W.C.'s. Numerous old deep public wells, both in Hongkong and Kowloon, are being opened up to supply water for washing purposes, being clearly notined that such water is not to be used for potable

purposes,

The Peninsula Hotel has a ranged for a permit for an inde: pandent supply from Tin Kau, and Messra, Watson & Co.'s. Aerated Water Factory are likowie: obtain- ing a supply from Junk Bay.

The question of cutting off all main supplies to W.C's. is under consideration

The question of having water distilled by the Naval Distillation plant has also been raised.

The most urgent head at the pre- sent-time in the conservation of the existing reservoir supplies, which is being secared by every additional outside sourdo of supply.

A great many difficulties have yet to be overcome, but as Water Authority I welcome the assistance of this Committee and feel con- fident that with their kind co- operation the present emergency can be satisfactorily mét.

The Discussion. Some discussion followed on the constitution of the sub-committees. In reply to a question by the Hon.

The Hon. Dr. Kotowall suggest- ed that two Chinese membara should be added to the Distribution Committee, the Hon Sir Shou-se Chow commenting that he believed in doing work but not overcrowding committees.

In reply to further queries the Chairman said that the distribu- tion was that of supplies from ships. He pointed out, when it was suggested that the body might bo called the Transport Committee, that thoro already was a Shipping' Committee.

The Hon. Mr. Shenton said that the committees were not executive and advisory. They were all ad- visory. It was necessary at that to get stage of the proceedings down to some scheme and then grind everything into its proper shape.

The Chairman pointed out that at the moment it was important to consider the supply to the low levels by means of cutaide water, leaving that in the reservoirs for the supply to the higher levels.
