Supplies from the Mainland. There are at the moment three avaliable sources of supply on tho mainland, viz., from Laichikak, Toun Wan and Sham Tseng, the last of which is expected to be in operation this week,

During the summer months It is Anticipated that fully two million gallons a day can be obtained from those sources and transported to the Hongkong tanks by water boats or lighters:

As these supplies begin to fail in the autumn the 'service from the West River, where there is un- limited water, will have to be further developed to meet the de- Aciency.
