WATER SUPPLY AND THE GARDENS. To the Editor. Sir,— Having Wd wlln interest in paper the Valuable information afforded re "City Water Supply," I am anxious on one particular. I understand that the reservoir is to be emptied, cleaned, etc., and have wondered how the water i« to be disposed of. Will the sluices be Opened and the large supply &i Which we are- at present denied the use for our perishing plants ana lawns, be allowed to rush do\j;l\ thi Brook and w<wt« dn tha s«!a? Dr Ml "tho powers that,, be'. 1 j^rmi't lh<S im ÜBe of t-he hole for two. or three dayi till the ne'c&sisal'y emptying is accom Wished, thereby enabling our gardens ti get a good soaking and the hfe-givm| water be distributed over the city? 1 the high levels could use the hose, Ba till noon, and the low till fdlhght, a would get a fair share. lam hourl ; 1 expecting to hear that tfo Brook i running bank high, m Which eM ; J with Watty., others, wfeo care for ou fearden*-, will regret our honesty an obedience to theWcil% aWs. Be] ter in the forfiter case to risk a fitae an flood our gardens while we have tfl opoprttjhity of doing soTVusting that you will be able assure us that the waste I fear will « be allowed, that honesty may still t proved the better policy, and thankm you in anticipation for space in yoi columns, — 1 T' et %TERESTED. . fi'ne present proposal .is to cleff cleaning out the new reservoir till M old reservoir has been cleared oi Bl and made ready for .temporary storaS of the city supply. tl It |heu a \ proposed to then dry off the former j order to cleattsb it, tlie citizens certain! should b& giveh ihe chaiiee, of u^irtg i much of ihe water as possible ail pr< feeijc'e to prmllting a waste down t-ii 6'rOok For a few days, however, th old reservoir will not be available fc storage, and meantime the city suppl and the leaks are lowering the level o the water in the new reservoir. Tho mftl ter is being watched.— fad-. N.E.M.)
