GRANT ROAD SPRING
TEMPORARILY SIDETRACKED
The, Grant road spring, tho source of one of Wellington's earliest water supplies, and still accounted, by a good many people to be the best water supply, on a small scale, of course in the 'city, is temporarily not ;:epding down to the' old spout near: the corner, as the loan track renewal work necessitated a side-tracking of tho flow. The spring water is led by piping for'some distance to'the road formation, so that tho cessation of flow at; that point does not indicate any permanent interference with the flow. Quite a number of residents1 in the • vicinity more or less regularly obtain their drinking water from the road fountain, which, | though perhaps not much of a coniplii ment to tho Wainui and Orongorongo supplies, is certainly a '.vote of thanks and confidenco to the steady flowing spring at tho foot of the Tinakori Hills.
