MINISTER URGES CARE
(Brltlsb Official Wireless.)
RUGBY, February 22.
In-a letter to local authorities and waterworks companies the Minister of Health, Sir Hilton Young, says: "The continued drought makes it increasingly necessary that each water undertaking should look carefully into the position of its water supply and the demands ori-it in the,coining months.. There is at.present no cause for general alarm. Most of the urban authorities have withstood remarkably well the strain of the exceptional drought. On ,the other hand, many rural areas have suffered hardship, but in urban as well as in rural areas if- the drought continues special measures may become necessary at many-places : where hitherto they have not been -required." ; ■
