OUR WATER SUPPLY.
TO TUB EDITOR. Sir,—There is one qu.stion I should like rich candidate at the municipal election to be ashed, viz.; Are you willing that the rip rian right’ of the Water Of Leith b: pu.’cb cd by the Goi poration ? I live in the upper part of the C : ty, and year alter year we hare hsi no efficient water supply, 1 would earnestly call the attention ot a'l the candidates to thi- water question, as unlen the Leith Is taken in and added to our sources of supply wo sha”. certainly be hable to a visitation of fever, cholera, or ■ ime other awful epidemic, when the Corpora ion may be obliged to pay a very h ! gh sum for the privilege of faking In a supply from the Loith and entai' grt at - xpenso on the citizem in consequence. Our City is famed throughout ail Australasia for its beauty, and many Australians now periodically reside hero; but unless we lake cate to have a proper water supply 1 fear that k less number cf these visitors wiM n sort to this district for the sake of their h~ Jth. Should Mr Kimbell and Mr Barnes - both nominees o! the Ratepayers’ Association—go in for this scheme 1 have no doubt they will be returned.—lam, etc. Health. Dunedin, September 5.
