THE SEWERAGE SCHEME.

[Tj the Edxtok.] Sir, —As many misleading statements have been made botli publicly •and privately with regard to the exact scope of Mr. Mestayer’s sewerage scheme, I last week wrote to Mi. Mestayer, asking him to explain exactlv'what he does mean. His reply speaks for itself, and should finally •dispose of any misunderstanding. 1 J.IT. WILLIAMS. .Gisborne, Feb. 22. • {Copy.] ui Wellington, 20th Feb., 1908. “Hr.. Williams, Gisborne. “Hear Sir, — ■“Gisborne Sewerage. “I have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 12th inst. which I have not been able to reply to sooner, as I only returned from ln--vercargill this morning, having been there to inspect and report upoii a water supply scheme for that toun [ am much obliged to you for callin 0 my attention to the misconception fprevailing as to the scope ot my ‘ sC “of°w« ree my scheme includes the removal of all foul water, that from baths, wash-tubs, kitchen relinks, etc., from every house; everything, in fact, hut rain and subsoil water. At the same time 1 do not consider it necessary to compel pei•eons to send hath water to the sewers whero it can ho utilised on gaul■ens if they desire so to use it, as when tho sunply runs short this would assist the .water supply. “Yours faithfully. ~ “It L.
