A SERIOUS MATTER
WATER AND THE HIGH LEVELS During the hours the hose is permitted to be used for watering in the evenings householders on the higher levels in the city are deprived of water —even for domestic use. night, for instance, between 7 and 9 o'clock, taps in high localities were absolutely dry. The'most serious aspect of this is that should a fire occur the owner of a building would have to stand helplessly by and see his property destroyeel—even an incipient outbreak could not be coped with.
It has been represented to "The Mail" that while there is no desire to precbjde people from watering their gardens; yet when this is being done at the expense of residents of the higher levels, there is a responsibility on the City Council which should be immediately faced.
