NELSON WATER SUPPLY
rTo The Editor! Sir, —In your issue of the 10th instant “Semple Nota Vene” certainly voiced the opinion of the majority of the ratepayers of this city by pointing out that our City Fathers should pay due respect to the advice and important statements of Mr Foster-Barham as published in "The Mail” from time to time, proving his qualification as a waterworks engineer of long experience and successful important achievements. And to combat the rumours to the effect that the Roding river is now so low that it would not fill a four inch pipe and that if our neighbours at Stoke and Richmond were allowed an adequate draw-off from the Roding main, in terms of the Government grant, under such conditions there would be little or no water forthcoming for Nelson City from that source: the City Council should as in duty bound, test the Roding river forthwith in a scientific way, as to quantity and quality just now, as suggested by Mr Foster-Barham, and thus prove to the satisfaction of all concerned that their fears and forebodings are herein groundless.—l am etc.
H. G. BERRYMAN. Nelson, 12th April.
