j CITY' WATER SUPPLY. ! A MARKED IMPROVEMENT. j I i "BOILING" STILL NECESSARY. My Dear people.— Champion feels grieved that after extricating Sir Conan from his mud bath for evideritial purposes, that he should now be called upon to get oar City Fathers out of theirs- _ We continually read about Councillors' trips to Nihotupu and Waitakere, but evidently they were of a somnambulistic chara-cter, though it was stated, after lunching they returned home and went into committee and decided that boiling at T2odeg. was necessary to Quench thirst. with the thermometer standing at 90 in the shade, and if the thirsty pedestrians were to give effect to this brainy suggestion our streets would resemble travelling geysers. It is obvious the somnambulistic CounI clliors have not boiled the water supi plied to the city drmkius fountains Of course, this is of little moment, and is enough to turn one from the ' i>athe of Virtue. _if not fortified with j Champion Muscie-raieer Flour and Standard Oatmeal, Rolled oat 3, and I Gr.iel Meal. Champion makes the following 6UCpestion., as our Councillors axe on the norr.s of a dilemma, which is a very dangerous predicament to be in: Why cot call in some fresh talent to get a Teport on our water supply, or even offer a bonus, with promotion, to those about the works if they can solve the present mystery? It may be unpalatable for the Council, still it would tend to a.'-iay or remove the present unrest. Wishing; you a Prosperous and a Happy New Year, v., AUCKLAND.
