The cuy officials were reported to be doing their best to conserve "wastage of water, but from his own observation a very considerable amount of water was daily (Saturday and Sunday included) running to waste in premises served by hydraulic lifts. This was surely a matter in which wastage could be stopped to a certain extent without much expense.—The report was adopted, and the secretary was instructed to forward a copy, toi the town clerk.
