DRAINAGE SCHEME
CONFERENCE AT HAMILTON. (Per United Press- Association.) Hamilton, April 18. The draining of the Woodlands swamp of 68,000 acres close to Hamilton was brought nearer at the conference of the Amalgamated Drainage Committee to-day. The meeting unanimously resolved to ask the Government to appoint a board of inquiry into a comprehensive drainage scheme. This important development of the work has been long delayed by the Gov. eminent refusing to assist unless the small drainage boards would unite.
United action now seems assured.
