A conference between Mr W. Beck, an engineer of the Public Works Department, Mr F. Langbein, Canterbury District Engineer of the Main Highways Board, and members of the Ashburton County Council was held at Ashburton on Monday when the question of irrigation and water supply was discussed. Mr Beck, in speaking of irrigation, said that during two years in the United States he had excellent opportunities for investigating irrigation, but in no place in America did he see any place which offered such excellent opportunities for irrigation as the Canterbury plains. The water could be obtained cheaply in Canterbury compared with America. Where irrigation had been undertaken in America it had proved well worth while. As a result of the conference Mr Beck has commenced investigations with a staff of five men at Mount Hutt.
