Glrltng-Butcher) said he was very pleased with the local brigade’s keenness and enthusiasm —an opinion that was confirmed by Superintendent Woolley, or Wellington. Referring •to the Improved water supply provided, the Inspector made It clear that that Improvement has not placed the supply beyond criticism, and as the town grows It will be necessary to make Turther Improvements.
