Statistics.
The Water supplied by the New River and the East London
Water Companies during the year has not differed
appreciably, either in quantity or quality, from
that sent out during recent years. The usual
monthly statements which are published by the
Government Water Examiner; and also the Analytical and
Biological Returns which Messrs. Tidy and Oddling furnish, afford
satisfactory evidence that care is taken to supply good water in
sufficient quantity.
