At the commencement of the year I recommended the
Board to adopt the system of meters for the supply of water for
street watering instead of paying as we have done for many
years a lump sum of £200 for water for the season. I am
pleased to be able to report that my calculations have proved
correct, and although we keep five water vans going instead of
four as formerly, the new system saves the Board at least £100
per annum.
