I am also of opinion that another artesian well should be sunk at this end of the town and retioulated in some oE the streets, so thatl'm oase of a very dty season good vmler for housohold pur poses would be at the disposal of the towns people and a water famine impossible. You have plenty of money availablo for these objects, The ntroota will have to be attended (o and whilst on thia subject, I would strongly urge on the Counoil the advisability of con tinuing tbe crushing. Last: year it trns only an <xperimont and and I freely con fess tho work dona did not cume up to my oxpootetions, the reaion being that the jaws of the crusher were not quite suitable, as they let too many atones through the machine without breaking. Mr Gilroour suggested an alteration which I submitted to my friend, Mr Seattle, who quite agreed with my proposal, Messrs Murray and Sons cast a new one at a cost of £6, and on its trial it was found to do tho work ad mirably, hardly any stones ptising through without being broken. If the Counoil can by degrees cover tbo main streets with a coating of this material well rolled in, tho nuisance of large stones coming to tho sur face during the tutnmor months will h.o avoided, and you will receive tho thanks of all tbote using the streets for horse trafHo, besides having a level firm sur'ace whioh will take only a small amount of labour to keep in repair. I do, therefore, hope you will give this a fair trial this summer and not take last yoar'B crushing as a oriterion. There is still a good deal of work to do as regards sanitary matters, and although wo have faced the difficulty as far as wo j were able, it will require your oarneat en desTOuri to induce all householders to obey the sanitary by-law, and until this is done our town will not be as it should, but people are beginning fo see the advantage of the systom and will gradually fall in with tho wiobee of the Counoil without needless harrass or tmnoyanco on jouv part. j

I should like to point out to tbe Council the importance of beautifying our town whon occasion offers.
