WATER SUPPLY FOR GARDENS.
(To the Editor.) Sir, —I often wonder if it- ever strikes anybody that whilst we who have gardens and lawns now being rained through our being debarred from the use of water, for which we- are paying rates, the water carts arc wasting thousands- of gallons of water on the streets, with only a 1 momentary effect. The dust nuisance is as great as ever five minutes after tit© cart has passed over it. If economy is really necessary, and it undoubtedly is, why is not-salt water used? All the -garden hoses in town and suburbs in full blast together would not, I think, equal the waste caused; by the watering carts- Meanwhile the appearance or the trim lawns, etc., is most forlorn, and in many cases they will have to be relaid—or grow cabbages.—l am, etc., HOUSEPROUD. February 9. 1912.
