 Arrangements were quickly made to bring a supply of pure water from Onehunga, a distance of nearly 4 miles.

At the present time, plans are being prepared by the City Engineer for the remodelling of the Abattoir, which will convert it into the largest and most up-to-date slaughter house in the Dominion.
