NOTES. (i) Cost of foundations included with plant. (2) Engineer- 

 ing and supervision are apportioned to the various items, two- 

 thirds of such cost being allocated to works and plant and one- 

 third to mains and services. 



The cost on a similar basis of annual capacity cannot be 

 worked out for the expenditure incurred on the system of 

 canalization and supply. The present line of mains will pro- 

 bably prove efficient feeders (or a greater output than the 

 estimated producing capacity, but as new streets are opened, 

 fresh subsidiary mains will need to be laid, though, on the 

 other hand, mains are already laid in streets where a large 

 amount of property is expected to be erected within the 

 next twelve months. The expenditure on mains, as per 

 schedule given, is 121 per million, on a 22,000,000 plant. 

 As regards the services, meters and fittings, the cost of 

 these will increase pro rata with the erection of buildings, 

 or thereabouts. The cost, per consumer, of service, meter 

 and fittings averages ^4, 123. This is made up as 

 follows :
