on land, bat in the land we have a well proved 

 system which should not be lightly abandoned, and 

 especially so considering that on the various works 

 at Beaumont Leys and in the preparation of this 

 land nearly £59,000 have been expended, as well 

 as £12,922 for the rising mains to deliver the 

 sewage there. With respect to the proposal to 

 parchase the Beaumont Leys sewage farm, having 

 due regard to the proved efficiency of the land, as 

 now laid out, for final purification, and the cost 



which would be involved in constructing a snfficient 

 area of second and third contact bacteria beds in 

 the near future to take the place of the land used 

 for irrigation, I am of opinion that it is desirable 

 to endeavour to purchase the 1,275 acres of land 

 now leased until the 25th March, 1916, from Sir 

 Robert Tempest-Tempest, Bart." This has since 

 been done, and the works referred to above were 

 commenced in January, 1905 — it is hoped that they 

 will be completed this year.
