THE WATER SUPPLY OF JERUSALEM. 



even though we waste most of what we get. In London the waste 

 is inconceivable. What becomes of the 36 gallons a day per head 

 (babies included) I cannot conceive, but so it is. Contrast with 

 that a state of affairs where water has to be fetched miles, and we 

 ought then to be able to realize the advantages under which we 

 live. 



We owe our thanks to the Secretary for reading the papers, and 

 we owe both the writers thanks for giving us two opposite views. 

 I confess I am in sympathy with the original paper as to what would 

 have been the right thing to do, if it were possible to have the old 

 aqueduct repaired ; but it is always interesting to hear the other 

 side, even if one does not wholly agree with it. 



The Meeting then terminated.
