We had a meeting of the Works Committee yesterday evening at the Glebe, with reference to the water supply to the Manse and Chapelyard. The present old horseshoe pipes conducting the water from a spring in the Glebe to a tank at the bottom of it have become defective and choked up.
Your obedient servant, George Gavin."
