BUCKINGHAM'S WATER SUPPLY
SIR,—A Bill is to be brought before Parliament early in the next session, which, if passed without amend- ment, will prove to be a waste of the nation's re- sources and a victory for blind bureaucracy.
At present the Borough of Buckingham has an independent supply of good water which is pleasant to drink and comes from a deep well close to the town. Thus our water is produced cheaply and with- out processing. Geologists have stated that it flows underground from as far away as the Cotswolds.
The Bill seeks to form a water supply system for the whole of Buckinghamshire. Water would be piped to Buckingham from a considerable distance, and we would be obliged to pay more for a supply of inferior and unpleasant diluted chlorine.
The town is united in its opposition to the scheme, and our Member of farliament has undertaken to support us. But this ridiculous clause, in a Bill which may otherwise be good in principle, will become law if it does not receive publicity.—Yours faithfully,
