LONDON IN 1960. ------ First City of the World With Sixteen Million Inhabitants. The London Metropolitan Water Board is enga 4:in tying to sdlive the great problem of the first city's water supply fifty years hence, when the population within its area will be more than doubled. As a step to- wards the solution of the problem the board is now erecting in various parts of London large storage reservoirs. The experts of the Water Board caleulate that by 1916 the population of London will 8,000,000, and that by the year 1960 it will be 16,000,000. Whence is to come the unpolluted water to supply that vast tion of human beings? That is the very serious question which it is necessary for the present authorities to answer for the sake of coming tions. Mr. G. G. Easton, Mayor of Ful- ham and a member of the London Water Board, ssid that the matter was regeiving the very earnest atten- tion of the board. "At present," he said, "London's water comes princi- pally from the Thames, taken out between Hampton and Staines. It is possible that with the increase of peo- the Thames Valley may have a popu- lation of two millions. "Will it then be possible to draw upon that necessarily polluted water for a supply? Shall we bave to go further up the river for it? If so, how far up the river will it be prac- ticable for us to go? Those are some of the questions we have to deal with. Fifty-five per cent. of our 'water comes from the Thames, about 20 per cent. from the Lea, and something un- der 30 per cent. is pumped from wells. "The suggested solution of the pro- blem of the future," continued Mr. Easton, "was to secure water from the rivers at flood time and store it. Already great reservoirs were being provided, reservoirs which would con- tain more water than the cubic space of the interior of St. Pauls Cathe- dral. It had been found that water not altogether. pure became pure by natural action after storage for a few "There is actually stored in London at the present moment," said Mr. Eas- ton, "enough water to last for some months. The city of Montreal, with less than 400,000 bitants, carried only twen- ty-four hours' supply of water. A distribution of the world's wealth would mean about six dollars for each inhabitant. boas : A Dwellers in pine forests never have colds, never know the meaning of catarrh.
