§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, having regard to the fact that the District Committee of the Inverness-shire County Council are arranging to supply the village of Campbellton, a short distance from Fort George, with water from the Culloden Hills, will he consider the expediency of co-operating with the Committee, so that Fort George may be provided with water from a source more wholesome and enduring than that likely 41 to be derived from the well which it is at present proposed to sink on a common half a mile from the Fort?
MR. POWELL WILLIAMSThe District Committee required £500 a year for the delivery of water at a mile and a half from the Fort. As it was considered that a sufficient quantity of good water could be obtained at a much smaller cost from wells on War Department property, the proposal of the District Committee was declined.
