§ 74. Dr. CHAPPLEasked the Secretary for Scotland why the efforts of his Department to provide water for the Sark Tower holdings have proved a failure; and whether he can hold out any hope that their needs can be met?
The SECRETARY for SCOTLAND (Mr. Adamson)I am informed that the water supply installed by the Board of Agriculture for some of the holdings failed after two years' service. The failure appears to have been due to the fact that the holders did not give sufficient attention to the machinery. The Board are ready to have repairs executed as soon as 2127 the holders provide an undertaking to maintain the machinery and other works when so repaired.
