RURAL WA’TER SUPPLIES Sir,—A good supply of piped


water is the first requisite of healthy and comfortable living in our villages [and farms. The fcost/Of bringing water to areas Where houses [ are few, and Scattered is bound to be heavy; but the WUlirik Act of the


Coalition Government in 1944 Provided £15,000,090 in grants for


.this purpose. [. Only a small fraction of that sum has yet been used] ■ [ In 1948-9 t o Minister ofl Health budgeted for [only £450.000 for water supply. Even less thak this was in-fact [spent arid the vote for 1949-50 [is to he only; £380,000.. The Economic survey for 1949 speaks bnly of “ a start on a few more schemes, of which “ only the most urgent” will be approved. Why is it that progress m


vdeveloping rural: water has been 'so negligible under the Socitot


Government ? 1 Rural authorities in most parts lOf the country have submlttW their- water schemes to the Ministry of Health; but delays of up to three years, and in some cases even more, take place betw^n th submission of schemes to the. Minister and [ to actual com­ mencement of work. These long delays are alleged to be due to


JUST MEANDERING [I


; Sir,—If, as seems likely,' Mr. Cunlifie Is just innocently, enjoy­ ing “a bit of foUy ” which “ now Snd then is relished by -toe best of men’’ [then he can be excused, but' there’s a time for every- ,thing, and he gets rather frightening when, he h in ts . that somewhere in the archive [ of f* 'Arcadia ” there : are , some political i" atom- bombs,” “chapter and verse” as he calls them, that could knock the Labour Government stone cold.


;' But perhaps it’s just the mean­ dering of one who has become


■ temporarily ruflled on encount­ ering the truth, for it is rather amusing! to hear him complain,


i-yery unkindly, that the Tory Party isl“ too kind” to Labour, as with all his dark hints .about


;what he has up his sleeve, he does not strike one as being jToryism’s “ white hope,” or 'having anything like a knock­ out punch.


' , At a time when, under the pro­


shortage of labour and materials}, but 5 J million! tons of cast-iron


pipes (representing about 5.000 miles) were exported . to other countries in 1947 and 1948, and the shortage |of labour'is ex­ aggerated by (he cumbrous pro- cedufe of conisultation between Whitehall departments ; which itself Is a cauK’Sf delay. ^ . The, Government will.no doubt


seek' to : cast [ the blame on .toe local authorities and other water


undertakers.- .They may propose the panacea of. nationalisation.


In Mr.' Bevan’s own words at Margate; in j 1947 “ the Pl^^ answer is that we have afi t o machinery wei need for,


is for pipes, not plans. Adminisr trative changes will not increase ' toe sdppiy lo f . materials,. and
