St Albans Water Scheme Details and Costs

The Advocate presents Mr F J Walters view on St Albans water supply. He urges a durable MMBW sourced scheme from Morang reservoir to Essendon then Kellor, via a 12 inch main, costing about 27090 pounds and delivering to Kellor and nearby subdivisions. He supports an Urban Waterworks Trust for efficient control with favorable loan terms and fair cost distribution, funded by rates on properties near stand pipes. Reticulation plans include 6, 4, and 2 inch pipes with total capital around 6000 pounds and annual costs about 270 pounds, assuming MMBW supply at 1s 6d per thousand gallons.

The document estimates excess water revenue at £19650 with fixed expenses of £677, leaving £773 to be allocated to the M M B W.

It adds that subsequent developments would likely raise revenues, so the figures reflect extreme valuating conditions.

The Waltz Comes Back In Style At Last

The waltz resurges in Parisian balls after decades in decline due to the Charleston and two step. Older generations oppose it while claimants say the charm and romance endure. A shift toward the quick gliding steps of late era dancing renews interest. The Blue Danube music sparks renewed desire to dance and pursue love.
