he president said he was very pleased with the supply of water. The Toowoomba Croquet Club was stuck for water, and it had been asking for water from the mill. Originally it was suggested that all the sporting bodies should combine in an effort to provide a water supply. If the Association had sufficient water he thought they should do something for the croquet club.

Mr. Blaxland said that if the Association were satisfied with its present supply it possibly could do something for the croquet club. With a tank of 6000 gallons capacity he thought the wishes of the croquet club could be met. He thought the stand would be capable of carrying double the quantity of water.
