I beg to move, in page 3, line 4, after "taken," to insert "either."

This Amendment, together with the next, is a drafting Amendment. It has the object of making it clear that local authorities are not compelled to meter every supply of water for agricultural purposes but that they may make special charges, for instance in the case of crofts, where that method is more suitable.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In line 4, leave out from "meter," to "or," in line 5.—[Mr. Woodburn.]
