Welsh Water for London.

The proposition which is now being considered to bring from Wales the water used by London, is rather appalling to the average mind. But the scheme is not a new t 'one. The suggestion is revived at this time by the fact that it is proposed that the city goVfefnment buy up the water works companies in London and control the watej, supply. It Is estimated that betweeif qmount which Is asked by those having the monopoly in their hands and the cost of bringing water from the mountains of Wales $500,000,000 could be saved.
