Correspondence ...April 10, 1926. "Editor: Dear Sir-Among other local mat- ters of primary importance which might be discussed by the West Van· e:ouver Ratepayers' Association is that of a permanent water supply for this dis trict. At the last meeting of the Associa- tion a speaker suggested that what is known os the "Shield 's flume/' de- signed to carry water from Cypres Creek (2,100 feel level) to the pond nea r the Shields railway in the east end ( 1.200 !eel level) be used lUI t he bas is of a distribution sys tem, pre- sumably to the higher level which cannot be reached by a service from the Capitano River. l! the speaker meant that a Cypre!ls Creek syBtem could partially or wholly re(,lace the CapUano system in the lower levels of the dis trict (whic:h I do not believe) be might be prepared to bring his dnta to n meeting of the Association and npen a discussion which would furnish an intere&ling nnd profitable addition to i~ pro· g-rnmme.
