Mr. Murphy
The acceptance by the county council of a tender for the provision of a water supply to serve Mostrim and Ballinalee has been approved. As regards the Granard water supply, suggestions for modification in the scheme with a view to reducing the estimated cost have been conveyed to the local authority.
Work is in progress on the contract for the Lanesboro' sewerage scheme. The preparation of plans for a sewerage scheme at Ballymahon is almost complete, but a decision has not been reached as to the full scope of the scheme. Plans have also been prepared for a sewerage scheme at Drumlish and have been returned to the local authority for consideration of suggested amendments.
