Thursday Is., Feb. 3.
THE shortage of water still prevails on Thursday Island.
To date only about 12 inches of rain have fallen instead of jthe deluge usually expected at this season of the year, The Ghangte could not be supplied with water when she called last week. There is every indication, however, that the town reservoir will be filled shortly.
Local plumbers have been reaping a small harvest by making and installing rain water tanks for private house holders who have been relying too much upon the town supply.
