Water Supply in Multan.

THE scheme of water supply in Multan, to which we referred yesterday, owed its origin to the practical sympathy and wise forethought of Diwan Bahadur Narendra Nath who, as Deputy Commissioner of Multan, brought the beneficent scheme to the notice of Sir Louis Dane, then Lieutenant Governor, and secured his sanction and a substantial grant from Government. On one of his visits to that station Sir Louis Dane referred to the proverbial dust nuisance of Multan which, with the advent of the waterworks, would become a thing of the past. Sir Louis Dane also inspected and approved a site near the old fort for the sinking of a tube well for testing the water supply. The scheme prepared in detail for Rs. 3,52,173 sanctioned in the year 1914.
