BELFAST WATER
Belfast, 5th December, 1878.
Sir,
      I beg to inform you that application is intended to be made
to Parliament in the ensuing Session for an Act, under the above
name or short title, to confer further powers on the Belfast Water
Commissioners, whereby it is proposed, among other purposes, to
authorise the Commissioners to abandon or relinquish the
construction of so much of the aqueduct, tunnel, conduit, or line of
pipes or syphons (No. 10) authorised by, and described in, Section 5
of the Belfast Water Act, 1874, as will be rendered unnecessary by
the construction of the open or closed conduit, watercourse, or line
of pipes (No. 21) proposed to be constructed under the powers of the
said intended Act; and also to abandon or relinquish the
construction of the short cut or tunnel (No. 14) authorised by and
described in the said Section 5 of the said Act of 1874, for which
works so proposed to be relinquished or abandoned it was intended to
take certain lands, in which I understand you have an interest.
      I am, Sir,
      Your obedient Servant,
      JOHN REA.
