Ottawa. says: Ono. of Canada's greatest p.atural' resources, and one to which' we give very little thought except what -we 41,' are individually affected, is our water supply, particularly fer;:dolnostic pur- poses, We have become so accustom- ed to having the water available simply by turning a tap or by "using the pump -handle, that : only when something untoward happens_ and the cal supply is absent do we give any r coiisidefation as to its source or its adequacy. Canada is 'fortunately well provided with water. We have no acid areas, and very few sections • where even dar- ing periods' of minimum precipitation the occasional well becomes dry In, the cities and towns where water is ' supplied as a public service large equipment and well -organized staffs are necessary, while enormous invest- ments are required' for the distribu- tion tion of the', eater. Even for. this ser- vice the pr'i'ce wo pay is very reason- 4ple, because we are paying only for service. We pay nothing for the water. .-it is one of nature's gifts to Canada and is provided to consumers for their, n use without charge. When, how- ever, the: water used is .commercial- ized, or 'made to earn a monetary re- turn for the user, the guardians of Canada's . natural endowments collect c a value inthe common interest. • ent illustration of the' cost of A recent a -Water' supply is contained in a re- port port of the operating expenses of: the steam railways of Canada in .1923. For the use of their locomotives only, the steam railways paid :$2,550,891, quite a tidy sum when measured in - dollars and cents, but small in -com- parison with their coal bill, which was $59,280,418. And yet the fuel repre- sented by the latter account would have been of comparatively little use but for the water necessary for steam making. •- Water as water has many uses, and - in very few of them could a substiti,,, tute be found, while- the power pro- duced by .flowing or descendingwater, when harnessed, is ort of Canada's basic elements -one On which our pulp and -paper industry, our mining development;' our chemical plants and many` other commercial endeavors are solely or almost entirely dependent.
