Supply. t Also supplies Scotch Corner Hotel and Council Houses at Middleton Tyas. As regards these supplies the following points are to be noted:— (a) The Gandale Supply, while supplying primarily the centred communities in the eleven parishes named, also supplies cer¬ tain of the farms and is also available to supply the great majority of the farms within these parishes. (b) The Council’s separate systems supply primarily the centred communities in the fourteen parishes, the farms beyond the immediate vicinity of the villages relying on individual well and spring supplies. With regard to the Council’s supply at Gilling, known as Caldwell Sprang, this supplies Council Houses at Gilling and Middleton Tyas, together with Scotch Corner Hotel and one or two farms in the vicinity of Scotch Comer. (c) The Estate supplies in the eight parishes are in general to farms; only in the cases of Gilling, Marske and Middleton Tyas are there centred communities of more than 50 people. Hips- well and St. Martin also have larger centred communities, but are special cases since the former is within the area of Oatter- ick Camp and is. therefore, supplied by the W.D. supply', and the latter, consisting mainlv of dwelling houses, is supplied from a private borehole and from the Borough of Richmond. (d) Of the seven parishes which rely on individual wells and springs, only Moulton has a centred community of more than a few properties; the remainder consisting of scattered properties.
