W J Wilshire, The Lawn, Prospect Road, Summer Hill. His property was assessed for the water rate and the enumeration (counting stock on the basis of one head to a room) amounted to 34 rooms. He asks for a liberal concession because the experience of the 1885 drought (when he had to send his stock to Cooks River daily to drink), resulted in his spending over £50 to sink an artesian bore to 86 feet which has an inexhaustible supply. He also has 60,000 gallon capacity underground tanks and 6 iron tanks of 1200 gallons. There is a notation 'Refer to the Act'.LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYes
