Senator GLASGOW (Queensland) . - I should like some information from the Minister in charge of the bill with regard to the item " Construction of buildings and roads, engineering services and water boring, £10,000," under the sub-head " Central Australia." Now that the railway has reached Alice Springs, is the Government doing anything to improve water facilities along the stock routes from the north-west, and along the telegraph lines to Alice Springs, from

Victoria River and Newcastle Waters? Also, have improved water facilties been provided along the stock route from Newcastle Waters to Anthony's Lagoon, through to the Barkly Tableland?
