"Consideringt-ceprotection tl.e undersigned have enjoyed from
the Corporation of this city, it has appeared very strange to them
that they had no subscribers in Holland, whilit abroad
applications were instantly made for more than three times the
amount of the capital. These applications have since been with-
drawn, seeing that there is not the kast .'es re here to invest money
in an industrial undertaking, which must have proved very profitable
to Amsterdam, and to which the undersigned were most desirous
of giving their assistanct', as being an undertaking of great
importance to Amsterdam. They find themselves, however, obliged
to desist from their enterprise, hoping that at some future time,
and no distant date, the dilticuldes they have met with may disap-
pear, and that the capital city of the Netherlands may be supplied
with a wholesome and drinkable water.

been carried into execution. _ _
