CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY,. MAY IS, 1859.

AAE u AI1A Vs.--h are HI3G u
that our coten'porarics are joining US in pre-
senting strongly to the public and 10 our City
Fathers the matter Of a free supply Of water for
the pcople--1 cons1aus, ever accessible flow of
the water Of our lake to the lips If the thirsty,
By means Of veil located, well devised street
hydrants, with drinking cups attached
At present, to looE about our city, and all
American cities, it would seem Is if wuter is for
anything-cvcryshiny bu. to drink, and that to
meet the latter rcqui.ltion mankind had honey
combed the city viii. taser aud zot-Sat cellars,
opened aad encouraged bars on every corner,
and then rested content.
As we write at three z. H., iu tue warm, sui
try rays Of i sun arden: is Of July, two or three
thousand laborcrs axe toi!ing in the open sun
shine; our streets are active with the rush that
charocterizes life in our midst Vow let spy one
Of these thousands in our streets yield to the
thirst incident 10 this season, and pause in his
labor or on bis way, to aIluy the same, What
must be his resort. Before and behind him
stretches the street, with its great arteries filed
With the watets o1 oar lake. On the :.reet cor
ness are hydrants ready at the s;...:.d of the
GStt
aud dry, and c;ose, to thirsty thousands. And
Why may we ne. put in 4 plea for the humber
! companions Of ,an, the beasts Of burden aud
our canine friends.
For each, for all, what better, noJ!er, and
more unfAiling source Of ,hanktul appreciation
aud adoption, would b. Il stree. fountain located
at sundry prominent street corners. In iron
column, with its iron drinking vessels chained
to its sides, and Mt its bzss drinking trough,
where, tllrouShou! the months Of summer 1t
least, the thirsty need never apply in saiu.
Ne believe tue pgescut city administration
could not do wiser thing nor one more to
their credit, than to inau.uratc this nattcr If
street fountaiES. Let III one 1t unwilliuy1y
driven to 4 bur: .:oonl because lie can find notll-
ing to drink elsewhere. The subject is being
aStated in Other cities: let it be put on foot in
chlcaGo' and that sl"cH!!c, to secure its advan-
tnses und fi11nrIrs tor ti' .s:1uer nuw close ut
