An ARTISAN WELL.-At the last meeting Of
the Council committee was appointed TO wait
upon the County Commissioners and ask an ap
preparation to assist in boring an artesian well in
the Circle. The appointment OF n committee
was well enough. but the Council should not wait
for TIE action Of the Commissioners The we'll.
il il can be made at n reasonable expense, should
be sunk ut once. and the experiment of boring
for water should be made by the city. The city
is to benefit by il. II any sum less than one
thousand dollars will sink the well. the same sum
will sink Others, and two or three such will affnd
flow of water along our powdered cutters
sufficient to keep them clean and sweet and " hen
a system of sewerage is established as must be
before many years, the waste water will I've just
as invaluable to purify them. The Council
should not hesitate one moment about making
the experiment. IL will be money well expend
ed. and il successful. and no one who has invest
gated doubts that it will be. the advantages to
the health of the city will be above all price
This subject has been often named. but always
dropped without discussion The feeling seems
To have been TO wait for the exper ment II the
Hospital for the Insane. The work ON the veil
there has stopped in consequence of the expendi-
ture OF the small appropriation tor it: but have

lected by DIR. Athon TO guide ~. Biologists all
agree that water vein will be struck at less
than three hundred feet which will raise water TO
the top OF the hospital building The we'll there
sunk hundred and fifty feet during DIR
AthOns administration, and has been carried
thirty forty feet since The machinery for
boring will not cost over three hundred dollars,
and the same machinery can be used for dozen
wells or until IL wears out. and the machinery
can be used with small engine SO as to employ
the labor of only two men
we'll at the Circle in the first place would
keep the large cistern now building on Circle
street constantly full. and by pipes ali the els
terms ia the OF the city could also be kept
full. and the surplus water would purify the gut
tiers on Illinois street about which there is so
much feeling exhibited.
| We hope the Council will look at this subject
with the enlarged views that liberal minded leg
islators should exhibit who have the interests of
a wealthy and rapidly increasing city in their
! keeping.
The question o! sewerage must shortly come
up The question of drainage is now one that
commands the attention of our citizens. The
artesian well project is one of Importance con
nected with the drainage and sewerage of the
city. Possibly il might lead to another more
important than ether-to a supply of water for
the city
We trust the Council will not hesitate in this
matter-will not wait for the action of the County
| BOard-but enter at once upon their work as the
representatives of metropolitan city should do
