The Portland Water Company,


1t is upon this proposition that the City Gov
eminent is to act at the next meeting 1t is
understood that the company has contracted
with the American Water and Gas Pine Com
pany for the pipe and with responsible parties
for the completion of the works during the
coming year. The American Company has
works in Jersey City, but the iron will be i'm
ported and the pipe for this undertaking will
oe manufactured here. Mr. Gilman, in his re-
harks before the City Council Friday evening,
said the American Company had decided to
establish permanent works here iy -
we have only word to add The (itv Cav
eminent is elected to look after the interests of
the city. 1t is the duty as well as the r;oht of
the City Government to exercise its own ;ndo..
ment on this and all other questions Which
come before it. Il is to be presumed that tbero
will be good and satisfactory reasons to Justify
its course. But it is also the right Of the pub
lie to know those reasons, and we trust the
committee which now has this matter in charge
VIII report fully enough to satisfy their con-
stituents that they arc not trifing with a mat
ter oi great public interest This petition asks
hcthing but the consent of The city that the
work should go forward. IF there ia any oh
lectlon 10 granting such a petition tho ,,biec-
tlon does not appear to the public and ought
to be made known "i' o"s"'

PATENT TO 4 AWAsHINGroSIAN-Ths exercise
Of skating having become rather popular in this
latitude, at least during tho frozen months, has
partially usurPed the place of the old.fashloned
sleighing parties as recreation for out of doors.
Mr.. Alexander Adamson, Of this city, has just
obtained patent for a skating chair which will
be Of great assistance to the skate learner, and
help those whose age or weakness prohibits the
full practice of the graceful but laborious art Of
skating. The invention consists simply of a
pair Of magnifed skate irons, braced together in
the form OF a cutter or sled, and provided with
devices for securing an ordinary chair upon
them. The legs of the chair rest in pivOtsd
sockets. attached to the skate irons, the rear
ones being adjusted by means of longitudinal
slots in the runners, and secured by thumb and
other nuts. To the back Of the chair Is attached
guiding bar, supported by arms. The advan.
tages Of this device are In the fact that the
ners may bo either smooth and without engaging
edges, as the ordinary sled runners, or may be
bona Gac skate irons, capable OF adheriDg to the
CLASSY surface. For the conveyance Of children,
feeble persons, or ladies, II may bc used either
as draw sled or pushed chair, and for thos,
Just learning to skate II will afford a certain
support and guide.
