a letter from of citizens, calling attention

kept constantly filled with water. During the sp-
preaching winter. as during that which has passed
there will frequently be days when the bursting of
the water pipes, occasiOned by the frost, will cut
on the supply of water from the entire city. Should
a FIRE occur at such time il would be simple im-

struction. Within an hour IL would lie a mass OF
