FRIEND McGREaoR:-We notice in
last week. issue OF the Repository and
Republican some editorial remarks in
relation to the progress and manages
ment OF our City Water Works, and
We're much pleased to learn that paper
advocated the improvement, in fact we
might say are numbered among its es-
pecial friends, in fRvoring n new loan,
wishing all our citizens TO vote for IL
and takiRg an active Interest in A,llhat
pertains 10 the success of the enterprise.
Yet their is one point suggested by our
Rep and Rep friends in WhichfWe differ
and that is the changing OF the nlodus
operandi in the management and con-
struction of the work, at least until
something can be shown that is mani-'
testify wrong, in our opinion 1t will be
time then to make a change Weare 50
anxious ourself to see this Improvement
completed that we feel sorry to see any
new idea in connection with its man
agements sprung upon us at this time,
as for our part. we rest satisfied the
matter is so palpabiy plain. there IS
no cause for suspicion. Every thing
connected with our money matters. with
the contracts, with the purchase of tools,
&c. &c, can b seen and understood by
any one Here are the bills, vouchers
receipts, check or time rolls; let any
gentlemen or citizen who feel interested,
examine and be satisfied. Let US not
be suspicious, Jealous or afraid. but
work in unity and harmony. This is
great Improvement for Canton Few
towns in the State are blessed with the
facilities which we possess for an enter
prise OF this kiad, having lake of pure
fresh soft water within TWO miles OF our
city and lying some fifty feet above rs.
This is enough o. itself, when our works
are completed, to add so per cent. to the
value OF our property. Then l repeat
again let Us work in unity, In pluribus
ununl, until orr work is finished each
citizen can act as trustee and see that all
is right. we feel ike giving credit 70

Energetic thorOugh-gOing and. efficient
in any thing he undertakes. He is the
right man la the right place. We are
pleased to know a large majority of our
council are warm friends to the inn
prOYement including thefr,worthy press
ident Mr.. d. Worley. This fact together
with the Endorsement OF nearly OlI the
citizens OF Canton will insure the COM
pletiOn OF our great, grand and glorious
undertaking beyond II doubt. 1 tho'te
some when commencing this article OF
saying something about the advantages,
the comforts, the blessings OF having
this lake water introduced into Canton,
bat / md on reflection they are so nu-
merOus It would require at least one
Quire OF fOolscap To make q respectable
commencement, so will not undertake
tn job, knowing the good sense and
judgm lent OF our citizens will appreciate
them fully. We will however state here
as oLr honest convictions, that, with
Mr.. L. Schaefsr as hnancier. Mr. Pills.
bury as engineer, and Mr.. Blake as
superintendent of labor, we will have
the Myers Lake water introduced into
our houses and places in a very short
time "a JiI gCIFlZEF' =
