Our Wafer Supply.

"CitiZen" directs attention to the subject OF the
water supply in certain portions Of city and urges
the adoption Of such stringent measures as will pro-
mise an ordinary degree Of immunity from the perls
OF conAagration to which the report Of Charles H.
Haswell states we are exposed To lay new MAINS az
he proposes, would require much time ana incalcu-
liable expense and where thousands OF millions of
property Is at stake as at present, immediate rem.
edy is demanded. The first sep should be action to
put step to the present wanton aud dishonest waste
OF water, for by SO dong not only would there be
greater head OF water but also the pressure at the
MIGRANTS would be considerably augmented. After
dilating on the wul extravaganza carried on here
and the vigilance exercised in other countries to pre-
vent waste, "Cltlzen" states that our consumption
already equals, II not exceeds, that OF London, max.
ing the abuse most Elaringly apparent These facts
ought TO be sufficient to startle the community and
awaken the authorities, the insurance companies
and citizens generally TO the stern necessity OF Im-
mediate action.

The evidence taken under commission 10 France TO
show that the original idea of the importers led

the effect that the invoice was in every respect

fraudulent, showed this theory to be. This was
two years ago. Now other facts seem 70 nave
icome to their knowledge and they hare changed
their base Of operations aud the very fact OF their
