fact, and should claim the attention
of the Council. But we despair of
any exhibition Of wisdom or business

been warned By Us and by the Repub-

precipilate haste which they were
making, but without avail. Messrs.
Van Ripper aud Muhlhaugen have
the matter all fixed up" and the

THE WATER WORKS QUESTION.
The Democratic System OF EcOnO-
my-Is it Earnest or Humbug ?

From our report of the proceedings
of the Council on Monday evening, 1T
will be seen that Mr.. Van Ripper,
Chairman of the Water Works Com
mittee, submitted a proposition from
Mr.. W. @. Weir, in which that gen
tleman gives detailed specifications Of
the buildings aud appurtenances be-
longing to Water Works, proposing
to construct the buildings, pumping
shaft and drift, and twelve miles of
mains for $4,000.
One would naturally infer, from the
report of the committee with Mr..
Van Riper atits head, that it had been
to all possible pains acting In promo
tion of the peoples interests to get
the lowest estimate that could be sub
mitted for the work.
Now, without asking whether they
were compelled by the strict letter of
law to invite bids for the work by
publication, yet, in our opinion, wis
dom and business foresight would
have dictated such a course whereby
the very considerable expense, which
this undue haste may occasion, would
be and might still be saved to the
city.
We have been impelled to make
these remarks from q conversation
with an accomplished architect and
engineer, In which ne expressed his
great surprise that tho Water Works
Committee had not invited sealed
proposals for the work as is custom
airy in all cases of works of any i'm
portanee.
The gentleman referred to, said that be
had awaited such an invitation to sub
NIT proposition with specifications
attached, for the work. But that,
to his great regret, he saw that the
committee were authorized by the
Council TO close a contract for the
work for $175,00 subject to ratifi-
cation by the Council. In the same
connection the gentleman above re-
ferred to said that he would have
done the same work, of the same
quality, with full guarantees for Its
performance for Very mach reduced
price, particularly as his firm had
made a specially of the construction ct
| Water Works
| We feel fully authorized to assure
! our readers that the difference 10
the cost would be no trihe, but on the
contrary would amount to a very
snug little capital. In pursuance of
this information, we advised the
gentleman, as a measure of interest
to the city, to submit his proposals,
/ with the specifications, to the COM
mittee and the Council.
IF it is true, as we have always been
assured, and sought to be made be-
lieve, that our City Fathers, without
distinction of party, have the welfare
and interest of the city at heart, they
should reflect twice before finally
ratifying the authorized contract for
the erection of Water Works.
