The following BILL which we give en-
tire, was introduced into the Senate BY
Senator Schmidt, on the 18th instant, the
bill of which is as follows: " 4 bill relat-
ing to the construction Of cistcrns or reser-
voirs in the city Of Manitowoc." This is
the most important measure, as far as our
city is concerned, that has been introduced
in the State Legislature. In large cities,
which have no Water Works, there are
constructed what are generally termed Fire
Wells, or clsterns, located at the intersec-
ton of two streets, with post erected on
the side walk, properly marked, or painted
indicating the location of the reservoir.
The system has proved to be q valuable
one, and would prove so here. A ready
supply of water at all seasons Of the year
would thus be secured, and the Fire De
partment made more effective for the pur-
pose for which it was Created. We trust
the bill will pass, as it Is most equitable III
its provisions the cost of the construction
Of the cisterns falling only on the owners Of
the property Immediately benefited by the
same. In this connection, we unders tanl
that petition is about to be submitted to
