THE STEEL WoRKS.-We are informed
that the Portsmouth Steel Manufacture 2
Co., have decided not to remove their works
to this city. The citizens of Portsmouth
have taken hold of the matter, and offer
them greater inducements to remain in tina.
city. This will release Mr. Bailey Davenport
from the generous offer of land he had
made to this company whereon to locate
their works. We have no doubt that Mr..
Davenport will extend the same liberality
towards any other manufacturing institution
of the same Importance wishing to locate
here. Manufacturers and capitalists will do
well to examine into the advantages of this
locality.

THE CRY WATER WoREs.-Now that the
Water Works are completed aud our oiti-
Eens are beginning to realize the great sd
vAusagss ard comfort ACQUIRING from them,
the voices Of those who had strongly OPP
posed the enterprise, are heard no more in
the land, or are tuned with one accord in a
refrain of gladnsss and thanks. It had
been thought and argued by many that the
expense Of running the works would more
than overbalSnoe the benefits the city would
receive. But the fAllAcy Of their reasoning
has been proved. The works have been
built in the most efficient manner for the
least possible sum. They have substantiStsd
the fact that they can do all tia. has ever
been claimed for them. Careful oomputS-
ton has been made BY men interested in
the enterprise, and the estimated annual ex.
penss OF running them, including interest
on their cost, Is &l5, 900. The water rents
already amount to nearly 50, 200, additional
service pipe ia being attached every day,
and it is perfectly safe to estimate the rents
at $4,000 by the frat of January, '73.
Now let uI look at the subject a moment.
Il is no moro than right thar the works
should receive the same support which is
accorded to them in other places. Cities
that have works put in by private compan-
les, Of course have to pay for the water
used BY the public. DesmOines pays Sl6O
per hydrant, and the company that proposed
to lay the works in Davenport demanded
$3.50 FOR each hydrant. The smallest
amount paid BY any city, which has been
heard from, is $50 per hydrAnt. The Rock
Island works have about rs hydrants. Now,
supposing that the city allows $50 per by
drant to be credited to the account Of the
Water Commissioners. The amount would
be about $4,60O,--considerAbly less than
the annual expense of the old FIRE depart
ment, hence il would be no increase of ex-
pense, and il would give the works fair
showing. It is thought by the best 6nAn-
ciers in the city who have examined the
matter, that, if this is done, the water works
will run themselves the first year, and soon
become a source Of revenue TO the city.
When the greater security from FIRE which
we enjoy, the decrease Of per centsge on in
aurAnoe, and the innumsrAbls Ad ,sntages
and conVeniences which we receive are
'aksn into confederation the improvement
must command universal appreciation.

that our city authorities have At last come
to the conclusion that they can't sell Union

when our people can extend there vision a
few rods beyond ihe three business blocks

who owns property on Orleans and Rock

few blocks on Illinois street must do oil the

drawn in between the pitman and the bull

and the flesh from head to foot on the left
side horribly torn. 1t is thought his arm
was caught while he was hanging up the
