superlntendent Cummins, Of the Water
Works, last Saturday, called the attention
Of the Water Works Committee TO the
present threatening condition ofthe Water
Wo:ks. He considers, as we have been
repeatedly informed, that there is on
argen; necessity for repairs or for new
water works, as the works in their present
condition, while barely able to supply the
ordinary and increasing demand, are
liable to let down at any time. The
Committee should give the matter their
immediate attention and report the facts
10 Council. II they do not, VIC suggest
the matter is one of so much moment
that Council should appoint a special
committee 10 look into it.
The question of a future water supply
is really serious one, No well informed
person doubts that VIC ought to have a
new and enlarged Water Works, located
clear above the city; but the city is SO
hampered by the constitutional provision
limiting her power to borrow money,
that it is not easy to see how the money is
10 he obtained to build them. It Is a
question that ought to receive imme.
diste attention at the hands Of Council.
lit be found that the City is unable, or
Council is unwilling, to takC adequate
measures to secure an increased water
supply, or at least to assure the uninter.
rupted continuance Of the present one, 1t
would be nothing more than prudence
for largo manufacturing establishments
to mako arrangements to supply them:
selves.
