Mr.. EDITOR: The Portland Water Company
have agreed and are bound by their charter to
furnish at all times TO the city of Portland,
without charge to the city, for use in public
buildings and school houses of the city, and for
the extingushme mt of fires and other munich
pal purposes, such amount and volume of water
as may be needful Therefore" and they further
agree Ito supply free from charge to the city,
the water for three public fountains" 1T the
Water Company, from any cause. are unable to
fulfil their part of the contract, and comply
with the terms of its charter, let the company
PASS into hands that can and will comply with
its contracts and charter
If the city of Portland is having more water
from the company than the company agreed to
furnish under penalty of FORGETTING its charter,
consumer but not one dollar subsidy. Why,
the city of Portland is invited to feast in this
matter, that the feast of soup in large. shall
low dish that the fox in the fable invited the
crane to partake OF, has no comparison.
1t is reported that there has been six or seven
hundred thousand dollars of thei Portland
Water Company's stock placed among fa-
yored few, where it will do the most good"
without dollar ever having been paid for it,
and now this effort is being made to get money
enough out of the city, with the earnings of the
company, to pay the interest on the bonds and
debt of the company, and leave surplus of a
few thousand dollars, which would enable the
directors to declare stock dividend, TINS Civ
ing the stock a market value; then of course it
will be sold, and the proceeds, amounting to a
large sum, doubtless to hundreds of thousands
of dollars, will go into the hands of those who
never took the risk of a farthing, or paid dol
lar for the stock.
The gentlemen who own and control the
stock of the Portland Water Company should,
if they want to raise $4,000, assess the stock
of the company two and one-half per cent, and
raise that sum, instead of whining around the
city government trying to make the burden of
the tax payers more onerous, now grevious to
be borne. ANTI CREDIT MoBILIER.

THE EXCURSION TO UPPER BARTLETT.-The

learn bids fair to exceed in numbers any pre-

wishes to view the scenery in the vicinity of
the White Mountains. The train will start
precisely at eight o'clock and every one intend
ing to go should secure a ticket to-day, or be-
fore entering the cars, as no one will be per-
mtted to enter the train who does not possess a
ticket Each car will be comfortably filled
and no more, and a sufficient number of cars
will be provided to insure every ticket holder a
seat This course is pursued to avoid a rush
and crowd on entering the cars. The train
will stop at various points on the road for the
purpose of receiving passengers, who will be
furnished with tickets by the Committee of
Arrangements
Tea, coffee and other refreshments will be in
readiness as soon as the train arrives on the
ground. and amusements can commence at the
pleasure of the excursionists. A sub commit:
tee will precede the excursion train in order to
have everything in readiness.
Let it be understood that if the weather is
rainy in the morning, the excursion will be
postponed to the first fair day. Again we say,
secure your tickets to-day.

Had it not been for water furnished by the

Works would have been totally destroyed by
the fire Friday night, involving loss to the
city of much more than the total cost of the
Water Works up to the present time.
Five hundred men would have been thrown
out of employment, not less than twenty five
hundred persons would have been taken from
our population.
The stockholders of the Portland Company
wonld have lost what could not have been re-
placed for 100000. The City would have lost
in taxes from the Portland Company, about
$4,000 per annum, and not less than 600 poll

in amount taxed 81 800.
