the opening OF. hydrants, except Tor fire
purposes. during the time required in
cleaning the reservoir.
In conclusion, Dir. Mayor. allow me TO
say. what should suggest itself to every
unprejudiced mind, that the Columbia
Water Power Company, or I, as its
agent, can have no possible interest or
motive in supplying water that is not
pure. 1t ia no economy on my part, but,
on the contrary, is heavy daily expense
to draw water from the river-an ex-
pense which the company wonid very
gladly avoid. If directed by the Council
not to do so, will cheerfully obey the
direction, and will thenceforth force M
only the water from the springs. But
so to do. and thereby to subject the city
to the hazard Of a failing supply, is q re.
sponsibiiity which the company cannot
be expected to assume without authority,
II the Council will impose proper reeu.
lations. limiting the unnecessary waste
OF wat0r. and the citizens will in like
manner lend thei. cooperation, all the
evils complained OF may be speedily re-
medied. With such regulations which
the company has neither the right to i'm
pose nor the power to enforce, the sup
ply from the springs. which the citizons
appear generally to prefer, will be found
fuiiy adequate.
