amount which the builder claims will he made.
the achievement will be one that every man
thereafter will feel proud OF having assisted TO
accomplish.
Gas and water should be supplied AS cheap As
pos sslblc and iheio Is no sufficient reason why
Wilminstm should not build works of her own
and thus enable hor merchants and woi klnen to
light up their stores and workshop as brilliantly
aud cheaply as those ot other cities. The city Is
now paying betv cen so, 600 and I, 200 year for

that for S2o0,0o0 the city might have her own
works and supply the people for 81 per thousand

and ali should give it carcful consideration
