got his first lesson he hurried away to
show j, how easy it was to become a

good advice, placed himself in an at;i

The Wnter Question.

AIn. EDITOR: It is proper that the
citizens should be informed that a large
waste OF the water supply is daily and
nightly taking place, especially during
the night. On Sunday night, fully
$50, 600 gallons Of spring water was run
of, fully enough for a full days supply.
The distributing reservoir is divided
into two sections. In one, we aim to
keep spring water, and in the other,
river water, for IN emergency. The
water wasted on Sunday night was
wholly from the spring water section.
On Monday morning, We had to turn on
the river water, as there was but small
accumulation Of water in The old receiv.
ing reservoir.
1t is estimated TINT tho springs sup.
ply daily about 100000 gallons. If. in
the night time, $50. 900 Of it be let loos,
from tho hydrants and supply pipes.
where is the daily supply to como from
According to the present rate of con.
sumption, the remaining 10000 gallons
would supply tho city about thirty
minutosl
II tho citizens prefer to have the
spring water to uso for drinking pur.
poses, instead OF having it let loose to
wash out cutters and for other unne.
cessary purposes, We respectfully sug.
gest that they appeal for a remedy to
the Mayor and Aldermen of the oity,
who alone have the power to correct the
waste. We are powerless to do any
thing. s. A. PEARCE, JR.,
