THE WATER QUESTION.

The contract entered into two years
ago between the committee appointed
bv the citizens and Major Mccoy. with
reference 10 " constant supply of wa
ter for fire purposes. expires on the
first day ofJune next. Under the terms
Of the contract the fire-pluG>, we he
lieve, revert TO the citizens. Ii i
needless to say that without a supply
of water they are utterly useless.
What action, if any, is to be
taken regarding this important que>-
ton. we do not know. Ii Is high time,
however, that something WIS being
done in the premises. Major Mccoy
has fulfilled his part of the contract 10
the letter, keeping the tanks We'll filled
at all times, and ever permitting large
quantities OF water 10 be used during
the summer months for SprinkljnS the
streets and cooling the atmosphere.
Whether he will suffer this candi-
ton of affairs to extend beyond
the expiration 81 the contract alluded
to. is a matter tha; deserves the imnc-
dia;e attention of i business men
and proper,y-holdor>. 1t VII lot do
for the own 10 be left entirely al the
mercy of the flames. and i; i Of the
very first importance 20 our pcopleto
know whether a reliable supply OF VA
ter. as heretofore, can be obtained. In
the absence of any other authorized
power, we think it might lie well
for the old committee 10 assume
the responsibility OF acting for the
people. The members thereof might
at lcas. ascertain the exac condition of
affairs. and make such suggestions as
may be deemed proper. The commit
tee is composed of leading citizens. all
heavy taxpayers who are thoroughly
Identified with the best Interests OF the
town. We look to these gentlemen TO
either extend the existing contract
or make such suggestions as will lead
