4 SUGGESTION - Now that the warmcst
and most oppressive weather Of the season
is upon us-and is quite likely to remain
at Il high degree of temperature for the
next two months-0ur citizens cannot but
realize the great disadvantages we all en-
durc by not having bath houses or means
for thorough bathing which is Il necessity
for comfort and great conduccr Of good
health. There is not Il hath house within
the town, and yet there is not Il village in
the State to which water is 50 accessible
for this purpose as MccIanicstown. Now
we wish to suggest Il plan by which every
family may be fully supplied with this
greatest of summer luxurics. BY the sim
pie laying of q main pipe from some one
of the numerous springs along the noun
tain through the middle of each street, Il
fun supply Of pure and fresh water could
be had for Il comparatively trillng sum.
For its conveyance into houses, side pipes
could he easily and chcaply furnished, and
once this great pleasure Of having q bath
house is experienced, VIC feel satisfied no
one would be without it for twice the sum
it may cost. The whole arrangement may
yet be completed to give great benefit this
summer, if the proper persons will only
take holl Of it. win not such cntcrpris-
iny gentlemen as Van i. Oslcr judy,

| shaw, the Mcssrs. Rouzcrs, and many
others that we might mention, take this
me sure into consideration We believe
sui}crn! means could be raised Ivy sub.
scrplion among our citizens to complete
the work entirely. Let there he Il meeting
held some evening to discuss its merits
Will somebody be kind enough to select a
suitable sprlng and give us an estimate OF
/ the probable cost Of this great luxury and
CONVENIENCE? Let us hear from you on
the subject
