The Water Supply.

A great many water takers are of
the opinion that they have the right
to let their MIGRANTS run all the time
day and night. Such is not the in
tention of the Water Board in issu-
ing permits to water takers. When
a citizen applies and pays for water
on his premises, it is presumed that
he will only use what is actually ne
cessary for all his wants, and waste
no more than is necessary. The idea
that to let a hydrant run continually
will improve the water, is a
mistaken one, 1t is well enough
when opening a hydrant to get wa
ter, to let off what is contained in the
supply-pipe-a bucketful or so, but
beyond that it can have nc effect in
cooling the water, no matter how
long the hydrant may be kept run-
ming. When a number of hydrants
